Elon put his fortune and businesses on the line to help Trump get elected.
If Trump had lost, he and his companies would be in a world of shite because the democrats would use every tool in the government yo go after Elon.


Elon admitted in interviews before the election that if Kamala won, he'd probably go to prison. So, it wasn't all about helping Trump. He was looking out for number one too.

First term Trump would have gone ballistic, Second Term Trump understands how the sausage is made now.

Elon doesn't have the political experience but he has a great deal of idealism...


But I think we're seeing in real time - to the confusion and dismay of our most absolutist Trump loyalists - that Elon represents that first term Trump attitude. The outsider, don't compromise, read the bill, common sense attitude.

And they're clearly struggling with it in other threads as this board (which is super MAGA) isn't lining up against Elon.

I don't think it's about Elon the guy, I think it's what he represents to the movement at this point - sticking to your word, not getting bogged down in the swamp, etc.

Because republicans in congress have bitched him the last decade

Blocked the repeal of the ACA

They supported the Russia hoax

They blocked border funding

They sat idle while he was being arrested by Biden DOJ

They passed all of Biden’s agenda

The are over stepping him on foreign policy

They screwed him on judges

They blocked his cabinet picks



Yet he still folds to them

For what? What is it you think is going to happen to him? is he going to get primaried? Dude's threatening to primary anyone who voted for BBB


The Democrats and European globalists want Elon destroyed... in prison... or worse. If you don't realize that I don't know what to tell you. He said before the election that if Trump didn't win, he'll probably go to prison. He was only half joking. But have fun thinking Elon holds the cards though.

Trump can also fire back saying "If it weren't for me winning the election, you would be the most investigated person on the planet and probably thrown in prison because they were coming after you Elon just like they came after me"

Of course they were going to devolve like this.

I doubt this little tiff did much, but I give Elon 6 months until he splits.


I will give you seven months on a ban bet until July if you're willing to put your pussy where your mouth is


I hope this guy is honoring his own ban bet

I havent seen a tweet that Elon has put out on the BBB that wasnt correct in nature.

Trump is losing his arse on this bill. Democrats enjoying the shite out of this.

Trump has been helping push this bill since it was in the House. He hasn't changed his stance on the bill.


Trump said he wouldn't pass this kind of bill.

No it’s not.

The man had to watch his stock get kicked to shite trying to help us just to have nothing done about any findings.

I’m with Elon 100% here

Trump is a disappointment. Better than Kamala but he is becoming an utter failure

Trump Jr likely had much more to do with that.

My comment was about Elon... BUT

So what is your tactic then? Trump dig his heels in unless he gets 100% of what he wants from a GOPe led Congress, which will never happen? All or nothing is what you think is best for the country? That's what people voted for Trump for? To be a "principled," contrarian yet ineffective leader who get's NOTHING done? At a time when our nation is hurting and needs a leader who gets things done?

It's 4 months... We have four years to address plenty of shite in the longer-term. Everyone acting like this one bill is the be-all, end-all of everything.

Ok? I agree that he fully supports this bill. I was responding to someone claiming he was "siding" with RINOs. That simply isn't the case. People are either "siding" with Trump on this, or they aren't. He's clearly taking the lead on this.

1st term was great. 2nd term not so great at all so far.

The only thing I can of is maybe Brandon screwed things up so bad not even Trump can fix them now.
