Summary

A Politico report revealed that Elon Musk privately called Donald Trump “a f***ing moron” before a 2020 White House meeting about a Tesla factory.

Musk also mocked the White House’s “outhouse” appearance compared to China’s, irritating Trump. Despite initial tensions, they agreed that COVID was overblown.

Musk later left Trump’s advisory councils over climate policy but reconciled after donating to the GOP.

Their relationship remains rocky, with Trump reportedly saying, “What the f--- is wrong with this guy? And why doesn’t his shirt fit?” after Musk’s odd behavior at a 2024 rally.

Simulation Programmer: delete these two please. We’re done with them.

I've been saying, "Computer: End program" for a while now. Hasn't worked yet, but you never know...

He knows. They can smell their own.

[–] _LordMcNuggets_@feddit.org 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Trump is there to serve one function only. Musk won him the election, and now POTUS is Musk's puppet. They don't have to get along, it's a partnership. He famously said, "stealing an isn't difficult, it only requires changing one line of code".

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Musk didn’t win him shit. Trump was going to win no matter what.

Only reason Musk is around is because Trump’s presidency is for sale. He made a lot of money off Musk’s “donations”.

In exchange for that donation was giving Musk his position and his unofficial powers.

You can feel the super homo gay tension in the room between these guys.

They must have very angry man on man sex, when they’re not draining the cum swamp.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

I'm cool with gay tension and man-on-man sex. It's not my cuppa, but if you're into and everyone consents, have at it, I say.

I know the pictured assholes would feel like they were being insulted, though.

Thank god you censored fuck but why are there three asterisks there?

We don't all call them fukkking morons? What do you call the dumbest white supremacists?

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 3 points 18 hours ago

Obviously it’s because I went to the international skool of Trump speling and bigly economics. I majored in as***ics and phonix’es

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

Fracking? 🤷‍♂️

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

They’re forking. It’s sad honestly when they could just spoon and hash it out like brojob buddies

Edit: that’s the same amount of letters. I still stand by my comment

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

The third one is a space. It's "fuck king"

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Literally shaking rn.

[–] NOT_RICK_SANCHEZ@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Musk isn’t very smart, but he is smart enough to know the bar he has to jump is fucking low.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The bar is 5 miles underground.

Edit: And sinking.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

An underground tunnel, if you will. A very boring underground tunnel. Kinda loopy.

The kind that you propose in the interest of trying to fuck over California rail so you can sell more teslas, but then it happens anyway

It would be sick as hell if I could just take BART from Modesto or Stockton and get down to San Diego in under 6-8 hours.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 28 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Hey look! Musk finally said something that's 100% accurate!

But also: It takes one to know one.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Oh my god he admit it. (Yet still elected him)

[–] ytsedude@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

That's why he elected him.

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Me & Donny 🤝Leon’s shirts not fitting being weird as hell.

Trying to figure out what kind of 'buddy' vibe they are trying to go for here, Frodo and Samwise, or Ren and Stimpy.

Bring back forum signatures.

Thankfully Lemmy supports animated avatars already.

Musk says he's going to destroy the woke mind virus. So he's now a tool for Trump to use.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago
