Yeah I don't buy this for a second. He might not be prominent anymore but until the government stops working for his explicit benefit I doubt he's on the outs.

They'll never say that he's finished loud enough for him to really notice, I suspect. Not while he's the richest man in the world. As long as he's willing to throw money at them, though at least pretend to be his "friends." I mean it's not like we're talking about people with actual souls here.

he will just hide behind someone else, vought is the current person running doge, he just orchestrate through him like he did with the new twitter ceo.

Don't believe it for a second. Musk was along for the ride on HitlerPig's Middle Eastern Bribery Tour. He's still on board.

The new trend among Sociopathic Oligarchs is owning your own pet politician. How high they are is a status score. Harlan Crow has Clarence Thomas on a leash, Theil has Vance, and Musk has HitlerPig. There are plenty of others.

Musk was instrumental in hacking the election, and not only getting HitlerPig elected, but winning him the popular vote, which HitlerPig wanted so badly. Because of that, HitlerPig will never reject Musk, since his services will be required in 2026 and 2028.

HitlerPig is probably keeping quiet at Musk's request, since his irresponsible behavior has permanently tanked Tesla, which will never recover, and will likely go bankrupt in a couple of years.

he also paid 275-300mil to TRUMP, he expects a ROI.

Musk isn't on Truth Social because Musk told Trump to stop talking about him. Musk is going to temporarily distance himself from Trump because Tesla is crashing.

That's why it's important to keep shitting on Tesla no matter what, forever

too late to save tesla, he shouldve gotten the clue the moment he bought twitter.

Most people still call it Twitter.

I hope this is the first step towards some nasty GOP infighting.

Pictured: "You're fired Elon! Now get outta hea'!" Not-pictured: "Was that a good take, Mr. Musk? We can do it again if you want."

Is the honeymoon finally over?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

Hard to believe.

That it didn’t happen sooner.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I hope he gets sent to CECOT

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

more like he starting to make him look bad, so trump had to disown him.

Lol. Someone's car company isn't doing too well. Gotta temporarily distance himself to focus on his breadwinner.

The actual fallout between these fucks will be much more cringey. These are two petulant children. It'll be a primetime event when they break up for real.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah these two quietly splitting up? No fucking chance.
