No. Trump will threaten NASAs contracts with SpaceX and musk will say "sorry daddy".
That's the neat part, NASA has already been severely cut by this bill.

No. He isn’t going to do shit unfortunately. Bannon, Carlson, Musk, MTG, they’re all full of shit. They never stray too far.
The difference is that Musk doesn’t depend on Trump to remain relevant (or solvent). All those others absolutely do: They were nothing before Trump, and nothing without him.
The fact that musk apologized within 48 hours of his outburst and has all but hidden away with his tail between his leg legs for the most part the last few weeks is all we need to know man. A few token lines about opposing this bill so he can look sensible to his cult followers who swear he’s not a Trump sycophant unfortunately doesn’t change that
Musk definitely depends on government contracts for his companies. If Trump cancels those all his companies will take a big hit which in turn will take a big chunk off his net worth which is propped by shares in those companies. If his net worth substantially goes down he may run into issues getting credit which will affect him directly. Elon Musk uses his stock to take loans to fund his personal expenses among other things.
He could always try living within his means, you know, like rich republicans always say poor people should do.
An explosion of dumpster fires.

If Elonazi actually manages to maintain the attention span to see this through over the next 1.5-2yrs, I'm all in and here for it... 
But, the reality side of me holds little to no hope this particular tantrum will last. Especially given Mafia Don Mangolini holds the checkbook for all Elonazi's gov't "income". 🤡 🖕 💩
I do not like that Elon Musk.
Never uttered a word I believe or trust.
He has fathered and fled more kids than Nick Cannon.
With a soul and heart more grotesque than Steve Bannon.
When he goes to jail the world will dance.
Until then we can smile as he pisses his pants.
Oh, you don't like Elon? I couldn't tell, @JailElonMusk. 😆

they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth
Win win.
I fucking hate this dude with all my heart but if he actually does it then I'll take a cautious "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" stance.
The enemy of my enemy who is also my enemy gets shot after one of them kills the other.

Democracy is when the richest man on Earth can help elect the politicians he likes.
"Look, democrats, I'm on your side again! Please buy my cars"
Elon's only concern is those government handouts his companies have been getting.
He doesn't care about the trillions in US debt, people losing health insurance or anything that doesn't affect him.

He's gonna be the first person denaturalized for his "nazi rhetoric" as a theatrical farce of normalizing deporting US citizens. It'll be in a "this is what u dem's asked for" way with tv propagandists showing hand selected tweets calling for musk's deportation from liberal pfp accounts.
I think it's all theater to win over all the rightwing folx that he cultivated during this tour. These are the folx that are gonna be hurt the most from this bill and are just ignorant enough to buy a Tesla out of some weird culty appreciation. Mans trying to salvage a lagging brand.
They’re fighting again? I thought they kissed and made up after musk told us that Trump…
After musk reaffirmed the facts we already know about trump raping little girls with Epstein?

I mean, go ahead Muskrat, but please also go the fuck away.
Ok so wtf?
“Why aren’t you as genocidal as my family!”
Next to….
“I’m trying to fuck my daughter as hard as I can!”
The rest of us….
Baby boy’s heart is still broken.
If I can't have him....
Primary with who? They're all MAGA.
I used to think that romance subplots in movies/tv shows are so ridiculous, then I see this divorce on the news. 🤣

Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? He threatens to 'primary' members of Congress?
I've tried searching, and that wasn't much help, employees of said member are to quickly start looking for another job. Something happens at the end of term.. And a Time magazine article, which was beyond useless in explaining what it is.
I'm none the wiser.. 🤷
Congress members in the US are elected in constituencies. For each constituency each party typically fields one candidate. Before the actual election, the parties hold primary elections to determine the candidate for the constituency for that particular party. Pretty much anyone can run in these primaries. Your chance of winning very much depends on the support, i.e. funding you have. If Elmo decides to fund candidates that would challenge the incumbents in the primaries, he could likely unseat quite a few of them on account of having a lot of money. And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.
And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.
Agreed, and it's worth noting the Republican party has done the same thing to candidates who weren't far enough to the right.

Thank you. Every time I think the US election system couldn't be any more open to corruption, I'm proven wrong. Learning something new every day.

One of the rare times Elon and I are on the same side
The Big Beautiful Bill bans all legislation that regulate AI and more importantly, bans Transgender Healthcare for all but the very rich.
Alright, time to start primarying if you're not totally full of shit, elon.
Is he going to invent something worse than MAGA? !
Yes, the X party, most likely 🙄
Looks like Musk has been hitting the Ketamine again. He's going to be wearing a diaper permanently if he keeps this up. Not that anyone cares about him I guess.
