Your guess as to why Trump has gone silent?

Most expected Trump to go nuclear after Musk launched the Epstein missile.

My guess is that Trump’s silence since then is because he's going to take some massive ACTION against Musk, soon. Following Bannon's suggestion, I think he's looking into seizing Space X for national security reasons.

What do you think the silence means?

Because he’s the president and maybe a little wiser this time and is letting Elon erode away and credibility he has. Richest man in the world acting like a bitch

Just let Elon rant, no need to engage.

I hope he doesn’t sue Elon.

We don’t need this to drag on.

Call Elon, make nice enough and not enemies, move on.

I don’t think that’s wise at all.

I've been so out of the loop with politics the past week but Elon looks like he's losing his fricking mind on Twitter. I have no side in this, I like chaos.

Melania told him “no sex if you don’t shut the frick up.”

Would be such a massive misstep I’m shocked it wasn’t mentioned sooner.

I hope this is correct. Musk's wealth is a good tool re primarying GOPe's. I hope he can be brought back into MAGA, but I don't see a path back.

People on this board have been calling for it before Bannon.

We now have people suggesting Trump go full on Venezuela while still trying to convince people that they’re conservative.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, just that I expect some strong action by Trump. Maybe he's just having his lawyers look into federal contracts being terminated with Musk.

He is probably working. Elon made a fool of himself and has no leverage.

Trumpets say Elon has made a fool of himself.

Non-Lemmings have accepted that both do these men are childish idiots, but one is infinitely smarter than the other.

Trumpets claiming Trump is mature and wise.

Gotta love this hilarity.

That will look good in Trump's section in the history books. Perhaps Trump should settle in to silent mode for a few weeks. Putin is chuckling. Oh, how chaotic is our representative republic.
