it just went from bad to worse.
We now have two villians to deal with - Tr**p and Elon.
We can only hope that Tr**p and Elon take out each other.

(121,502 posts)That's way too much megalomania for one location. It might not happen until after the inauguration, but Musk thinks his money can buy everything - and he's been right about that, so far. And Trump needs that money to be sure everybody who needs to be bought can be bought. But when agency heads and members of Congress start bypassing Trump to negotiate directly with Musk, that's gonna burn Trump's fat orange ass. What does Trump do then, considering that he's halfway senile and not as smart or as rich as Musk? Can Trump make Musk go away? Will he want to? And what does Musk do if some significant number of Congresscritters start to resent the castration of their entire branch of the government?
Stock up on popcorn, folks. There's not much we can do but sit on the sidelines and watch.
