The only post I want to see is the actual files. Saying random shit on twitter is about as meaning full as saying random shit in truth social.

i like how his 'flex' indicates that he knew and supported him anyways.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 10 points 1 day ago

I know he's evil because we fucked the same child. Slam dunk

Our comments went in the same direction.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 72 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Did he learn that before or after he spent $250 million dollars to get him elected and acted like he was best buddies with him until very recently?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

There's been pictures of trump hanging out with Epstein for a long time. There also the numerous allegations of sexual assault as well as being found liable. Backstage at pageant shows, etc.Trump is and has been a creep for a long ass time.

spent $250 million dollars to get him elected

Please stop spreading misinformation, Elon spent $44 billion (yes with a b) getting him elected.

He's just trying to cover his arse and recover what's left of his shattered reputation. Can't we just fucking universally shun this shit-head now? Keep reporting on his many transgressions, but stop giving the worthless cunt air-time and interviews.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We also should keep assuming he's lying. The two of them would happily fight in public and keep chatting on the phone or by email to cut back door deals for each other, if they thought it would relieve political pressure.

Remember, all they do is lie, all of every day, it's just that you don't always know about what or why. Everything in their lives is a con.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Which is exactly why we should not be listening to, reporting on or repeating anything he says unless it's under oath in one of his trials.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We can't because he bought one of the largest megaphones in existence. I hope the two tear each other apart

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We can’t because he bought one of the largest megaphones in existence

Nope. We don't hear about Musk's twitter crap from reading twitter, we hear about it only because the news media shoves it in people's faces. The news media is handing Musk his megaphone.

I hope the two tear each other apart

Yep I loathe narcistic billionaires and pay as little attention to them as possible. But when 2 of them go after each other, I do enjoy watching that.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We can all choose not to listen.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hard not to listen when he’s everywhere we fucking look.

And maybe bring up actual positive initiatives, like unionization, whenever discussions do revolve around his self-serving talking points.

Listen, it’s been a rough couple months in America. And we’re still kinda fucked, but this is really funny to watch. I think that’s how me make it through is finding moments like this to laugh at. They’re literally two toddlers who own their own social media companies posting about how they hate each other.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I like to think somewhere someone made a bet with a bookie on how long it'd take for this breakup to happen, and someone somewhere is cashing in.

Editor's Note: In fact, shit will not get real.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh, is this the editor's desk? I have some feedback about last week's Wordle.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 day ago

Don't we all bitch, I mean mitch.

Hey if anybody has Twitter, tell Elon that I hate him and love Trump, but if he drops a bunch of hard evidence I will love him and hate Trump instead.

Also, if anyone has Truth Social, tell Trump that Elon said Trump's hands are way too small to release any dirt the government has on him.

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If nothing else this ought to keep Donny up raging all night for a while and this distracted from wrecking other things.

Of course there's also the possibility that the files get 'lost' and somehow it all get's forgotten as soon as the next shiny thing wafts by.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 6 points 2 days ago

Honestly I think anything is possible right now. Trump is a sundowner, and, well, checks watch

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 19 points 1 day ago

Does that mean he knowingly brought his ~~meatshield~~ son to meet the pedo taco? I'm so shocked!

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Nothing is getting real. These clowns seems to be above the law.. there has been so many " getting real" moments already and ..it's all theater.. focus on the real needs..not the anufactuted theater

[–] Balaquina@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I mean, we all know it, but with Elon saying it, shit is indeed about to get real...

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

I admire your optimism.

Oh shit they are about to have sex!

[–] jamescrakemerani@feddit.uk 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Since Trump literally said himself that he could shoot someone, and not lose any voters, I really doubt this will damage him significantly.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Real fucking messy for the rest of us.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And a week from now they'll be buddies and fox news will say "liberals love to take words out of Elon musk's mouth"

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Exactly this. One is an idiot, the other an idiot on drugs. All of this is a waste of time.

These knives look to be getting mighty long.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I'm so excited for this catastrophe. :)

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

I’m so shocked. Look at how shocked I am: 😐

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

They could release it all now and it wouldn't matter. His supporters do not care. That has been made crystal clear at this point.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

"Suprised that biden didnt do it"

So... why did you put musk in charge of government efficiency?... did... glorious leader make a mistake? Nah impossible, its clearly a 5d chess move.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Musk is just the latest of dozens of people that Trump hired who ended up denouncing Trump later.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 2 days ago

It's that really how a First Buddy should act, Elon?

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

You are a PoS. You will be known forever as being a waste of oxygen.

Still think this is all hilarious though. Release the info if true, muskrat! Before Diaper Don has you arrested for... blah blah whatever stupid reason he makes up.

Do it, coward! DO IT!

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Next Elon needs to show the receipts for election fraud.
