Her passion died as she lived, on X. “I love @realdonaldtrump as much as a hetero man can love another man”, Elon Musk poster In February, evoking the words of Napoleon to Joséphine after having made her alliance with the Tsar of Russia: “If Alexandre was a woman, I would make him my mistress.” Now musk uses x for call The Donald Trump budget bill is a “disgusting abomination” and smash On the well -known links of the president with the financier and child attacker Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Tesla's action value is Evannescing, the president threatens to cut the wellness payments of Musk, and Trump donors call for Musk's attention and possibly expelled. (As an ethical warfare of the Bluesky user put“If the wheels had come out of this thing faster, it would be a cybertruck.”) The whole situation, once again, echoed that of Napoleon after having broken with Alexandre I, invaded Russia, was inevitably defeated and posed Bitchy bullets on the island of Elba, where he experienced heavily with PhenceClidine and Bitchy about the Vienna Congress. The history book on the shelf is still repeated.
“I am very disappointed with Elon,” Trump told journalists on Thursday. “I helped Elon a lot. And perhaps there was a Magnanimity Trumpian to allow Musk to sink two hundred and fifty million dollars in the 2024 campaign, to demolish the careers and essential services at the request of the President through the Ministry of Efficiency of the Government, and to function as a sponge for a large part of the vitriolic public reaction to the war of the Trump administration against democracy and justice. Presumably, Musk expected a reimbursement of its loyalty in the form of favorable terms for the federal contracts of its companies and the Marketing event on the lawn of the White House. But Trump has been raiding entrepreneurs for decades, and his obsession for the perspective has been incompatible with the disturbing behavior of his assistant. On May 30, when sending Musk's Touchted in the Oval Office, he sported a mysterious eye with black butter and gave himself up to a very specific swinging style on his feet – while the jaw and the dissociation of the affect seemed less suitable for the current white house than a Slowdive concert around 1991. added A reassuring legend to these evilly convincing images: “It's good, he just has all your personal data.”)
During Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the spare of Trump-Musk took place by press conference, Truth Social and X (like @fred_decious observed“It's like Kendrick vs Drake but with two drakes”). Musk struck stronger but could not get a blow, largely because his objections to the president – that Trump is obsessed with prices which could be economically ruinous, that he advocates budgets that would make the deficit increase – throughout democracy long before Musk tells Joe Rogan that “if we do not elicate Trump, I think we will lose democracy in this country.” With the allegations of Epstein, Musk was tense for the buzzing suspense to wait for the Mueller report, or for Geraldo Rivera to open the Al Capone safe: “Time to drop the very large bomb: @realdonaldtrump is in Epstein files.” But the association of Trump and Epstein has been in the open air for almost a quarter of a century; Images of the era of the 90s of the horrible thing together in Mar-A-Lago, in Leering in a group of young cheerlers, has been circulating since At least 2019. (“The plan?” @Theemmamont joking poster To X above a job of Nathan Fielder, in his character “Nathan for You”, carrying a confident smile. “Spending millions to elect a pedophile, then tell everyone that he is a pedophile.”) Thursday, when a journalist asked Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary of the White House, on the allegations of Epstein, she rejected them as “an unhappy episode of Elon”.
Trump has kept the upper hand so far, partly because of the presidential pulpit, and in part because he has remained relatively discreet. He recognized On social truth, before leaving the administration, “Elon” wore thin “. “(A whiff of white phosphorus of the insult by the comic strip of American pre -eminent insult – The false restraint of quotes of quotes is perfect.)” The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate the subsidies and government contracts of Elon “, Trump wrote in another post. These views may well have bipartite support. In a recent big survey By the Atlasintel market research company, fifty-seven percent of respondents had an unfavorable vision of Musk.
Of course, if an eminent individual in government with conservative or even reactionary opinions indicates his dissatisfaction with Trump, it is a signal for the Democratic Party that the Center can hold, that a fanciful abundance of swing voters can still be convinced of the error of their ways. (This World Out Great When, for Example, Kamala Harris Gave Over Several Precious Days of Her Short Presidential Campaign to A Right-Wing Train Congresswoman.) Ro khanna representative, of California, Espying an Opportunity in the Trump-Musk Flicas, Urged Democrats to “Be in Dialogue” Lead Assassin of DOGE. (Like the cinematographic dialogue? Or as a kind of literary device?) The representative Ritchie Torres, from New York, declared, of Musk – who has disseminated theories of the anti -Semitic conspiracy and apparently Nazi greetings in public – “I believe in redemption, and he tells the truth about the legislation.”
At the same time, a democrat must not seem to be Also Captivated by a significant and consecutive public conflict between the two most powerful and destructive men in the country. Although AOC hinder“Girls are fighting, right?” And Chuck Schumer workshop A Taylor Swift joke, maybe the most state -less democratic response is simply ride your eyesLike Senator Chris Murphy, Connecticut, did Via X: “When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into a personal crisis, none of them will give themselves a shit on a Twitter fight made for the clicks between two billionaires, arguing that gets the largest share of corruption loots.” It is difficult to analyze the meaning of this declaration, since the two billionaires in question are those that plunge us into crisis.
As is generally the case, it was the forces on the right and reactionary in our politics who knew what they wanted with what they were looking at and how to put it in words. Before Thursday was released on Thursday, Steve Bannon urged Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act in order to “seize SpaceX tonight before midnight”. (“LOL The Socialist Revolution began”, David Dayen, the editor -in -chief of The American perspective announcement on x). Discuss the musk with the TimesBan said That the Trump administration “should initiate an official survey on its immigration status, because I am from the strong conviction that it is an illegal foreigner, and it should be expelled immediately from the country.” It is likely that nothing comes from these desires stated, but they have value to themselves to be clearly and with articulated force.
Trump and Musk can kiss and catch up at the end of the week – they can simply be “in a dialogue” of their usual stupid bullshit. (You, for his part, hopes to cure: “Broooos please noooooo 🫂”, he deplored On X after the fight has become public. “We love you so much.”) Or the Rift can persist: Friday morning, Trump told ABC News that, despite the information that he had a planned call with Musk, he was “not particularly” interested in speaking with “the man who lost his head”, and a White House official said that Trump intended to sell the Tesla red that he had recently bought. And yet, no matter how it happens, I understand exactly what these horrible people want, what they believe, which motivates them. I cannot say that for the other side, which only knows appeasement, rapprochement and disdain. All they can do is look.
They could at least try to offer better jokes. Or an oratory or a dialogue! Just a good writing, before only the robots do it. During the Napoleon Russian Russian campaign, while entering Moscow, the Russian army set fire to the city, which accelerated its defeat and fall. “Mountains of red and rolling flames,” recalls Napoleon, to see Moscow burn, “like huge waves of the sea. Oh, it was the biggest, the most sublime and the most terrifying that the world has ever seen.” ♦
