I think everyone on this forum saw Trump and Elon eventually fighting each other.

Both got big egos. And Trump has a history of falling out with the people in his circle.
Exactly. It was never a question of if the love affair would end, it was a question of when and how big of a fallout it would be. I had my month on three months in, surprised it almost reached the six months mark

It’s the difference between a villain and a supervillain.

Trump is a typical tax evading economic
crony. A crook, evil in some ways but is largely just motivated by capital.

Musk is a staying up late thinking about to destroy the world via economic and environmental terrorism kind of a villain. An evil that doesn’t need to be unleashed on the world at all.

They were never going to mix.

It’s basically the penguin and dr doom trying to find common ground.

True but from Trump’s POV, Elon is a socially awkward weirdo who becomes a liability the more he’s around. Trump recognized he would be useful to get him elected.

Do you think Trump cares about the ISS? He probably doesn't even know what it is. Elon is a huge welfare queen, those government contracts are necessary for the survival of his companies. Elon realizes he bet on the wrong horse, but only after it's kicked him in the teeth.
Elon is also the main contractor for building the Golden Dome Missile defense system as it requires complex rocket propulsion like what SpaceX has been working on so I think there’s a total net loss here.

imo the tech billionaire class are going to start up their own wing of a party.
They were just using Trump as an entry way

There was talk of that leading up to the election

Tbh they can kill two birds with one stone if that happens.

MAGA can point to a lot of these tech companies all being run by non-Americans.

Heck, a ton of them are being run by indians.

It would be fascinating to see if they'd ever try that.
