i like how his 'flex' indicates that he knew and supported him anyways.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 8 points 10 hours ago

I know he's evil because we fucked the same child. Slam dunk

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Did he learn that before or after he spent $250 million dollars to get him elected and acted like he was best buddies with him until very recently?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

He's just trying to cover his arse and recover what's left of his shattered reputation. Can't we just fucking universally shun this shit-head now? Keep reporting on his many transgressions, but stop giving the worthless cunt air-time and interviews.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We also should keep assuming he's lying. The two of them would happily fight in public and keep chatting on the phone or by email to cut back door deals for each other, if they thought it would relieve political pressure.

Remember, all they do is lie, all of every day, it's just that you don't always know about what or why. Everything in their lives is a con.

Nope. The reason he is doing this is to keep on getting the narcistic attention that all narcissists crave. Its the same reason he joined with Trump in the first place. He wanted to horn in on Trump's narcistic attention. And now after being fired he wants to keep on getting narcistic attention independently of Trump's narcistic attention.

And maybe bring up actual positive initiatives, like unionization, whenever discussions do revolve around his self-serving talking points.

Please stop spreading misinformation, Elon spent $44 billion (yes with a b) getting him elected.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

There's been pictures of trump hanging out with Epstein for a long time. There also the numerous allegations of sexual assault as well as being found liable. Backstage at pageant shows, etc.Trump is and has been a creep for a long ass time.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He got to disrupt critical government agencies, destroy the evidence against him, and got to boss the president around for a few months... seems like a pretty good deal. Just putin's wallet is much deeper.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 22 hours ago

The world knew it before Epstein was killed.

This isn't news. It was on television.

Hey if anybody has Twitter, tell Elon that I hate him and love Trump, but if he drops a bunch of hard evidence I will love him and hate Trump instead.

Also, if anyone has Truth Social, tell Trump that Elon said Trump's hands are way too small to release any dirt the government has on him.

Our comments went in the same direction.

Editor's Note: In fact, shit will not get real.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh, is this the editor's desk? I have some feedback about last week's Wordle.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 4 points 23 hours ago

Don't we all bitch, I mean mitch.

If nothing else this ought to keep Donny up raging all night for a while and this distracted from wrecking other things.

Of course there's also the possibility that the files get 'lost' and somehow it all get's forgotten as soon as the next shiny thing wafts by.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 6 points 1 day ago

Honestly I think anything is possible right now. Trump is a sundowner, and, well, checks watch

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

Listen, it’s been a rough couple months in America. And we’re still kinda fucked, but this is really funny to watch. I think that’s how me make it through is finding moments like this to laugh at. They’re literally two toddlers who own their own social media companies posting about how they hate each other.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I like to think somewhere someone made a bet with a bookie on how long it'd take for this breakup to happen, and someone somewhere is cashing in.

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Nothing is getting real. These clowns seems to be above the law.. there has been so many " getting real" moments already and ..it's all theater.. focus on the real needs..not the anufactuted theater

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 19 points 1 day ago

Does that mean he knowingly brought his ~~meatshield~~ son to meet the pedo taco? I'm so shocked!

[–] Balaquina@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean, we all know it, but with Elon saying it, shit is indeed about to get real...

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

I admire your optimism.

The only post I want to see is the actual files. Saying random shit on twitter is about as meaning full as saying random shit in truth social.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 12 points 1 day ago

These knives look to be getting mighty long.

[–] jamescrakemerani@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Since Trump literally said himself that he could shoot someone, and not lose any voters, I really doubt this will damage him significantly.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 11 points 21 hours ago

Oh shit they are about to have sex!

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And a week from now they'll be buddies and fox news will say "liberals love to take words out of Elon musk's mouth"

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Exactly this. One is an idiot, the other an idiot on drugs. All of this is a waste of time.

I'm so excited for this catastrophe. :)

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

Real fucking messy for the rest of us.

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

They could release it all now and it wouldn't matter. His supporters do not care. That has been made crystal clear at this point.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

I’m so shocked. Look at how shocked I am: 😐

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago

It's that really how a First Buddy should act, Elon?

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

"Suprised that biden didnt do it"

So... why did you put musk in charge of government efficiency?... did... glorious leader make a mistake? Nah impossible, its clearly a 5d chess move.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Musk is just the latest of dozens of people that Trump hired who ended up denouncing Trump later.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

You are a PoS. You will be known forever as being a waste of oxygen.

Still think this is all hilarious though. Release the info if true, muskrat! Before Diaper Don has you arrested for... blah blah whatever stupid reason he makes up.

Do it, coward! DO IT!

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Next Elon needs to show the receipts for election fraud.

[–] dangling_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day lol. Yes, we subsidize way too much on Tesla and SpaceX.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 2 points 23 hours ago

Real dumb...

[–] _LordMcNuggets_@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

hate them both equally, don't know whether to take the blue or red corner. regardless, popcorn has been prepared.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don’t have to root for anyone here. Mutual destruction would be wonderful.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

there's no blue corner here.
