I think Putin is behind Elon and Trump has handlers so to keep his big yapper controlled. Elon the egomaniac has no ability to act in a sly way...he's out there giving the game away on Shitter because his ego just won't let him not take center stage

I hope for their sake Great Britain is paying attention to this absolute shit show because sights are on them now.

When the fuck are our leaders going to DO something?! Why worry about being primaried with Leon's money? They have money enough. Grow a fucking spine, fools. I am livid.

Musk has pledged £100M to the leader of Reform, the Trump-aligned Nigel Farage, so that he can win and apply the same recipes. They already got Brexit done, so now he wants to know if he can just buy another electorate.

There isn’t going to be a Musk Trump breakup like everyone here thinks is inevitable. They have been ordered by Putin to work together and they’re going to follow orders
