Trump v Elon: Will their battles become legend?

[finesse]

And taking the flak for the dastardly deeds DOGE did.

The new political party will capture Elon's attention for about three months. It will run zero candidates for office.

Injetcing Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon into the political landscape has been the worst collateral effect of the Trump rise to power.

 

[Icky Mettle]

If Bannon is Elon's enemy, then Elon can't be all bad. Just mostly.

Or vice versa.

Let’s just say Elon does form and fund a new party and pay attention to it from now until the 2026 elections.

Its candidates will run on the Rand Paul platform - radically cut spending.

That party will find out few Americans want spending cuts.

Elon's vision for the future involves him and 25 of his friends as our intergalactic overlords living in a space palace on Mars, with a constantly refreshed supply of young, attractive women as a breeding harem, while the rest of us either labor away to build it for him or have our life force harvested for power like batteries. Enjoy everyone!

Elon's vision for the future involves him and 25 of his kids

Fixed it for you. I mean, fix for real. I've read that he talks about taking a legion of his children to colonize Mars.

First past the post exists in those other races too. His plan could easily result in heavy majorities in both the house and senate, and that might only take his candidates getting 10% or so.

If it somehow ended up with a supermajority in the senate, then impeachment and removal becomes a legitimate goal - for both potus and scotus - if democrats had enough balls.

Scott Adams should be Chair of the RNC.

lol back to Epstein

 

[Centerpiece]

BTT because Elon is absolutely making his battle vs. Trump a “thing”.
The Epic part is playing out on Musk’s X or “The Platform formerly known as Twitter”. Elon insists on stoking the Epstein controversy (or conspiracy as it were) by throwing bombs on the regular.

There are at least two other threads on this board which speak to all things Epstein/Sexual Assault Appeal/Kash Patel/Files/Bondi/Bonjovigino/etc. but as long as Elon keeps stoking those Epstein flames… this thread won’t go away either.

Yes, Elon is trying to battle Trump by floating a new, 3rd party gambit, but: The Epstein files “mystery” will be the defining battle between Trump and Elon and it is indeed becoming “epic”

I'm not sure how much it matters if Musk actually creates a party and/or runs folks in elections. If he merely pulls his money, X, and his fawning support from Trump/Republicans it will hurt them to some extent.

Scott Adams should be Chair of the RNC.

I thought he was going to be dying of cancer shortly?
