Elon Musk Reportedly Owes Donald Trump a Colossal Sum of Money

Billionaire Elon Musk reportedly still owes president Donald Trump an eye-watering $100 million out of the $300 million he committed to get the reality TV star elected.
That's according to the Wall Street Journal, which reports that now that the bromance between the two has seemingly ground to a halt, Musk isn't keeping the cash flowing. Trump's advisors said that the latest $100 million check hasn't arrived yet, in perhaps the most concrete sign yet of a widening rift between the two larger-than-life figures.
Just last week, Musk showed up at his own White House goodbye party with a mysterious black eye, the perfect symbol for a bruising couple of weeks marked by heated exchanges and an alleged brawl.
Though Musk and Trump had an intense public friendship over the course of the election and the early days of the administration, the White House has increasingly been resorting to damage control to keep a raging Musk in check.

(26,591 posts)No, it's not when he's breathing, though that may well be true.
It's when he says "Next Year". Think FSD.
SOLUTION:
Musk offers inventory instead. Or equivalent in drugs.
SOLUTION TO TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT INCREASE:
Sell Donald Trump to Qatar or other competitive bidder. He says he will generate more than that in revenue.
They need to act fast before Trump Gaza. Depressed real estate going for cheap. Almost as if planned.
