Economy Trump vs. Musk

[fedorthegoat777]

Is it a Big beautiful Bill or a disgusting abomination?

A long time ago, Musk used to be critical and outspoken of Trump, they publicly fought a few years before the election. Then around the election, Musk made a strong move towards Trump. He gave hundreds of millions. They were inseparable best friends forever and had a deep and intimate bromance.

Will it last? Still strong partners? Or are there already tensions?

Musk is strongly against goverment spending and sees it as the destruction of America. Trump loves to spend. Will they now clash or keep it behind them?

It's full of pork like every other omnibus bill. They could streamline it cutting a trillion or more dollars but they do not care. Omni bills should be banned.

Musk 1 - 0 Trump.

Let's see who Sherdog really supports.

Its the repeat of Trumps first presidency - Elon was bro with Trump, and after a few short months later, the bromance ends.

At least Trump supporters don't have to pretend to like Elon anymore.

Republican allies close to the White House are privately arguing that the former special government employee — who spent Tuesday afternoon blasting the spending bill and threatening to retaliate against its supporters — is opposing the bill because it harms the tech billionaire’s business interests.

Musk is right, the bill is a disgusting abomination.
Of course, so is DOGE.

 

[WhitestKidU’Know]

He’s just doing damage control.

One of Trump’s big issues in his first term was overspending. I have not looked deeply into the BBB, but if it is wasteful then it’s in line with his previous governance.

Omg lmao

That's the only reason he was involved in the first place ffs

He saved the country nothing, but slashed regulation affecting him personally

He's gutted government for his own benefit and done fuck all else. Are they just now realising lmao

 

[Jar of Flies]

Two ego-maniacs with loyalty first and foremost to themselves eventually had a falling out? No one could’ve seen this coming.

It’s estimated to add 5 trillion or more to the debt. So yeah, same ol stuff from Trump.

if Trump came to your home and punched you in the face, you would still find a way to defend him.
just sad.

I think Musk is right about spending , but carry on. Give us your insight on this topic.

i knew this shit was gonna happen the moment Trump brought Elon on
Trump makes a habit of surrounding himself with people who he can blame shit on or take the fall for him
Trump hires Elon to do all his DOGE bullshit, Elon pisses everyone off in the process but gets at least some of what Trump wants done.
Elon becomes the lightning rod for all of the heat for DOGE, then when he leaves the position Trump moves to undo some of that stuff to save face, and further blame Elon for what went wrong.
in the future if someone questions him about stuff related to that he can further pin the blame on Elon.
its a classic Trump move and he keeps doing it; but no one who tries to get close to him seems to understand this

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Clearly the lizard people deep state illuminati has gotten to Musk.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

The bill is trash but Elon's 2 cents don't really mean shit to me

 

[Crazy Source]

They are both disgusting human beings and this bill is disgusting.
