    Tesla’s energy division sells solar panels. The Senate version of the bill would totally repeal federal subsidies to the wind and solar industries for the projects placed in service after 2027.

    So he only cares about what Trump is doing when it affects his business. Great backbone you have, Elon.

        Don’t believe it for a second. He gives no fucks about the debt, he’s only mad because they’re coming after the free money tap (“green” energy incentives) that all his parasitic companies depend on.

          Oh I’m well aware, that’s why I implied that he is also the enemy. But the enemy of your enemy, is just that, your enemies enemy. IF he can do damage, I’ll sit back and watch.

      We have 2 reasons to believe it isn’t.

      1. That would require acting, planning and personal control on the parts of both Elon and Trump.

      2. Ketamine

      Agreed this is for entertainment/Kayfabe purpose. Just noise at this point. You know his values and what he has delivered with DOGE.

    I have a very hard time believing that all of a sudden, this clown gives a shit about “debt slaves”. There is no way he’s complaining about us peons having to pay for all this spending.

    He sure as fuck didn’t care how his funding cuts were going to affect the peasant class when he was gleefully setting fire to all our social safety nets…so what the hell is he even talking about?

    He got manipulated by the game and now he wants vengeance. …but nothing will change even if every citizen teamed together.

      Lol that’s pathetically defeatist. You only need to neutralize a few billionaires to disperse the broke dipshit Nazis.

        So then that calls for marketing. For marketing you need money. For money you need them, because you need to play their systems of profiting. They already have the people, they already have the marketing.

        This is a battle people can’t win without sacrifice.

          Eh, we need a cultural shift that neuters marketing or else people will always be subject to the whims of those with capital.

      TBH still my enemy, I’d say. His methods are still about leveraging his ill-gotten wealth to manipulate American politics in his favor. No matter which end he accomplishes, the means are still a complete breach of the democratic process, in my opinion.

        Im pretty hesitant to call him my “friend” but rn he’s one of the only people with enough power to really derail anything. I assume he’ll go back to being a dipshit soon but for the first time in my life I agree with the dude

    I always knew that the Trump-Musk love affair was gonna end, but I didn’t expect it to disintegrate this fast.

    I have a feeling the bill hits Tesla or something. Maybe not directly, but with all the anti-environment shit in it that probably includes his shitty EVs.
