Did he learn that before or after he spent $250 million dollars to get him elected and acted like he was best buddies with him until very recently?

He's just trying to cover his arse and recover what's left of his shattered reputation. Can't we just fucking universally shun this shit-head now? Keep reporting on his many transgressions, but stop giving the worthless cunt air-time and interviews.

We can't because he bought one of the largest megaphones in existence. I hope the two tear each other apart

Nope. We don't hear about Musk's twitter crap from reading twitter, we hear about it only because the news media shoves it in people's faces. The news media is handing Musk his megaphone.

Yep I loathe narcistic billionaires and pay as little attention to them as possible. But when 2 of them go after each other, I do enjoy watching that.

We can all choose not to listen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Hard not to listen when he’s everywhere we fucking look.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

It's not like people who post it on Lemmy could just ..not post it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I'm trying, but you fuckers keep reposting his bullshit for no other reason than to get likes. No-one's forcing anyone to do that. I'll downvote it every time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We also should keep assuming he's lying. The two of them would happily fight in public and keep chatting on the phone or by email to cut back door deals for each other, if they thought it would relieve political pressure.

Remember, all they do is lie, all of every day, it's just that you don't always know about what or why. Everything in their lives is a con.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Which is exactly why we should not be listening to, reporting on or repeating anything he says unless it's under oath in one of his trials.

And maybe bring up actual positive initiatives, like unionization, whenever discussions do revolve around his self-serving talking points.

Nope. The reason he is doing this is to keep on getting the narcistic attention that all narcissists crave. Its the same reason he joined with Trump in the first place. He wanted to horn in on Trump's narcistic attention. And now after being fired he wants to keep on getting narcistic attention independently of Trump's narcistic attention.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

And we keep giving it to him like a bunch of fucking chumps.

Please stop spreading misinformation, Elon spent $44 billion (yes with a b) getting him elected.

There's been pictures of trump hanging out with Epstein for a long time. There also the numerous allegations of sexual assault as well as being found liable. Backstage at pageant shows, etc.Trump is and has been a creep for a long ass time.

He got to disrupt critical government agencies, destroy the evidence against him, and got to boss the president around for a few months... seems like a pretty good deal. Just putin's wallet is much deeper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

The world knew it before Epstein was killed.

This isn't news. It was on television.
