Elon Musk: Officially a fraud and piece of shit. Official or unofficial war criminal?

Yeah, I can't see that going over well with the Donald. That's probably something we should get people to rally behind so it could hasten Musks exit from Washington and his subsidies.

I could see Trump telling the SEC to go after Musk, as Trump would have no problem weaponizing his administration for a specific purpose to hurt a perceived enemy.  Plus, it would appeal to his ego - and he would see it as a power-play to warn all other potential rivals off

[Brisketexan 106,876]

Yeah…that’s not gonna happen. Musk is too powerful, and Trump knows it. Trump depends on Musk and his economic paper, as well as his near-total control of information (money is all that matters). Trump has a billion dollars. Musk has hundreds of billions.
Everything they the right supposedly worried about re (((Soros))) has come to pass, with their gleeful assistance.
We are a full-on oligarchy now, and there is no going back that doesn’t involve total collapse and massive bloodshed.
Remember…it only gets worse, and there is no bottom.

Trying to get in Trump‘s head requires you to be an extreme narcissist who sees things as purely transactional favoring him deals….or as toddler-esque acting out need your revenge for perceived slights. 

That is difficult to do. It’s like playing the Joker in the movie and not coming out with significant personality changes.

Ehh, these kinds of people always believe they are the toughest/smartest in the room.

The fact is that with all of his begging/cajoling, Trump primarily stuck with this Truth.social platform even when Musk would clearly have bought it out and paid him off handsomely.  Trump was "harmed" by twitter once when they banned him and he's not going to allow that to happen again, so when he returned last year, it wasn't nearly like it was before he was banned, and it's still not like it was even today.

Trump is now about to be in office and doesn't have much use for Leon, and he gets real pissy when people talk about him being the puppets of others.

I will be surprised if Leon is still around a few months from now.

Now, does he maybe put Leon in check, make him grovel and "forgive" him behind closed door after publicly shitting in his Wheaties, maybe. But can Leon's fragile ass ego handle being dick slapped by Trump publicly then giving him the keys to his Lamborghini  so Trump can fuck his woman in it..

Somebody over there is a strategic thinker. He negotiated the Afghan pull out to happen after the next president might be inaugurated after allowing 5000 Taliban fighters out. And you know he would have reneged on it had he won in 2020. And he also negotiated with the Saudis to cut oil production. Which predictably kicked off global inflation. I'm not sure how he would have necessarily gotten out of that one, but someone may have been able to see the writing on the wall with the president doing poorly in reaction to a global pandemic.

Allowing Tesla to do whatever it wants in Austin will be made a condition of Austin retaining its municipal status. The governor will make that clear to city leadership. “Allow whatever Elon wants, and we won’t turn Austin into a ‘state district.’” Mark my words.

Richest man in the world is infinitely more powerful than elected president. People complain that politicians are bought and paid for, who don’t think is doing that? Elon is just more public with his influence. His wealth comes largely from government contracts for crying out loud. Donal is insulated from criticisms and is too stupid to understand them anyway. He’s also by far the bigger cuck especially since his entire ego is built on being wealthy when he isn’t really that wealthy at all, he’ll let Elon blow a load on his hairpiece on live tv if he asked.

Trump cares about two things and there is a huge variance between the two in importance.

1) His Legacy

This is more important to Trump than even money. This is what matters most. How his legacy is perceived, not just right now, but in his own "future world" mind. That's #1 for Trump and it's not close. If it was money first, he would have never gotten into the political game nor TV. 

2) Money Now, don't get it wrong this is critical, but pales in comparison to what he perceives as his legacy. Nobody, no matter how rich is going to tarnish the perception of #1 no matter how much it brings to Trump's coffers. 

Anyone that can not see how critical his Legacy is to Trump at this point hasn't been paying attention. Nobody is going to take away from that perception. Egomaniac out front should have told you.

For the record, neither of these is good. Being wrong or right either way isn't good for us. I just know Trump cares most about the history written about him. Being a billionaire isn't chump change either. So no, Trump isn't letting anyone, billionaire or not, tarnish his self perceived Legacy. He'd rather fight them and force them to bow then take their money, no ask for it. Based on past events, Leon will do anything to feel important. Feel, not be. Trump knows a fucking mark when he sees one. Leon is a mark and needs Trump more than Trump needs Leon. Even if it weren't true, "Fuck you Leon, bitch boi nerd, I'm the king and you're my bitch."

More of this. This is what drives DJT. And this is where Elon is a thorn in his side - he steals his thunder and that is something DJT won't suffer. If Elon is seen as pulling the strings, Trump will eject him faster than you can jump up and "make" and X logo.

This is where men like Thiel and guys that really know how to stroke Trump's ego will control the situation - they will truly whisper all this shit in Donald's ear and poison their relationship.

Yep, and the memes are increasing in numbers and making the rounds and leaking into the mainstream media, which Trump will definitely see. And somebody who is close to him will show him the memes, to drive a wedge between him and Musk, if he’s not seeing them himself on social media.

Trump’s extremely sensitive about being seen as being his own man - he’s never liked people bringing up what he inherited because it comes across as he hasn’t earned or done anything, and that everything is due to Fred Trump and not him.

Musk is too fucking tone deaf to realize when he goes too far.  He’s pissing off people with the shutdown talk and with blowing up the budget talks.  He can blame it on his self-diagnosed autism, but he’s going to be shocked when it  happens and he’s not able to sit in on any meetings. Thiel knew what he was doing getting Vance into the WH.

I will be surprised if Musk still has access to the WH come February or March.
