1) this is all set up to divert from some gawd-awful thing they are doing that they don't want discovered
2) They will only get back together if Donnie agrees to have Elon's baby.
3) Maybe Vladdy will join them for a threesome?

It is not a play to increase Muck's stock TSLA by making progressives suddenly like Muck and rush to buy Teslas. Not going to happen and TSLA is down big because of the spat and that is on the heels of a downtrend due to concerns about sales.

The Big Billionaire Bill is stupid: It is stimulative when not needed and at immense fiscal and social cost.

tRump was wounded by the Epstein link, which may pan out or remain hidden, but the claim deepens belief that the smoke indicated a fire. He is vindictive and will not forget.
