Trump and Musk are certainly not holding back now that they hate each other. This is the richest person in the world vs the President of the USA. While I wish neither of them physical harm – I hope they destroy each other and take down all the idiots that prop them up.
Neither of them have been particularly witty in their put downs – this is no surprise because neither of them seem to be able to smile in a natural way. They’ve gone straight to the insults. So what do you think Trump should say about Musk and what should Musk say about Trump?
Here’s my attempt based on something someone said at work recently. “He’s a really nice guy…until you get to know him!”.
This was always going to happen. The really surprising thing is that it’s taken this long to occur. The Vermillion Villain does have a propensity to blow hot and cold however so who knows by tea time they may be all lovey-dovey once more. I try to avoid as much of this crap as possible tbh otherwise I feel doomed to live in a necessary state of nauseous incredulity.
“The Vermillion Villain”! *Blows a chef’s kiss and doffs hat*
These two guys are both actually insane, there is no other explanation. I think they are both hyped up by social media and the smell of their own farts. I had a boss who was always pointing to Elon as an example of what tech people should do, and I am proud to say I always contradicted him. I cannot understand what people see in him.
Trump will probably say something like ‘His numbers are very very bad and his rockets were failing until I came along’
One is a splendid example of the Dunning Kruger effect and the other is someone who shows all the symptoms of mind altering ingestions.
They are beyond PR help.
You don’t wish physical harm on Trump? I do
I think you could now go to prison for writing that.
Remember to log out of this site next time you cross the border.
I wish him health, long life and a sudden bout of self-awareness so that he might spend some years with the realisation of just how nasty, ill-informed and willfully ignorant he really was. Maybe while incarcerated at the same time.
Oh just a black eye or a bloody nose or something
It’s the clash of the egos, it’s the swinging of the big dicks, it’s the cock of the class against the school bully, it’s pathetic.
As @pencilsqueezer has said it was always going to happen, I read an article about a week into trump’s presidency that they wouldn’t last long in a relationship and lo it has come to pass.
I believe Elon’s father has suggested that the whole bust-up is fake?
I can’t find an original source, so maybe the “fake” comment is fake.
The caffeine/ketamine-fuelled tone of the exchanges are almost comic in their camp outrage and bitchiness. And now I see EM is “rowing back”. No wonder, those k-comedowns must be brutal, no matter how frequent a user you are.
I’ve seen similar suggestions, but mostly from the MAGA camp as a way of own the narrative. It seems unlikely given Musk referenced Trump and Epstein. Trump is notoriously gossamer thin skinned so it seems a stretch he would have agreed to any form of criticism.
Musk seems to be rowing back and has agreed to a call with the White House (but not Trump) so I’m sure some sort of peace will break out before the end of the day. Still, did have to laugh when Musk’s ex Ashley St Clair offered Trump “breakup advice”
Arf!
The big question in break ups like this is who gets the kids (or in the case of EM’s offspring, the scrabble hand).
I’ve heard it said that Boris Johnson has put in a bid
Now that they’ve turned into polar opposites, like matter meeting anti-matter, hopefully they will obliterate each other in a puff of orange smoke.
Zelenskyy has offered to mediate between them to prevent further escalation …
Tell him to get suited up, he’s going in!
I’ve been doing the Nelson Munce laugh constantly since this was first reported.
Let’s hope if nothing else it causes irreparable damage to their finances and reputations. I suspect it won’t. The news cycle moves too quickly now. Some one else will shit the bed, news-wise, in the next hour or so won’t they?
Trump does look awful now though. He is aging like Ursula Andress at the end of ‘She’, I think. God, the state of him when making his remarks about Musk in the Oval Office. Eyes like two rotten eggs in a blancmange. And hair like spun sugar. I do wonder if any of the goons around him are paid to keep him away from any static electricity. The slightest charge from a nylon carpet and his hair will go all Ken Dodd. What a beautiful day, Missus.
@Beezer
Brings a whole new meaning to the word “marmalized”
@jaygee
Quite. They’ll both be ‘Dicky Mint’ after all this I fervently hope.
Note to self. It’s Muntz.
Munce. Sheesh…
For a man in charge of a nuclear arsenal, Trump is ridiculously thin-skinned, quick-tempered, and mercurial. Surely some in his cabinet, or some of his billionaire backers, must have discussed the idea that it’s high time he was told to go. If not, why not? Do they think his behaviour is going to improve?
His backers will remain content if he keeps spooning them tax breaks and less regulation. Replacing him would allow Vance in and no-one wants that.
Trump’s juvenile rhetoric is nothing more than that of a playground bully. Lot’s of big talk but even he can see that any form of armed conflict with a nation as resolute (and well armed) as Canada would be a total lose lose, and he’s long been a coward of the first order. But if I were in Greenland, I’d remain nervous.
They should invite me over. I would get this dispute sorted within 24 hours, if not sooner.
