i like how his 'flex' indicates that he knew and supported him anyways.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 12 points 3 weeks ago

I know he's evil because we fucked the same child. Slam dunk

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 76 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Did he learn that before or after he spent $250 million dollars to get him elected and acted like he was best buddies with him until very recently?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 41 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (8 children)

He's just trying to cover his arse and recover what's left of his shattered reputation. Can't we just fucking universally shun this shit-head now? Keep reporting on his many transgressions, but stop giving the worthless cunt air-time and interviews.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

We can't because he bought one of the largest megaphones in existence. I hope the two tear each other apart

Nope. We don't hear about Musk's twitter crap from reading twitter, we hear about it only because the news media shoves it in people's faces. The news media is handing Musk his megaphone.

I hope the two tear each other apart

Yep I loathe narcistic billionaires and pay as little attention to them as possible. But when 2 of them go after each other, I do enjoy watching that.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We can all choose not to listen.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Hard not to listen when he’s everywhere we fucking look.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's not like people who post it on Lemmy could just ..not post it

We also should keep assuming he's lying. The two of them would happily fight in public and keep chatting on the phone or by email to cut back door deals for each other, if they thought it would relieve political pressure.

Remember, all they do is lie, all of every day, it's just that you don't always know about what or why. Everything in their lives is a con.

spent $250 million dollars to get him elected

Please stop spreading misinformation, Elon spent $44 billion (yes with a b) getting him elected.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

There's been pictures of trump hanging out with Epstein for a long time. There also the numerous allegations of sexual assault as well as being found liable. Backstage at pageant shows, etc.Trump is and has been a creep for a long ass time.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

He got to disrupt critical government agencies, destroy the evidence against him, and got to boss the president around for a few months... seems like a pretty good deal. Just putin's wallet is much deeper.

Our comments went in the same direction.

Hey if anybody has Twitter, tell Elon that I hate him and love Trump, but if he drops a bunch of hard evidence I will love him and hate Trump instead.

Also, if anyone has Truth Social, tell Trump that Elon said Trump's hands are way too small to release any dirt the government has on him.

Editor's Note: In fact, shit will not get real.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh, is this the editor's desk? I have some feedback about last week's Wordle.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 4 points 3 weeks ago

Don't we all bitch, I mean mitch.

If nothing else this ought to keep Donny up raging all night for a while and this distracted from wrecking other things.

Of course there's also the possibility that the files get 'lost' and somehow it all get's forgotten as soon as the next shiny thing wafts by.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly I think anything is possible right now. Trump is a sundowner, and, well, checks watch

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Listen, it’s been a rough couple months in America. And we’re still kinda fucked, but this is really funny to watch. I think that’s how me make it through is finding moments like this to laugh at. They’re literally two toddlers who own their own social media companies posting about how they hate each other.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I like to think somewhere someone made a bet with a bookie on how long it'd take for this breakup to happen, and someone somewhere is cashing in.

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing is getting real. These clowns seems to be above the law.. there has been so many " getting real" moments already and ..it's all theater.. focus on the real needs..not the anufactuted theater

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 20 points 3 weeks ago

Does that mean he knowingly brought his ~~meatshield~~ son to meet the pedo taco? I'm so shocked!

[–] Balaquina@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, we all know it, but with Elon saying it, shit is indeed about to get real...

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago

I admire your optimism.

The only post I want to see is the actual files. Saying random shit on twitter is about as meaning full as saying random shit in truth social.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 12 points 3 weeks ago

These knives look to be getting mighty long.

[–] jamescrakemerani@feddit.uk 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Since Trump literally said himself that he could shoot someone, and not lose any voters, I really doubt this will damage him significantly.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 12 points 3 weeks ago

Oh shit they are about to have sex!

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

And a week from now they'll be buddies and fox news will say "liberals love to take words out of Elon musk's mouth"

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly this. One is an idiot, the other an idiot on drugs. All of this is a waste of time.

I'm so excited for this catastrophe. :)

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Real fucking messy for the rest of us.

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago

They could release it all now and it wouldn't matter. His supporters do not care. That has been made crystal clear at this point.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

I’m so shocked. Look at how shocked I am: 😐

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

"Suprised that biden didnt do it"

So... why did you put musk in charge of government efficiency?... did... glorious leader make a mistake? Nah impossible, its clearly a 5d chess move.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Musk is just the latest of dozens of people that Trump hired who ended up denouncing Trump later.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's that really how a First Buddy should act, Elon?

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

You are a PoS. You will be known forever as being a waste of oxygen.

Still think this is all hilarious though. Release the info if true, muskrat! Before Diaper Don has you arrested for... blah blah whatever stupid reason he makes up.

Do it, coward! DO IT!

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Next Elon needs to show the receipts for election fraud.

[–] dangling_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day lol. Yes, we subsidize way too much on Tesla and SpaceX.
