Summary

A Politico report revealed that Elon Musk privately called Donald Trump “a f***ing moron” before a 2020 White House meeting about a Tesla factory.

Musk also mocked the White House’s “outhouse” appearance compared to China’s, irritating Trump. Despite initial tensions, they agreed that COVID was overblown.

Musk later left Trump’s advisory councils over climate policy but reconciled after donating to the GOP.

Their relationship remains rocky, with Trump reportedly saying, “What the f--- is wrong with this guy? And why doesn’t his shirt fit?” after Musk’s odd behavior at a 2024 rally.

Thank god you censored fuck but why are there three asterisks there?

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

The third one is a space. It's "fuck king"

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Literally shaking rn.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They’re forking. It’s sad honestly when they could just spoon and hash it out like brojob buddies

Edit: that’s the same amount of letters. I still stand by my comment

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Fracking? 🤷‍♂️

We don't all call them fukkking morons? What do you call the dumbest white supremacists?

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Obviously it’s because I went to the international skool of Trump speling and bigly economics. I majored in as***ics and phonix’es

You can feel the super homo gay tension in the room between these guys.

They must have very angry man on man sex, when they’re not draining the cum swamp.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm cool with gay tension and man-on-man sex. It's not my cuppa, but if you're into and everyone consents, have at it, I say.

I know the pictured assholes would feel like they were being insulted, though.

Musk isn’t very smart, but he is smart enough to know the bar he has to jump is fucking low.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The bar is 5 miles underground.

Edit: And sinking.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An underground tunnel, if you will. A very boring underground tunnel. Kinda loopy.

The kind that you propose in the interest of trying to fuck over California rail so you can sell more teslas, but then it happens anyway

It would be sick as hell if I could just take BART from Modesto or Stockton and get down to San Diego in under 6-8 hours.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey look! Musk finally said something that's 100% accurate!

But also: It takes one to know one.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Simulation Programmer: delete these two please. We’re done with them.

[–] medicsofanarchy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I've been saying, "Computer: End program" for a while now. Hasn't worked yet, but you never know...

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Oh my god he admit it. (Yet still elected him)

[–] ytsedude@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

That's why he elected him.

[–] _LordMcNuggets_@feddit.org 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump is there to serve one function only. Musk won him the election, and now POTUS is Musk's puppet. They don't have to get along, it's a partnership. He famously said, "stealing an isn't difficult, it only requires changing one line of code".

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Musk didn’t win him shit. Trump was going to win no matter what.

Only reason Musk is around is because Trump’s presidency is for sale. He made a lot of money off Musk’s “donations”.

In exchange for that donation was giving Musk his position and his unofficial powers.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's morons all the way down, it seems.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

it's by design. they're easier for their masters to manipulate.

[–] Absaroka@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

He knows. They can smell their own.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Trying to figure out what kind of 'buddy' vibe they are trying to go for here, Frodo and Samwise, or Ren and Stimpy.

Musk says he's going to destroy the woke mind virus. So he's now a tool for Trump to use.
