Since Musk (Elmo) left the government he has been taking pot shots at Donny and now Donny has made his all telling statement about Elmo….Donny threatens to turn DOGE onto Elmo….
The Elon Musk-President Trump feud appears to be back on. After Musk lashed out at Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill’ on Monday, threatening to form a new political party if it passed, Trump fired back with a post on Truth Social early Tuesday. He suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency, formerly led by Musk, should take a look at the subsidies the billionaire’s company receives, reports Reuters.
- “Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate,” Trump wrote. “It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!”
- In a post on X, Musk replied, I am literally saying CUT IT ALL. Now.” In earlier posts, he called the spending and tax cuts bill “insane” and said lawmakers who “campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history” will “lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.”
- When Trump and Musk clashed over the bill in early June, Trump said the easiest way for the government to save money would be to “terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.” Musk countered that while it was “very unfair” for the bill to cut EV and solar incentives without touching oil and gas subsidies, he was was more upset about the bill’s “MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK.
I love it when the pricks turn on one another…..
I await the further developments….this could be the story of the years so far….at least it has the makings of a good slap fight.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
This matter should have been kept very very quiet and secretive from my republican point of view. I can hear Chuck and Hakeem echoing “Trump has the country in complete chaos”. They didn’t think it was chaos with millions of unvetted people invaded the country or when we had no actual president for four years.
Carl neither of these two can keep their mouths shut….and it gives ammo to their opponents….the more they bicker the more they become the story….it was not an invasion that is just a fear monger meme…..chuq
Nothing better than seeing two real nasties turn on each other and start tearing things up. Hopefully Musk will reveal more secrets, before Trump deports him to SA. 😊 Best wishes, Pete.
A nerd slap fight…..and lots of talking…..chuq
