One Big Beautiful Feud

Remember when I said that Elon Musk wasn't really leaving the Trump regime, that he would still be around in some honorary form? I said that last week. I was wrong. What a difference a week makes. 

A very public argument between Trump and Musk erupted over the budget bill - the asininely titled "One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (note redundancy) with back-and-forth social-media bleats.   Musk, who spoke to CBS reporter David Pogue on "CBS Sunday Morning" - hardly a hard-hitting news program - said that Trump's budget proposals had too much spending and needed to be drastically cut.

Trump responded by saying that Musk, who, last time I checked, still owns Tesla, was upset because the "big beautiful bill" eliminated electric-vehicle tax breaks and added on his Truth Social platform that Musk "just went CRAZY!"

Musk used his personal account on his own platform X to declare that Trump would not have defeated Kamala Harris without his money and proportional efforts (sorry, Harris supporters, that's not enough to give her a reason for a comeback, Democrats do not let failed nominees have comebacks); Trump meanwhile,  threatened to cut Musk’s government contracts, and he ironically made a very valid point; even then-President Joe Biden hadn't tried to cut Musk's government contracts.  As for Musk, he claimed that Trump is indeed in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files,  and then he reposted a comment on X calling for Trump’s impeachment. "Yes," Musk replied to the original commenter. 

And I thought that Musk was still in solid with Trump.  When I make a mistake, it's a big, beautiful one.😂

I think our new pope just performed his first miracle.  He hadn't even been in the shoes of the fisherman for three weeks, and chaos is already ensuing in the Trump regime.  Whatever the cause of the Trump-Musk split, this is far more entertaining and eye-opening that than split between President William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 must have been, because Taft and Roosevelt had been close friends, and the two eventually reconciled.  Trump and Musk had a friendship born out of convenience, mutual self-aggrandizement, and an irrational fear of an America headed by a black woman with a Jewish husband.  Their enormous egos are cancelling each other out and will hopefully make it that much harder for either of them to turn the United States into Der Amerikanisches Reich.

So let's sit back and enjoy the show that is the Trump-Musk feud.
