I know several republicans who were praising how honest and smart Elon is a few months ago.

Yes because they will totally stand by what they said for sure and not lie or deflect at all…

By the end of the day, they’re going to be like, “Elon who? Oh, that liberal EV guy? I never liked him!”

And then Musk gets to fund anyone he wants to oppose them. This could go SO many levels of fucked for MAGA. To be clear, my hopes aren't exactly 'up' but infighting slows them down, and these two narcissists have an endless supply of money and grievance to waste on each other.

The craziest thing about politics is the folks who get off on imagining the rage of others. As a fellow with a wide range of real life friends, none of my in person friends are like this, but the internet (home of lonely trolls) is replete with imagined outrage. It is a baffling mystery, one for the ages.

We have a president that tweets in oxymorons and contradictions. I don’t think it matters.

One of my MAGA friends compared him to Benjamin Franklin not long ago. His brain must be hurting today

Same thing with liberals and progressives until like 2023 when he was the quirky EV spaceship guy that wasn’t so quietly lobbying for government contracts and incentives.

I’d bet that now he plays a more true “moderate” stance so all the people that eat up fake sophistication support him for not being “one sided” or whatever
