Elon learned the hard way that you can't do politics if you're unlikeable to literally everyone.

But then how does Ted Cruz keep finding work?
My guess is that Cancun Cruz is totally human and doesn't use mindcontrol.
Lizzad peeple!
Is this a mock fight then?
Did Trump and Musk actually do anything against each other or is it just a headline each time either of them manages to string together a sentence longer than three words?
I am leaning a bit towards it being smoke and mirrors...
Musk needs a way out to save his tesla stocks, in his political doge role he was so unpopular that it torched his Tesla value, his chance to become the first trillionaire is diminished ...
So, being visibly critical of, and exiting doge over, a new tax bill might give him some brownie points in the eyes of the public (or so he hopes) and he'll launch some propaganda how Tesla is so good for the environment again to get people back on board.
But besides that, he already accomplished what he set out to do, used doge to dig up all sorta of data, twist systems where needed for trumps later goals/plans, and with his help and the stolen data elon made sure lawsuits against him and his companies were silenced. This was his slightly subtle plan to do.
Whatever the doge department was supposed to stand/work for was not important at all, just look at the real numbers of its accomplishments.... All in all just about zero, since current contracts just run out their time and or get paid out anyway, they just won't get renewed. So they're basically shouting "doge saved 50million now by not signing a new contract in 2 years time" Which isn't really a current saving at all, is it?
Meanwhile he'll be chummy with Trump, if only to make sure "people won't ever need to vote again", but that role does not require public appearances from elon.
Doesn't matter. Fuck Elon. And me and at least six people I know now have ditched their Tesla's and sworn them off forever.
I wish Elon the best of player two.
Elon is a Hitler heiling Nazi that "fed USAID to the wood chipper" and is now responsible for the deaths of over 300,000 people and climbing. Always will be.
Looks like my man's gonna have to stop wearing the "trump was right about everything" cap 🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't sound like much criticism. Sounds like hyperbolic headlines again. Surprised it didn't say MUSK SLAMMED TRUMP!
