In a Christmas message to his followers Monday, former President Donald Trump said he hopes supporters of “Electric Car Lunacy” would “ROT IN HELL.”

Trump’s Monday afternoon Truth Social post continued a theme he had been developing with several other posts since Christmas Eve, attacking Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two criminal cases against him.

The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party nomination added a missive against “THUGS,” which he said were more “evil” and “sick” than all world leaders. In the grammatically confusing post, Trump also appeared to attack Israel, which Trump lumped in with Iran, as well as both Russia and Ukraine.

    Elon’s response will surely be measured and professional.

      I cannot stand either one of these assholes, I also cannot wait to see how this plays out, does Elon kiss the ring or risk losing what has to be an extremely significant chunk of his fans. This must be what Ken Watanabe felt like in Godzilla

          If it was anyone else we’d think it was parody but Trump really says these things

        It’s his way of garnering media engagement. The orange mobster throws whatever on the wall, including ketchup, to see what sticks. With the cult, everything sticks. Space laser lady, Jim Jordan and Mike Moses do it as well.

      I think you’re misreading the dynamics. Elon will absolutely not stand up to trump. He’s a right-wing chud now, he needs Trump’s base who love that he’s sticking it to the woke libs because no one other than them like him anymore. He will ignore this.

        Ignoring it would be the most reasonable and professional thing to do. So, if it was anyone else, Elron would start slamming them and their businesses, but for Trumpy he probably doesn’t think he should say anything bad about him, since then Trump would be out to get him for the rest of his life.

      Elon and Trump are like Bevis and Butthead

      It’s been 2 days and not a peep out of Elon.

      Musk would have had a diatribe out in seconds if Biden had said it.

      What a dilemma, does Elon lick Trump’s boots or does he defend the industry he paid his way into?
