ELON/Trump Riff: DOGE Successfully Cuts US National Debt From $32 Trillion To $37 Trillion

[mudwhistle]

What are you guys going to do to Elon? I bet he's already getting MAGA death threats.

Hey look! The truth is coming out in this fight.

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

Musk responded immediately: “Such an obvious lie. So sad.” A few minutes later, he said Trump’s name is in the FBI files related to serial sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

“That is the real reason they have not been made public,” Musk wrote.

Musk knew how the bill phases out green energy tax credits that benefit his company.

“Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,” Trump said.
“He hasn’t said bad about me personally, but I’m sure that’ll be next. But I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”

Yea, you helped him by ruining his name. Now no one's buying his cars. LOL

Trump said Musk disliked how the bill phases out green energy tax credits that benefit his electric car company, Tesla.
“Elon’s upset because we took the EV mandate and, you know, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles,” Trump said. “And you know, they’re having a hard time, the electric vehicles, and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy.”
Musk immediately responded in a series of posts on his social media website.
“Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” Musk wrote.

Following Trump’s remarks, Musk, who spent more than $200 million on Trump’s campaign, began to offer more direct personal criticism.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote. “Such ingratitude.”

What, does Trump OWE you something Elon?

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!”

Crazy like Putin?

The Truth?

People were saying yesterday that Elon kept talking about throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and Trump seems to have gotten fed up with it.

Now Elon is throwing a temper-tantrum on his social media account.

What will happen to the white South Africans now? El Salvador jail?

SHUP goofball. For all you know Musk-Trump are playing good cop - bad cop trying to get Congress to do something? Like cut ridiculous spending promised to be cut during Trump campaign?


There is good in the bill everyone with a brain should want. But no wants the contiual spending into BS, waste, grift, corruption, fraud and outright theft. Yse, DOGE identified much of each. So much Congress won’t even mention it. Deep state won’t police itself.

Of course, yes. 4D chess. Trump is an uber-genius.

I know it must be very confusing to a leftoid who is only used to democrats all in line with their noses up the other's ass towing the party agenda instead of looking at best case solutions for the nation.

But I've heard both good and bad things about the bill. I've heard that there are certain limitations due to the kind of bill it is. If Musk sees something that can be made better in the bill (like not spending more) that he can talk others into voting the cuts for, more power to him.

What Musk sees is his damned pride being hurt. LOL Two scorpions in a bottle. Knew from the start it would end in a rift. Get out the popcorn!

“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk wrote on X, the social platform he owns. “[Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

Minutes later, he followed up: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Is Elon about to spill the tea?

You're missing the point. Elon is right. And a normal Republican would admit Trump just let you down bigly on his talk about the debt.

It's shit like this that costs parties. Remember Bush's read my lips no new taxes?

I think it's funny none of you side with Elon. It's as if you are so ******* brainwashed to defend the messiah at all costs.

 

[citygator]

So Musk is smart about DOGE cuts and rockets but dumb about his economic predictions?

 

[ColonelAngus]

The NAZIS in this thread on Musk’s jock is disturbing.

Jew Hating Nazis makes way more sense than JEW LOVING NAZIS.

Your brainwashing seems to be working on all cylinders.

Frankly, I don't believe either of them is being honest right now.

And as usual....you numbnuts are jumping to Elon's defense.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Where do you lefties hold your secret NAZI meeting where you fellate Musk?

Where do you lefties hold your secret NAZI meeting where you fellate Musk?

At the Fox studio of course.

Nazis should be deported to Germany.

Lots in this thread agreeing with Musk.

Looks like Elon and Trump are falling out of love over the Big Beautiful Bullshit Bill. Sad to see.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President and Musk Spar Over Policy Bill as Their Relationship Frays

Elon Musk is now training his fire directly at President Trump after several days of mostly criticizing Republicans in Congress. He just accused Trump on X of “ingratitude” and said, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.”

Musk is now responding in real time to Trump on X. He just reposted a video of Trump saying Musk “knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody sitting here.”

“False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!” Musk wrote.

Mr. Trump said he was “disappointed in Elon” for publicly opposing it.

That's all you got is made up BS about DOGE?

How surprising!

I side with both. I posted how great job Elon did and how to fix this argument. Give him a medal for DOGE just went over $180B!

Tesla by far the best EV car out there. All the higher ups in Silicon Valley could not get enough of the hi-tech installed. I lived it, I saw it. I saw the chargers go in. Nothing else could touch a Tesla EV.

But I don't want one. why would I? Don't want to install a charger. etc. Don't want a garbage VOLT or LEAF. Hybrid maybe if I needed it I suppose?

 

[leftwinger]

Two type A now in an argument. I don't like it either since it may affect me in the long run. Get it cleaned up now.

Musk and his band of technofascists were an unmitigated failure – saving hardly anything and causing needless destruction and hardship.

And Trump is as much of a failure for allowing it to happen – further proof Trump is unfit to be president.

You know this? How? Oh your Trump hating media fed your head?

Unfit for another 3 1/2 years!
