Is this fight between Trump and Musk a real thing, or just a set up that they planned for attention?

1. I could believe it is a set up, as much as I could actually buy it.

They are both psychotic egomaniacs with the inability to accept criticism or admit mistakes or realize they are the most hated men on the face of the planet. There's no formula for friendship with either one of their ugly, putrid personalities. They are scum, and that's all they have in common.

Knowing it will affect stock market values, one of these putrid uglies could be using it to his advantage.

Thus Steve Bannon and Trump 2016 only Musk is vastly more powerful than Bannon.

Two awful people that will shit on each other, but are off limits to Democrats. We never wanted Bannon and we sure as hell.dont want Trump. Hence eventually Elon will become a GOPer outside the sphere like Bannon.

unless the ground can open up under both of them at the same time and take Vance and Johnson along with them.

10. If it is a fake, I hope they try it again. It's been very entertaining watching them hiss and spit at each other.

If they start throwing real spit balls at each they could sell it to the networks as a comical soap opera.
