Reporters need to start asking trump how he likes working with such a wealthy person as Musk...
Their egos are too big to coexist

They should ask Trump if, while hanging around Musk, Trump has now seen how rich people live.
They should ask Vice President Trump if he enjoys working under "President Musk"
First Lady Trump*
Let him think the public (rightfully) sees him as Elon's bitch.
Nah, demeaning to women, and I'm not even the type to say that for a lot of things.
Let's make Trump Elon's First Lad.
Lol it's so easy to manipulate Trump into turning on people.
It's lucky that Elon is the president and not Trump.
I think it was an YUGE step for Trump to admit he can’t do the job on his own. And, to let Rupert Murdoch and Vladmir make him let Elon have control could not have been easy. So kudos Don, for admitting you’re just not smart enough and needed help.
The greatest South African inserted Immigrant President of all time.
That fuckin dunce is never going to be smart enough to admit fault in anything. Dude could shit his pants and blame someone else in the room the next day, no problem.
We really need to lean into this
What Trump is too stupid to realize is that this is Musk's presidency. Trump has always been a puppet to money and Elon can just buy him off, like he bought his way into Tesla.
And Musk os too stupid to realize that Trump cares about the image of holding piwer, not about the power itself. He's very easy to control from the shadows, but Elon can't keep his face out of the public eye.
Let's hope his ego doesn't let him realize that
Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk's opinion will influence Trump's actions.
"We didn't vote for Felon. Wait, ok, not that Felon"
Wait until JD Vance remove Trump using 25th amendment see how that blows their minds.
Is there any way we can encourage this civil war between Trump and Musk
Wait, Trump means "Fart" in British slang
and Musk is how animals smell each other and stuff..
They're both smelly!
Just keep pointing out the reality, that President Musk is really running the show, while puppet dumpy takes orders.
It's not new. Take a look at all the billionaires telling him what to do. He's not in charge.
8 years ago I'd have thought "Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money." Now, I know he's just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.
Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.
“So I guess it goes from Putin to Musk to trump to the cleaner’s… right, Kent?”
Hot damn I get this reference and love that movie!
If it's this easy to manipulate trump, just imagine how easy it is for Russia.
Well we all know it's true, Trump is mentally weak and is easily manipulated by President Musk.
so...we can just pit the vipers against each other until they bite each other to death?
Thats the plan.
Too bad instead of getting to watch from the sidelines safely, we are stuck in the arena with them.
He can’t do fuck all, Musk was elected president. Trump can smoke a fat dick.
Nothing in this article supports the headline directly. The last paragraph is.
"There’s no telling just yet how much of a rift this has caused between the two men, as Musk seems to be a long-term fixture in Trump’s inner circle. But if this kind of public one-upping continues, who knows how long this bromance will last."
I have also done a lot of drugs and made this face.
"I'm in fucken space rn, I wonder if anyone can tell I can't feel my lips"
The hyaenas will be at each others' throats constantly. That will be the one defining feature of the next Trump administration.
This specific tension happened a lot sooner than I expected.
Let's see... a guy famous for (among other things) owning a company that builds electric cars teams up with the guy who said he wants to outlaw electric cars. Fireworks were inevitable at some point.
I don't think EVs are the key issue here. The key issue are the grotesquely overinflated egos they both have. It's basically impossible for them to accept anyone as equal.
No it's a guy who wants to be king vs a guy who wants to hold the whip but both view themselves as heroes and the greatest gift to humanity.
One thinks his personality is what won him over and will keep all the support of his followers and one thinks he's the smartest person in the room and his correctness will show that he deserves all his followers.
It's cult leader narcissist vs cult leader narcissist. They don't even have to get to policy before the breakdown occurs.
Tesla produces primarily stock market manipulation schemes, cars secondly...
The value isn't tied to the cars they produce now, so it doesn't matter how many cars they actually sell.
This has been obvious from day 1 of the Trump and Musk show. Trump is an ego maniac and does not like other people taking the lime light.
Trump is predictable in that sense but then highly unpredictable as he turns to his next round of courtiers and sycophants.
Lmfao. Good!
Trump ought to get congress to pass the spending bill just to show Musk who's boss.
Ohh and the egos on both of them. This is going to be like working on a marvel movie.
Fight! Fight! Fight! (grabs popcorn and a few beers).
We need people at every Trump event holding up giant signs that say “We ❤️ President Musk!” Line the streets leading to Mar-a-Lago with these signs!
Then rinse and repeat for every other shitheel that’s aligned with the Orange One.
Oh, they are not getting along. Is it time to pacify the populace with some WWE drama!?
Who is the heel Muskrat or Aotus? Maybe they will take turns, won't that be entertaining!
I hope president Musk can keep his hired goon under control.
Good good let the hate flow through you.
Daily reminder that it's always a good idea to tweet Trump with messages like "why aren't your ideas as good as <insert scumbag here>?"
Get them in the habit of tearing each other apart and we can keep them occupied for most of the next 4y.
How many Scaramuccis will elon last?
