Ketamine.
This breakup was inevitable. You don’t get two egos that big orbiting around one another without them inevitably clashing
Ketamine.I think you have hit on an elegantly uncomplicated explanation for what we are seeing today. Occams razor. Very likely motivation.
But the whole story arc. It's so broad. He has been so passionate about what he was doing with "DOGE".
And then we went from "It's all computer!" to the divorce in like 2ish months? Was he acting then, or is he acting now? Or both? OR was he super enthusiastic about the chance to "help the administration", somehow changed his mind along the way, and then went full 180 and started doing this scorched Earth twitter takedown?
I mean... it's possible. But just so odd., And yeah I know... Aspergers.
This breakup was inevitable. You don’t get two egos that big orbiting around one another without them inevitably clashingIn some ways we have two of the worlds most prolific trolls. In fact arguably #1 AND #2. And now they are facing off. And they are both unstable, megalomaniacs.
The stakes are so high... lol.
Nails it.No. I mean "target." Who is the mysterious scammer trying to scam?
lol
Musk didn't set out to trash his reputation. He's just too arrogant and dumb to realize that his political activities would ruin Tesla.
I'd add that Musk is basically accusing Trump of being a pedophile, and Trump is threatening to cut billions of SpaceX contracts. This is not just "trading barbs."
Musk controls the board and the company. He's not going anywhere. Nor is throwing a national multi-day temper tantrum, basically demanding more cuts to federal services, going to repair his reputation.
lol... Musk and Trump. Obviously.
Sadly, this also harms the nation as a whole, as its leadership looks like a clown show.
Or....
Musk is almost certainly now on the verge of losing billions in contracts, tens if not hundreds of billions in stock valuation, and getting extensively investigated by the DoJ, SEC, INS.... He's not going to benefit.
Dear Leader made an enemy of the wealthiest man in the world, who has an enormous megaphone, no filter, and is attacking Trump like a rabid weasel. He's a conspiracy theorist who knows what buttons to push. He could potentially kill the big tax bill, and fund primary challengers to pro-Trump Republicans. Trump is not going to benefit.
Let's get real: The whole "Trump is playing 11-dimensional chess!" is utter nonsense. Both of them are creatures of pure impulse, who routinely step on their own plans with their lack of impulse control. This is not some brilliant plan to make them both look like geniuses, it's a pair of toddlers fighting in the sandbox.
I have to wonder if you've ever heard of Ockham's Razor.
You also might want to read up on hubris.
I made no mention of any past posts. But it seems pretty clear to me that on some level, you just don't want to accept that the two most influential people right now in the MAGA movement are immature thin-skinned narcissists, with zero impulse control, that now hate each other, because they both want power and attention, and see the other one as in their way and/or having more than they do.
Yeah... and this narrative started well before today. The whole whisper down the lane "remember Elon is in a K hole most of the time". How did it start?Ketamine.
No kidding. And I think the thought this could go south crossed everyone's minds at some point early on...This breakup was inevitable. You don’t get two egos that big orbiting around one another without them inevitably clashing
Good grief man... could you either size those things reasonably, or at least put a trigger warning or something?LMAO!
I present a counter example:
This is supposed to make sense?
CBO scoring isn't dynamic nd doesnt account for revenue growth. The 45 tax cuts actually produced more revenue -spending is the problemNow there's a wining argument!
Let's keep tabs on Dem-Repub wins/losses, while the American Citizens, their children, and their grandchildren, sit on the sidelines - digging deeper in their pockets to pay for it all.
Yes, he would. JFK's tax plan cut rates across the board, which aligns with modern conservative economic principles favoring lower taxes to stimulate growth in the economy. JFK was also leery of government overreach. He emphasized individual responsibility. He was a free market capitalist. He supported traditional American family values, an embrace of one's personal faith as his was Roman Catholic. He would be anti-abortion.
I thought they were both fascists. Did you lose talking points memo?
Me too. Clinton was the last Dem I voted for as POTUSI was a Democrat at the time. I was a fan.
George W Bush was such a disaster I thought there would never be a worse president in my lifetime.Me too. Clinton was the last Dem I voted for as POTUS
Me too. Clinton was the last Dem I voted for as POTUS
Johnson is indefatigableGotta love how Johnson's probably freaking out.
LMAO!
I present a counter example:
It started with him publicly admitting he regularly used ketamine a few years ago.Yeah... and this narrative started well before today. The whole whisper down the lane "remember Elon is in a K hole most of the time". How did it start?
LOLIf you set this story in the right context it would make a fantastic fairy tale/fable.
Worry not, Musk is playing 5D chess against Donald's checkers game. Musk is already daring Trump to put up or TACO.
true. Dems have historic low poll numbers. But Dems dont hold any part of government controlNot shocking you would think that.
Even with this hot mess tens of millions would take what we have now over anything the batshit crazy Left thows out there.
He admitted it during an interview a while backHow did it start
Clinton was a fiscal conservative.
Agree with the above... but the last one is the point I am making... The whole "Elon is on drugs" thing had a major uptick RIGHT after he left. And that was sort of the catalyst.It started with him publicly admitting he regularly used ketamine a few years ago.
Smoking a joint while filming a Joe Rogan episode probably didn't help matters much.
Tripping in the Oval Office didn't help either.
Right. I think one obvious explanation is paving the way for the coming damage control.But yes, it is virtually certain that someone in the administration who despised Musk wanted to ruin his day, by leaking info about his drug habits.
I dunno... I think "The Emperor's New Clothes" is a fairly good one too.LOL
The only fairy tale this resembles is Humpty Dumpty.
