Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, on Monday said he would back challengers to members of Congress who vote for President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill."
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.
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.
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
Oh, this is going to get good, isn’t it?
No. Its going to continue getting worse unfortunately…
Might as well have some entertainment while civilization is collapsing
That’s why I am high
All day, every day. I’m glad weed is legal now cause it’s the only way to survive this nightmare reality.
Yep, one of the only things keeping me going
“The story of America”
Meh, I can see no harm from Republican infighting.
Gallows humour and schadenfreude is all that most people have left to enjoy.
(settles back and puts feet up with a giant bowl of popcorn)
An explosion of dumpster fires.
No. He isn’t going to do shit unfortunately. Bannon, Carlson, Musk, MTG, they’re all full of shit. They never stray too far.

He could always try living within his means, you know, like rich republicans always say poor people should do.

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.
MACO!
No nothing is good about two asshole like this going head to head.

Bad example because I’d eat Jennifer Connelly‘s ass like it was my last meal.
