I am curious to see if there will be attempts to fix the relationship between them -
apparently Putin says he can do it in 24 hours.

Properly laughed at that 🤣

Putin could offer Musk residency. Solve a couple of problems in one go.
The residency will no doubt still be needing windows fitted...
Serves good tea though from what I have heard. You dont even need a insulated cup to keep it warm if you are a slow drinker.
Always amusing when the rich and powerful have to climb down and admit they shouldn't have said what they did - obviously not thinking through the potential consequences!

I'm under no illusion this isn't just to try and get back in the good books...
Has he apologised to Steve Miller as well?

Not so amusing when it is one utterly horrible prick having to apologise to another, though.
Apology is only because self-serving prick realised it’s in his best interests.
None of us will get an apology for him trashing pensions and investments.
I’m really annoyed the Toddler spat didn’t last much longer than a weekend. Orange toddler now officially boss of the preschool.
dumb & dumber are at it again

musk threatening to pour $$ into fighting republicans who vote for trumps bill
trump at historically low approval ratings means maga could be very vulnerable to musks America Party, but neither support the spending on welfare and Medicaid that the left behind who voted for Trump wanted and are instead going to see huge cuts as trumps bill shafts them.
"Maybe someday you have hydro-ge-ge, a hydro-gn-gn car"
I think you've flooded it mate
Well the master of hoovering up government subsidies has been at it again. The Tesla charger I'm using has " Co-funded by the European Union" on it". Still, it's there, it works, it's not more expensive than petrol like the Total Energy ones opposite, so I'm using it. 😋
I'd hope this is the move that splits the MAGA excesses from the Republicans, and divides that vote to get the Democrats back in.
Unless they follow the UK model, and both main parties move right to compete.
Wonder if Elon will go into coalition with Jeremy and Zarah?

Unfortunately, assuming this even goes anywhere further than a tweet, it's just as likely to take Democrat votes from the middle (and Democrats are far more dependent on that type of voter these days than the Republicans are).
I can't imagine any sort of Democrat floating voters thinking Musks party would be even better than the Republicans.
only polling so far has likely or very likely votes to Musks party as
20% for Dems
50% Reps
42% Indies
on those numbers Trump would have lost the last election had musk ran & gifted it to Harris
Musk is going to be found to have had an accidental Ketamine overdose or possibly a plane crash Prigorzhin style

Neither would elicit more than a shrug from me, TBH.

I suspect Trump is more likely to suffer that than Musk.
I wonder what the end-game here is for Musk. Is it just a threat? Is he trying to be a kingmaker (again)? He can't be president, so even him leading the party means he can't take office and, if I understand it correctly, Trump could probably cancel his citizenship and deport him if he so wished. I'm not even sure that anyone would really care about that.
That makes me think is ois either grift (a la Farage) or a threat.
Its far too easy to think that Musk is a 4d chess playing genius, when a simpler and more likely explanation is that he's high AF, just tweeting nonsense , desperate to get kudos from the online cryptobro community

Exactly.

Despite the way Trump acts, he's not king. Who gets elected to the houses still matters... it only seems otherwise now as he has so many people prepared to support him there (some because they agree with him, others because they fear him). A new party, or just as likely a new campaigning group seeking to influence who gets to stand and win as a Republican, could change the balance of power after elections to the houses if it could take control of some keys seats.
In reality its going to do very little, probably nothing, even if it comes to pass. It's just a way to take a dig at Trump, who is clearly rattled.
I very much doubt Musk is doing any strategic thinking here. Its just his ego shouting. Its a clash of two psychopaths
hes still going

Yup.
The idea of a new American party is sound on paper to be fair.
The problem is if it's headed up by Musk.. I mean.. For real? Lol!
The guy was sucking on the teat of trump when it suited him to guarantee rediculous tax breaks and vast government funding for Tesla and space-X
As if that wasn't enough to destroy his credibility, when they fell out the first time he mentioned 'something' about the fabled 'Epstein client list' hint hint.
OK... Mr musk... So your happy to take public money from a pedophile... Right. Understood.
But now he's cut you off from the public purse... Only 'now' is Trump a 'wrong Un'?
Okie dokie.
I mean... What the chuff? Lol.
Musk has zero credibility.
That said, the voting public both here and in the USA have a good track record of voting against their own interests, so it might be a roaring success?
Musk has zero credibility.
The notion that credibility is important in US politics is quaint.
If it was, why is a multi business failure bankrupt sex offender in the White House?
Credibility? Nah the average American voter just wants to be entertained and have their prejudices played back to them as fact. Something social media is perfect for.
I think Musk has a point about Epstein, the whole thing stinks of a coverup.
If I was to pop on my tin foil hat and do a little speculating I'd say that there are a lot of powerful people implicated, politicians, CEOs, royalty. If it came to light the whole house of cards would crumble so they have no choice but to try and brush it under the carpet and hope it goes away.
Genius or not, Musk is a highly strategic thinker with a huge appetite for risk vs reward. He laid waste to two/three established industries and all of the players then present within them. IF he could keep his ego in check, he’d really be a force to be reckoned with.
I think Musk has a point about Epstein, the whole thing stinks of a coverup.
Well yes. Its been known for years that Trump was associated with Epstein. He is on record as saying "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side". Not original sourcebut several others use the same quote.
Which begs the question exactly why did Musk support him given this was common knowledge about anyone who could be arsed to be moderately well informed?
Although of course Musk is on shaky ground given his links with PDiddy/Sean Combs.

The obvious problem is Musk is ineligible to be president so who will he choose to be his puppet?

Trumps problem is that he was happy to embrace all the conspiracy bollox & the qanon loons when getting in to power, but now he looks complicit by not revealing this all encompaing conspiracy....
the likes of his own attorney general were happy to brag about the list just a few months ago, but noe it doesn't exist, the problem is that all of his inner circle are massive liars anyway
it was always obvious that if anyone was going to be on a list it was going to be trump himself,.
i wonder where the crazies will go with this now?
im sure musk will happily fan the flames
And you can bet a shiny new tesla that Musk himself has plenty of skeletons on his closest, the stories will come out eventually
and ultimately if musk knew trump was a paedo all along why is he only upset now!

At this point, as long as he keeps SCOTUS in his back pocket, then the only fear he has from the Legislative branch is if Democrats win a 2/3rds majority in the Senate so that they can impeach him. Otherwise he can mostly just ignore them and continue funding and strengthening ICE to become his brown shirts and gutting US military senior leadership that aren't overtly loyal to him, at that point even impeachment probably wouldn't matter.

You think?
Wait until you find out about what bears get up to in wooded areas...

Oh dear, Whoever could have seen this coming.

Ahahahahahahahahaha *takes breath* hahahahahahaha.
I can also see that 8% has been wiped off the Tesla share price. Turns out that being a hard-right antisemitic racist nutjob has a negative effect on how the rest of the world views you. Who'd have thunk it?
why is he only upset now!
He's not upset – it's just political posturing.
He's not upset – it's just political posturing.
It's very modern posturing too. No attempt at an argument. Even truth doesn't seem to matter. You just pick the worst insult you can think to throw at your opponent and then just relentlessly hammer that message through tweets/posts/memes etc. For Trump it's always that his opponent is a "loser" (not as mentally or physically strong as he is) because that's what matters to him. For Musk the default insult has always been "paedo" (remember the cave guy).
It's fun at the moment because two guys we hate are going at each other, but the method (and the fact that it is effective) is still depressing.
