omg www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Trump has been telling people he thinks Musk's behavior is linked to his drug use: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

watch my dog on TV

Penny just waiting her turn to be asked how she feels about the Trump-Musk breakup

I hate to say it, but I experienced un-regretted user minutes on x dot com

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

There we go.

can someone who is smart at business let me know if this is good

Such beauty in life

Here's a tricky one. The online far-right absolutely can't remain silent at this moment. Like a shark, they have to keep posting or they'll die. And since they're getting paid to post, all the more so. But they can't risk really offending either party. So how to square the circle... I got it!

y'all are gonna make kayfabe trend on here for how much you keep posting it, but I need you to remember we are not dealing with a 4-d chess guy, or a chess guy, or even a checkers guy

This sure reads like a call for impeachment. All the other tech leaders who followed Musk to Trump are gonna get dragged in to choosing sides.

there are decades where no posting happens, there are weeks where years of posting happens

soooo does this mean DOGE is the new deep state

This is a level five Goof Situation, all users report to Riff Stations

apropos of nothing, Tesla's stock is down 10 percent today, which would take out about $100 billion

So it seems pretty clear that this is gonna be a contest between Trump and Musk to see who actually runs the MAGA political world. And Musk is right — he has the resources to impact these lawmakers' careers in way Trump can't.

Probably the most surprising thing about this confrontation is that it took more than 180 days to happen

Here it is: Musk thinks he is owed a say in Trump’s policy because of how much he spent on the campaign.

Trump: "Elon is upset because we took the EV mandate -- which was a lot of money for electric vehicles -- and they're having a hard time ... I know that disturbed him. He wanted somebody that he knew very well to run NASA and I didn't think it was appropriate ... We won, we get certain privileges."

going through a breakup, publicly saying it’s mutual and no one is mad, and then crashing out a few days later and posting 500 times about how your ex is tarnishing your legacy might be the most relatable thing musk has ever done

Reporter: “What do you think the future of DOGE will be and who is exactly in charge?” Former DOGE staffer: “I have no idea…To be honest, even when I was there, it was unclear who was in charge.” #WITAOD

this is a chaotic neutral account; please do not ascribe posts to the lawful good community

get in, we’re going discoursing!!
