    Basically: Trump and Musk had a fight. And since they’re both terminally online, one of them would eventually spill the beans on shit online. It was Musk, on Xitter. And it includes spicy things like:

    • Musk saying Trump didn’t release the Epstein files because Trump is in them
    • Calling for Trump’s impeachment and replacement with Vance.
    • Musk: “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination”

    UOL and CNN Brasil have some info on that.

      blah blah. Musk is a sore loser who hates that he can’t be a big man anymore. Should’ve thought things through before he helped kill the best system capitalists ever had. Now he has no real recourse because only one office holds any power.

        Should’ve thought things through before

        That’s 99% of the right, with an error margin of 1%. They never think anything through.

        I’m amused at the whole situation though, I want Trump and Musk to fight like two rabid dogs. If one of them gets rid of the other, humankind becomes a better place.

          Unfortunately, I worry if Elmo gets rid of Trump we aren’t in a better place with a president Vance.

          This isn’t Hanlon’s razor here. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they’ve absolutely thought this through. While 47 might be a petulant manchild, the people he’s surrounded himself with are as dangerous as anyone.

        This is just my guess but I believe so.

        It’s clear that both Musk and Trump care more about their own egos than anything else, and this ruckus made of them a laughing stock - and they’ll likely blame it on each other. So Trump might implement policies in USA just to piss off Musk, and Musk might make public a lot of the shit Trump hid under the rug.

        This will also have some impact in the next elections here in Brazil. I think the right will be less eager to create huge “acordões”, fearing they might turn out as in USA.
