    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.

        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.

            Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.

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

          Mr Vice President, what’s it like going from Putin’s bitch to Elon’s bitch?

      It’s lucky that Elon is the president and not Trump.

      I think it was an YUGE step for Trump to admit he can’t do the job on his own. And, to let Rupert Murdoch and Vladmir make him let Elon have control could not have been easy. So kudos Don, for admitting you’re just not smart enough and needed help.

    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.

        His origin story is that he bullied a kid so much for dead parents in his school that the kid eventually pushed Elon down the stairs and he swore to never be able to be picked on again.

        He’s always been a villain he was just charismatic enough and pretended to be the good guy until the mask broke and he went full villain to try and put the mask back up.

        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.

    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.”

    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.

      And Musk os too stupid to realize that Trump cares about the image of holding piwer, not about the power itself. He’s very easy to control from the shadows, but Elon can’t keep his face out of the public eye.

    Is there any way we can encourage this civil war between Trump and Musk

    Wait, Trump means “Fart” in British slang

    and Musk is how animals smell each other and stuff…

    They’re both smelly!

      Just keep pointing out the reality, that President Musk is really running the show, while puppet dumpy takes orders.

      It’s not new. Take a look at all the billionaires telling him what to do. He’s not in charge.

    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.
