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

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.
