Calling the MAGA tax cut and spend on billionaires bill. . . a "disgusting abomination" -- it seems Elon actually believed his $320 million bought HIM the de-facto preznit. As with everything Trump, the welsher is going back on his (apparent) word. Actually, both of them are / have:
. . .Elon Musk blasted President Donald Trump’s“big, beautiful bill” of tax breaks and spending cuts as a “disgusting abomination” on Tuesday, testing the limits of his political influence as he targeted the centerpiece of Republicans’ legislative agenda.
The broadside, which Musk issued on his social media platform X, came just days after the president gave him a celebratory Oval Office farewell that marked the end of his work for the administration, where he spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk posted on X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it. . . .”
I'll admit that I for one am highly entertained -- but only because Elon is smart enough to do this as a conscious threat, to the Senate GOP (his PACs will pull their GOP donation schedules), to force the changes Elon wants. . . on through. And that too is trivial, because the rest of Trump's West Wing is so deeply dysfunctional, and consumed with infighting. . . that nothin' is really gonna' get done -- at all.
But it doubtless belittles Tangerine 2.0 -- without a any doubt at all.
And we know tomorrow's Truth Social platform blasts will be aimed at Elon -- to a certainty. Trump hates being embarrassed before the world -- even when it is what he so richly deserves.
And. I. Am. Here. For. It. All. Woot!

File this under. . . "when felony convict Lev Parnas turns on you" -- watch out!
...The former Giuliani associate is a Ukrainian American businessman who was convicted in 2021 of fraud and campaign finance crimes. He was then sentenced to 20 months in prison.
"I've seen how this works from the inside," Parnas wrote. "When loyalty turns to silence, and silence turns to defiance — it's over. The myth of Trump's control starts to collapse."
"But Elon is just the loudest crack. The truth is, Trump's empire is fracturing on every front," he added....
Parnas went on to note that policy decisions, such as tariffs, praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the acceptance of a Qatari airliner, are also causing cracks in Trump's world.
"And I'm telling you now: the very foundation of Trump's power — fear and obedience — is crumbling," Parnas wrote. "Elon might be the first to break publicly, but he won't be the last. There are lawmakers. There are donors. There are insiders. I promise you, they are rattled. And some of them are looking for a way out...."

Hilarious!
Gosh. . . I sure do hate being right all the time — but this little war of the roses has turned deadly serious. Tesla stock dropped almost 25% today, on fears that Trump will in fact, remove all electric vehicle subsidies… And even possibly that he would cut government funding to SpaceX, which I think is about 85% of all the revenue of SpaceX at this point.
Moreover, Trump should worry that Musk — when he says Trump could not have won the election without him… he means that he knows “where the bodies are buried” in Michigan and likely Philadelphia — perhaps even including voting irregularities achieved by Russian operatives at Vlad Putin‘s direction… and all that leads to a felony prison cell for old tangerine.
In sum, these two idiots are increasingly playing a very dangerous game with each other — in public — over their warring social media platforms:
