Elons motivation for supporting Trump was self preservation, not ideological reasons.
He stated several times before the election that if the Dems won, he would probably end up in prison.

Remember how hard the Dems were going after him once he bought Twitter and opened it up???
Elon has now exposed how shallow his belief is in America First ideas. He's soley concerned with Elon First.

Not saying you're wrong but how so?

It would take more than buying Twitter.

Politically yes but jail? I would love to hear about that one.

He did himself no favors at all to either side after yesterday. I have very serious doubts the left ever embraces him again.

He will apologize but Trump will not forgive this one.

After Trump, Elon was public enemy #1 for the Democrats.

Not ideological? You mean not completely 100% in alignment with Trump's ideology. There is clearly ideologic alignment on many things. You can support a candidate and not agree with them all of the time.

And Trump is concerned with Trump first. The promise of Trump Tower - Moscow is keeping him on Putin’s side, for example.

The world’s two biggest egos in the world’s two oldest children is the shitshow of the century.

Follow the money. Elon thought the $7500 tax credit was going to stay because Teslas are almost entirely sourced in the US. The Big Beautiful Bill appears to say we don't give a shite if EVs are made here or not, the $7500 that goes to Tesla when taking possession of your vehicle will soon be $0.00. That screws over Elon because if anyone has purchased a Tesla recently, they can tell you that Tesla adds some bullshite delivery fees etc to zap and wash this $7500. Was free money to Elon, now he'll have to drop a lot of these bullshite fees.

Is there any scenario in your mind where Trump deserves criticism for proposing more spending and racking up more debt?

Elon opposes BBB because he doesn’t get EV credits & H1b perks. Also because it codify’s tough immigration policy.

Y’all trusting the CBO that gets everything wrong is asinine lol.

This bill is the largest deregulation, tax cut, border enforcement, energy dominance we will ever see in our life time but y’all rather hand the reins to Schumer and then bitch.

Nothing but upvotes for a regurgitated talking point with zero actual information. This bill is really shining a light onto the retards of this board.

Idiots on this board hate a bill because retard Massie says so.

The only reason they hate it is because they trust CBO. CBO will never be favorable to a bill that cuts taxes.

Under Biden, the FCC, FTC, SEC were all investigating him for fraud, conspiracy, and other charges. He didn't bend the knee so he to be hunted.

Nah, I think the bill is a garbage bill for a multitude of reasons The ban on any kind of AI regulation, the the blown up deficit (not CBO's claim but the bill itself explicitly expands the deficit), The medicare fee schedule changes are designed to hobble the program.

This bill is a hot shite sandwich and is going to put a lot of Americans supporting their parents who thought they were retiring soon. and you guys are handwaiving away the issues saying "oh tarriffs are going to fix the issue, sure every single time they've ever been used they've made these kind of issues worse but this time surely the pedophile will get it right"

The guy can't even keep ketamine addicts from getting in fistfights in the whitehouse and even MTG says this bill is garbage.

Trump is the one handing the reigns to Schumer here because the fight he kicked off over this bill is going to easily hand the Democrats the house after midterms, likely the senate too.

But nah you don't care because shiny pork in the bill.
