The world's richest man had some harsh words for Donald Trump's so-called "big, beautiful" bill on Saturday.
Elon Musk worked with Trump for months after the election, only to have a spectacular blow-up after his exit from the White House. That public fight began due to Musk's criticism of Trump's signature bill.
Musk appeared to make up with Trump, and started holding his tongue more. It has been weeks since reporters have had anything to say about Musk criticizing Trump or his legislation.
They're still worth some because it shows MAGA is starting to fracture. Even die hards like MTG are now against the bill. You know, after they passed it in the house without reading it.
I can't believe I'm playing defense for MTG but, voting for the bill in the House was a low risk action because there was absolute certainty that there would have to be back and forth with the Senate. The vote in the house was basically a vote to get the process started in the Senate.
The bill as a whole though is still absolute shit stuffed with one horror after another. I do hold everyone who voted for it responsible for that. I just don't think it's a big deal that she voted for some specific aspects that she later opposed. That's just how the process of Omnibus bills works.
So, i am confused. If Musk says something is bad - then it must be good, right? But that thing is coming from Trump, meaning it certainly must be horrible shit.
So much confusion!
It's as bad as Elon is saying! He's just upset it isn't worse, he was promised it would be worse, and that he'd get a lot of money, but they left him out so he's really disappointed.
Why is anyone listening to what Elon says?
Any interview with Elon needs to start with "You said Trump was in the Epstein logs, is that true or did you make it up?" Followed by "Why would you support and work for a person in the Epstein logs?"
It is, but him saying that is an obvious attempt to buy back his reputation. His clock stopped at the Nazi salute. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Some more WWE-like wrestling soap opera drama. None of this is going to affect him at the end of the day and he's such a try-hard for verification. He acts like he can't do anything about this bill, but will happily bank roll Nazi idealist parties all over the world. He helped kill a bill in Congress already and he's not even an elected official. Again, now that he is out of the inner circle, he's trying to be "cool" by acting like nothing happened.
Oh, this is all going to affect him. Not in the way he likes.
The guy formerly in the inner circle is soon going to realize that he made the entire government consist of inner circles. Dictatorships don't run on laws.
Those laws primarily protect the rich.
The country of laws that existed four years ago served Elon more than it served any other individual. But because there were a few laws he didn't like, he helped to destroy all of it.
We're all going to pay for that, Elon included most of all.
Fuck his disingenous posturing. We know what Musk stands for, the exact same thing as Trump does, and nothing he can unconvincingly lie about now will change that fact.
He's panicking because it has renewables being taxed, which hurts his business. And while in this instance he's not wrong, he's still a piece of shit. And yet, their chaos is our opportunity.
