So anyway Musk is publicly dragging Trump on tariffs and his Big Beautiful Bill, while withholding a cool hundred million in pledged political slush fund donations.
Oh, and he's tantruming out of DC, and Miller's wife has decided to leave the Trump admin and go with him.

All of this would be funny in and of itself, but the (published!) DC rumor mill also has Stephen and Katie Miller in a torrid polycule situation together, so now it very much looks like Stephen tried to use his wife to honeypot Musk into compliance, but managed to lose his wife to Musk instead.

The same article that reported the throuple rumor ALSO reported that the Millers had gotten close to Musk in order to run him like an asset, with Katie Miller joining DOGE to keep a closer eye on Elon.
And Stephen went around DC saying he was running Musk using his wife as Elon's handler

Gav has always been a blight on California, even when he was just SF mayor, but what a tumble. Always more layers of filth for him to roll in. He's lucky he's terming out of office in CA so he won't have to face another recall. If that man has no haters, it's only because I'm dead. Fuck him.

Is this where the obnoxious contrarianism of New York magazine journalism leads? People who think it’s just a fun personality type, no concern for who it harms or whose deaths it insults? Every stereotype about out of touch journalists treating lives as playthings has a truth?
Disgusting ethics.

Resurrecting the AIDS denial of the 1990s — which, as Gregg noted, killed hundreds of thousands — just to give rhetorical and political cover to COVID truthers is DISGUSTING

The solution to the con man problem is not to attack the confidence artist himself or tell people they’ve been taken—people tend to protect themselves against the reality by increasing their devotion. It is to decrease the number of marks.

This was recognized with the Reagan era, but had not been thoroughly tested until Trump, because before Barack Obama broke white people’s brains, there was an assumption that no major party would nominate a con man with no experience, knowledge, or prior office to run for national office.
