"He's finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him," an anonymous source close to the Republican Party told Politico. "He'd go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people's votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. … It doesn't work. It's offensive to people."

I believe it's a media tactic to publish stories like that, Trump's bromance with Musk is sour, Trump not happy with Netanyahu, Trump angry with Putin. All these stories serve the purpose that Trump can show growth. In reality, neither Trump or Musk care.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

its all a distraction and sanewashing. to the horrible tarriffs, the doge cuts, the continued support of gaza, notice how all that partially disappeared from the MSMs, they are complicit because they are owned by conservatives too.

and the biggest one right now, is medicaid/care and tax cuts right now. it was the same tactic they used to bury all the luigi news from DEC-JAN.

all those trump's(hate this or that") are just gaffes.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

And neither have the capacity for growth. However, Trump does care what people think. It's part of his narcissism.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

He certainly doesn't care what i think

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah in this thumbnail image it looks like Musk is holding back a smile as if it's all a setup to dupe the masses.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

The image is from March, but who knows

I am more inclined to believe Thiel set him up to be the face of all the DOGE work and then had him step down when Kratsios was nominated.

I also saw something about nuralink stock being up though, so could be a distraction

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I just see it like two fat kids fighting over a burger. Only so much of the US to eat.

[–] breecher 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But that is the point, they are not fighting over it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

You don't think they're both looking for a chance to take more from the other?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Nah, it's all an act. Polls show that HitlerPig's numbers are slipping, so they are blaming his associations with Skum and Putin, so he is talking them down right now. It must be them, right? Everybody would love HitlerPig if those other guys were out of the picture.

Now that he's disavowed Skum and Putin, his numbers will certainly go up. That's what they're thinking.

It won't work. Everybody hates him.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you read the quote from the anonymous source in Trump's voice...it sounds exactly like the way he would shit talk somebody

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Right? I was surprised it said anonymous because I immediately had his face in mind when I read it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

he polls terribly? HE'S NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. How the fuck does he poll?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

You can poll anything, you just need money to run a poll and people to answer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You can create a poll for anything?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

He’s just now figuring out he’s disposable. “Brilliant business man” gets fucked over by sundowning Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

Dont believe in Eloj. Still a Nazi. Picture probably for all show. Avoid Tesla at all cost.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

why do i still see the scumrat sucking around the Whitehouse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They want him to take a out of the limelight approach I guess.

[–] AlecSadler 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I hope he gets sued to high hell and Trump refuses any pardons or support and Elon legitimately ends up in prison.

Or he gets cancer.

Or he overdoses.

IDGAF at this point, he needs to end and Tesla needs to collapse.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I can think of like a dozen people who need to go away and never be heard from again. Elon is just another grifter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Trump, Musk, Putin, Netanyahu, etc are symptoms of a disease. We need to treat the cause or a new douchebag will simply fill the void.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Like either of them ever actually liked each other. Purely a transactional relationship never without an expiration date.

Or, he's trying to distance himself by using the media. Like how he usually will make false statements to gain attention to Doge Coin or the boring company and all the other companies he tries to get attention for.

This looks like it was either made in the 2020s or early 2000s no in-between.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

This is what it felt like, living from the early 2000s to the 2020s.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Wonder if elon still calls?

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

Did he beat the cabbage?

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

They're both shitcunts with massive egos, I knew it wouldn't be long before there was a rift

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Anyone believing this is a fucking idiot.

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

So he was really "fired" or asked to leave DOGE.
