someone needs to get in Trump's ear and tell him to seize all Musk's money for ~~himself~~ the executive branch
- Just Nationalizing his companies without compensation would do it. Most of musk's wealth is in his companies and he just takes out loans using shares as collateral.
  
  Normally eminent domain requires fair compensation, however Musk has committed so much fraud you could argue that the government has in fact already compensated him.
- I would totally have another McDonalds burger every time musk said anything. A cheesy cheese Burger with Bacon. Lots and lots of juicy aminal flesh that is good for everyone. Totally. Forget all of us vegans and non meat eaters.... Greasy cheese meat is the best.

If you really cared about what's best for the US, you and Trumpy would join hands and walk your asses into a volcano.
Musk lost $33 billion out of $368 billion yesterday. That's over 11% of his net worth evaporated in a day. I'm not surprise that he's trying to make up now. I just hope Trump keeps being the petty, vindictive bitch he's always been. I don't want this to be over so soon. I was enjoying it. I want trump to sick ICE on Musk, freeze his accounts, and nationalize his businesses in the USA. On the other hand, I want musk to dump all the dirt he has on Trump. He's got to have some juicy stuff, after all, he has access to every DM ever sent on Twitter and Trump must have incriminated himself multiple times on there.
- TACO
  
  Sadly (in this case) true.
I said they'd kiss and make up.
I think half the damn country has lost its mind.
- 32%
  
  Well also include the chose not to vote.
There is something distopian in using bilionare as the metonym.
Musk thinks he can control him... lol
- Well putin did so its possible.
Rocket Man Icarus flew too close to the sun on this one. Elon thought he had a lot more pull than he did, but the invisible hand of the market was happy to fist him a friendly reminder of who's really in charge here. Musks power is his money and his money is his stock price; without it he is less than nothing.
- Drugs is a helluva drug
- Additionally Musk is the richest man in the world
  He doesn't control most of the world's wealth though. There are families with generational wealth that makes musk look poor.
During the interview Bannon also claimed the feud is “a national security issue” as Musk reportedly used a lot of drugs during his rise to political prominence. He also repeated his claim that Musk is an “illegal alien”. (As NPR has factchecked, South African-born Musk has held US citizenship since 2002, according to PolitiFact. The Washington Post reported in October 2024 that Musk worked illegally in the US in the late 90s; Musk denied his work was unauthorized).
hehehehe
Taco Don will NEVER Bend the Knee to a BILLIONAIRE!
