So, according to Trump, Musk "knows those vote counting machines." Now that their bromance is on the rocks, will Musk

[LaMouffette]

use his ability to manipulate the votes to ensure that Trumpie and Republicans in Congress are defeated in the upcoming elections???

This would be exquisite, because if Trump and the Repubs then accuse Musk of messing with the voting machines, Musk can then reveal that he manipulated the machines to throw the election to Trump in 2024. Or maybe not, because he would then expose himself as having committed the crime.

But whatever happens, it just delights the crap at me that:
a. Trump threw the smug and arrogant Elon under the bus;
b. Trump throws everyone under the bus, yet the world's richest, and supposedly most brilliant man on earth did not see it coming;
c. that Trump, having thrown many victims under the bus and having experienced no consequences, did not anticipate that Elon would get up from under the bus and go into attack mode; and
d. Trump did not realize that he was playing with fire in the form of an unstable, drug-addicted, sociopathic megalomaniac, much like himself, the key difference being that Musk is much richer than Trump and money equals power to inflict great damage on one's enemy.

Trump thought he could control Musk and Musk thought he could control Trump. Both were wrong.

I just wish Trump 2.0 were a season of Survivor or a Netflix crime drama instead of the horrifying real life we are all being subjected to.

1. Those trophy wives usually go for the guy with the most money

How's Melania these days ?

2. Good point! I wonder if Melania will self-deport and find another sugar daddy in a land far away?

3. Musk is a pure fascist, he would never do anything to interrupt his gravy train on steroids or help anyone.

He has billions of dollars of contracts with the krasnov govt and will not risk them. Money and power for himself and the other rich reich wing whites is his north star and the only thing he cares about. He won't try to defeat krasnov because he knows he will get the most from that idiot and because Pooty won't give him $$ anymore if he does that.

6. I don't know. Like Trump, Musk has both an instinct toward self-preservation/self-enrichment AND a tendency to

self-destruct, like with his drug use and for becoming one of the most-hated people in the world through his DOGE actions and destroying his Tesla brand.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this all ends. I just hope it ends soon.

4. No evidence any voting machines were messed with. The technical interference with the enromous ad buys in specifc

Concentrated areas with the purpose of swaying key demographics, and basically imprisoning workers to knock on doors for a purpose they didn't understand, is probably even worse though.

7. I'm not so sure they weren't messed with, given Trump's strange "You won't have to vote anymore" and other statements.

Plus, there's the fact that everything they accuse Democrats of is precisely what they are guilty of, and they have been accusing Democrats of rigging the elections and tampering with the voting machines for years now.

9. All that means is that we don't know what they did to steal it.

Just because we don't see the evidence through our established means of checking for vote tampering doesn't mean Elon and his Techbros haven't come up with a new method.

5. This is the best part of a celebrity break-up.

They spill the tea. I bet we're going to find out who was responsible for turning that election.

8. The truth will out some day. The questions are when, and will there be any consequences for the guilty parties.
