Trump isn't going to let anyone, regardless of bank, out Big Swinging Dick him. 

Now, does he maybe put Leon in check, make him grovel and "forgive" him behind closed door after publicly shitting in his Wheaties, maybe. But can Leon's fragile ass ego handle being dick slapped by Trump publicly then giving him the keys to his Lamborghini  so Trump can fuck his woman in it.. Leon strikes me a pretty big cuck, so maybe.

You can say that again.

But I think you're wrong.  Trump is not a strategic thinker.  His ego will simply not allow the appearance that Musk is the one making decisions.

 

Somebody over there is a strategic thinker. He negotiated the Afghan pull out to happen after the next president might be inaugurated after allowing 5000 Taliban fighters out. And you know he would have reneged on it had he won in 2020. And he also negotiated with the Saudis to cut oil production. Which predictably kicked off global inflation. I'm not sure how he would have necessarily gotten out of that one, but someone may have been able to see the writing on the wall with the president doing poorly in reaction to a global pandemic.

Ya know, between musk and theil, maybe we shouldn't let South African mining heirs (musk with the emerald mine, theil with the uranium mine) dictate our domestic policy. I don't think we're gonna like their ideas, considering they've been working to re-instate the hierarchy in the US that caused SA to crumble

Allowing Tesla to do whatever it wants in Austin will be made a condition of Austin retaining its municipal status. The governor will make that clear to city leadership. “Allow whatever Elon wants, and we won’t turn Austin into a ‘state district.’” Mark my words.

Thing I love most about you is your unrelenting optimism and hope. 

I'm forever grateful for your positive energy and the ability to keep a pragmatic view of reality with amazing objectivity.

It's endearing and refreshing.

So thanks amigo!

Richest man in the world is infinitely more powerful than elected president. People complain that politicians are bought and paid for, who don’t think is doing that? Elon is just more public with his influence. His wealth comes largely from government contracts for crying out loud. Donal is insulated from criticisms and is too stupid to understand them anyway. He’s also by far the bigger cuck especially since his entire ego is built on being wealthy when he isn’t really that wealthy at all, he’ll let Elon blow a load on his hairpiece on live tv if he asked.

Trump cares about two things and there is a huge variance between the two in importance.

1) His Legacy

This is more important to Trump than even money. This is what matters most. How his legacy is perceived, not just right now, but in his own "future world" mind. That's #1 for Trump and it's not close. If it was money first, he would have never gotten into the political game nor TV. 

2) Money Now, don't get it wrong this is critical, but pales in comparison to what he perceives as his legacy. Nobody, no matter how rich is going to tarnish the perception of #1 no matter how much it brings to Trump's coffers. 

Anyone that can not see how critical his Legacy is to Trump at this point hasn't been paying attention. Nobody is going to take away from that perception. Egomaniac out front should have told you.

For the record, neither of these is good. Being wrong or right either way isn't good for us. I just know Trump cares most about the history written about him. Being a billionaire isn't chump change either. So no, Trump isn't letting anyone, billionaire or not, tarnish his self perceived Legacy. He'd rather fight them and force them to bow then take their money, no ask for it. Based on past events, Leon will do anything to feel important. Feel, not be. Trump knows a fucking mark when he sees one. Leon is a mark and needs Trump more than Trump needs Leon. Even if it weren't true, "Fuck you Leon, bitch boi nerd, I'm the king and you're my bitch."

Yeah, people seem to forget that Leon is constantly seeking validation from the incels on Twitter.  The most divorced dad in America.

tesla sales in europe are down 13.7% YoY, while EV sales are slightly up overall, leading to this result:

In a surprising turn of events, the Dacia Sandero, a budget-friendly internal combustion engine hatchback, is about to become Europe's best-selling vehicle of 2024. This victory comes at the expense of Tesla, which dominated the European market in 2023.

Yeah, I don't agree with this. Donald is all about his image and perception. He wants to be seen as a great man/leader/president/etc. He doesn't know how to do it, but that's what he wants.

More of this. This is what drives DJT. And this is where Elon is a thorn in his side - he steals his thunder and that is something DJT won't suffer. If Elon is seen as pulling the strings, Trump will eject him faster than you can jump up and "make" and X logo.

This is where men like Thiel and guys that really know how to stroke Trump's ego will control the situation - they will truly whisper all this shit in Donald's ear and poison their relationship.

Elon feeds anti-immigrant rage. Elon endorses new Nazi party AfD as “Europe’s only hope.”
Hours later, enraged AfD sympathizer launches terror attack at Christmas market, killing 5, injuring 200.
Elon is a stochastic terrorist, openly and proudly evil, and the most dangerous man on the planet. If you stand with him in any way, you stand with stochastic terrorism and open naziism.

Yeah…that’s not gonna happen. Musk is too powerful, and Trump knows it. Trump depends on Musk and his economic paper, as well as his near-total control of information (money is all that matters). Trump has a billion dollars. Musk has hundreds of billions.
Everything they the right supposedly worried about re (((Soros))) has come to pass, with their gleeful assistance.
We are a full-on oligarchy now, and there is no going back that doesn’t involve total collapse and massive bloodshed.
Remember…it only gets worse, and there is no bottom.

While I have no cogent argument to counter this real politic response, we have Trump at the wheel here.  Like seeing Dale Brown on the other side of the court….

Yep, and the memes are increasing in numbers and making the rounds and leaking into the mainstream media, which Trump will definitely see. And somebody who is close to him will show him the memes, to drive a wedge between him and Musk, if he’s not seeing them himself on social media.

Trump’s extremely sensitive about being seen as being his own man - he’s never liked people bringing up what he inherited because it comes across as he hasn’t earned or done anything, and that everything is due to Fred Trump and not him.

Musk is too fucking tone deaf to realize when he goes too far.  He’s pissing off people with the shutdown talk and with blowing up the budget talks.  He can blame it on his self-diagnosed autism, but he’s going to be shocked when it  happens and he’s not able to sit in on any meetings. Thiel knew what he was doing getting Vance into the WH.

I will be surprised if Musk still has access to the WH come February or March.

I'm not sure it's his legacy he cares about so much as his current, living ability to maintain his inflated self-image, of which wealth is a part, but only a subsidiary one.  But it's the same result, either way.

I’m guessing ad revenue is down if they are ditching ads for the top tier and bumping the price $6.  More Grok limits probably has little impact on expenses, since most people get bored with it and are there for ad-free.  Priority support probably won’t be worth it, since it’s not exactly a complex piece of software for most use cases and the premium people probably know Twitter fairly well and don’t need help.  Radar is just another means of tracking trending stuff.

Sir if you’re trying to tell me that an Afrikaner supports racist politicians, well, I’m just going to have to believe you. 
 

If the United States wants to ban anyone then start with white South Africans. They are lucky Nelson Mandela was a man of peace who attempted to bro g unity to South Africa even though he would’ve been well within his rights to exile every single Afrikaner. Had that been a madman like Idi Amin he’d have murdered every single white person in the country.

When the archeologists reassemble the rubble of this era, the theme will be something along the lines of "peak narcissism and hubris."  It's breathtaking to watch.  The fucking density of the narcissism and egos involved is truly astounding, on a historical scale.

And there is a line of people who just can't get enough of slobbering all over narcissist cock, which is perhaps the weakest thing a human can do.  Just pathetic.

Trump probably makes fun of him.

It's not difficult for a halfway competent publicist to selectively lift facts from Elon Musk's CV and get you to believe he's the most interesting man in the world.

But he's impossible to spend any amount of time with because he's that much of a blowhard (and his on-paper "accomplishments" are not rightfully his accomplishments).

As we learned hundreds of pages ago, he's a fraud.

But he's also a piece of shit. So the only way anyone would spend time with him is if they're getting paid, or if they think it will pay off somehow.
