The tech oligarchs have spent good money bribing Trump to let them do whatever they want, you better believe they’re expecting a bailout. It’s naive to think otherwise.

Breaking things is easy. Morality is difficult.

Or god forbid besmirch the Cheesecake Factory's decor! How day he!!!!

Hitching any of your wagons to any of Elon is just a terrible, terrible choice. Who would've guessed that the conman would live to con another day?

Could also be because Trump is an impulsive idiot who is currently flailing about, trying to do "things" to improve his chances of not getting totally wiped out in the midterms.

The dude rants and raves, retweets crazy shit, threatens people, ..., on the daily. He's a mountain of greed, BS, and hate, all wrapped in an ill-fitting human suit.

Unlimited political contributions is incompatible with democracy. The idea that more money means you get more speech is absurd.

No kidding. Musk is SIX YEARS late on delivering the previous version of the roadster, which has been superseded by today's announcement, promising its delivery in a few years, and everyone is just lappin' it up.

Have you ever been cooking, both hands dirty / busy and you just need a conversion from volumetric to weight in grams? Seems like a solid use case.

Many of us don't trust Elon, for very obvious reasons.

And they promised to only deliver those things if their party wins the house/senate(/presidency)? Were those people currently in power to the degree that they could pass those bills before the election, like the republicans currently are? If trump actually wanted to do this he'd have done it already. Did Obama/Biden previously promise multiple different "dividends" like trump has for doge and tariffs?

Find me one example of Obama or Biden promising that they'll give you free shit if you vote for their desired candidates.

The enemy of the people claims that not using his preferred naming for things makes you the enemy.

There's not a single reason to assume this administration is acting in good faith in any scenario. The correct way to look at all actions by this administration is to ask yourself, "how does this help trump?" Most of the time it is money (or staying in power => more money), as it almost certainly is here. He's looking for a payout for selectively targeting microsoft. That's it.

And when trump does something which clearly hurts himself, you have to remember that he is fantastically stupid, undisciplined, and insane.

My absolute favorite Trump imbecility, and there are so so so so so (so)^inf many Trump imbecilities. He’s almost impossibly dumb, just like his voters.

The BBB, Iran war, and tariffs, something done solely by republicans, sometimes just the president, are the source of inflation, so you can attribute this situation mostly on Trump, and fully on republicans.
