My fervent wish: Musk Versus Maga. Or is that Godzilla versus King Kong?

It's about money.
Money isn't the most important thing.,
IT'S THE ONLY THING

Techies got the "Wham Bam, thank you maam" from Trump. (references below)
They prostituted themselves and the John TOOK THE MONEY AND RAN.

All the goodies they prostituted themselves for have been tossed in the shitcan.
Trump got his hacked election, and his entree to the criminal world of crypto.
It was fun. Goodbye.
"Who's got all the brains, now?"

Best paragraph:

One word of advice for those in Silicon Valley who followed Musk’s lead and sided with Trump. Leave. Don’t delude yourself that you are working to make crypto a part of global finance, minimising artificial intelligence regulation, helping start-up companies or protecting the interests of Silicon Valley. You have no sway. You are just cannon fodder.

Seduced and abandoned.

ELON! HE FUCKED YOU OVER.
YOU GOT MONEY
Put the magats between a rock and a hard place.

The last paragraph is the best.

Story by Michael Moritz
The writer is a longtime Silicon Valley investor, former board member of PayPal and an investor in SpaceX

The eruption between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has reverberated around the world. It must be mortifying for those in Silicon Valley who threw their support behind the president thinking he would shrink the federal government. With Musk’s departure, any hope of a disciplined approach to the US government and budget goes as well. Musk is right; the Trump budget is an abomination.

lavish praise of Musk (deleted)

By comparison, Trump has none of Musk’s business acumen or his attention span. Since the inauguration, he has run the government just like he operated his own business, raising mountains of debt and betraying employees, while escaping unscathed himself.

What is the result of this meeting of company builder and medieval monarch? It’s the opposite of what was promised: a US budget that has ballooned, debt levels that will only rise and crushing interest payments that make the country vulnerable to its largest creditors — Japan and China.

One word of advice for those in Silicon Valley who followed Musk’s lead and sided with Trump. Leave. Don’t delude yourself that you are working to make crypto a part of global finance, minimising artificial intelligence regulation, helping start-up companies or protecting the interests of Silicon Valley. You have no sway. You are just cannon fodder.

Completely predictable. He rolled in the hay with the tech bros, got his hacked election, got his entree into the slimy world of crypto and "Thanks for the ride, my true love is the maga troglodytes. And money., money, money.

Dumb Shits.

5. Sci-fi fans today

often don't appreciate the work that was necessary in the old days to make a film. I loved the Ray Harryhausen films as a child.

6. Elon and tRump must go down in flames

Both are the devil incarnate. Traitors are dealt with in a certain way in the US. The fucking moron can be executed but Musk can't. Oh well. Off with their heads!!!

8. "By comparison, Trump has none of Musk's business acumen or his attention span."

Ya, I suppose it’s relative.

I don’t have any skin in this match. I am more of a Mothra fan. Not only is she the guardian of the human race, she can fly.
