    Reporters need to start asking trump how he likes working with such a wealthy person as Musk…

    Their egos are too big to coexist

      They should ask Trump if, while hanging around Musk, Trump has now seen how rich people live.

        First Lady Trump*

        Let him think the public (rightfully) sees him as Elon’s bitch.

          Nah, demeaning to women, and I’m not even the type to say that for a lot of things.

          Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.

            Now, now. We don’t need to. Trump’s already volunteered for the position.

    Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk’s opinion will influence Trump’s actions.

    8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.

      Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.

        I can’t even be excited for the awesome things some of his compaines are doing. The engineers ar Space X are doing amazing work but all I think about when I see it is Musk.

    What Trump is too stupid to realize is that this is Musk’s presidency. Trump has always been a puppet to money and Elon can just buy him off, like he bought his way into Tesla.

    This has been obvious from day 1 of the Trump and Musk show. Trump is an ego maniac and does not like other people taking the lime light.

    Trump is predictable in that sense but then highly unpredictable as he turns to his next round of courtiers and sycophants.

    Nothing in this article supports the headline directly. The last paragraph is.
    “There’s no telling just yet how much of a rift this has caused between the two men, as Musk seems to be a long-term fixture in Trump’s inner circle. But if this kind of public one-upping continues, who knows how long this bromance will last.”

    We need people at every Trump event holding up giant signs that say “We ❤️ President Musk!” Line the streets leading to Mar-a-Lago with these signs!

    Then rinse and repeat for every other shitheel that’s aligned with the Orange One.
