The Chattersphere is debating who will be the winner of the Trump-Musk bout.

Are you kidding me? TRUMP! Trump has the power to 1) deport 2) investigate (Bannon already calling for it) 3) bankrupt Musk. What does Trump have to lose? Nothing! He's in his last term. He has evaded prison in four separate criminal investigations. Now he has immunity. He can do with Musk as his mood directs.

Musk PERSONALLY lost $20B TODAY! My (second ex-) wife has said for eight years, "touch Trump and you die." He's the third rail. Switching metaphors, the closer you get the stronger the gravity of the Trump black hole. There is a point of no return. Nothing escapes it. Musk is back from the event horizon but he is still in the helpless debris field swirling around it.

This is beautiful. I wish I could write this cleverly. Arwa Mahdawi, The Guardian:

"If you paid attention during physics class you will remember the third law of ego-dynamics."

It's embarrassing. The guy just had a very friendly send off in the Oval Office. Now, he's calling for Trump's IMPEACHMENT. 

Musk slamming Trump for "ingratitude" over the 2024 election, agreeing with a call for his impeachment...

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate."

"Such ingratitude,"

Later, he reposted a comment calling for Trump's impeachment to be replaced by Vice President JD Vance. "Yes," Musk wrote in response to the idea.

Tesla Loses $152B in Trump-Skum Pissing Match

$152B here, $152B there, pretty soon your're talking real money!

"Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump spoke from the Oval Office earlier Thursday and said Musk was upset that EV credits were not included in the bill.

"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. "I was surprised."

"Whatever," Musk fired back as the president spoke.

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," he posted on X.

What is not real is MAGA world. Nothing either said above is true. I have no desire to, and never will, understand MAGA world. They're not worth it.
