And the thing that set Musk off was that TFG didn't appoint his friend after learning that he'd previously contributed to Democrats.

shithole and republicans knew of the donations to the Democrats.

shithole apparently was persuaded by an advisor not to appoint musk head of NASA. That in itself pissed off musk.

Every problem that the GQP have like clockwork, they blame Democrats.

I tire of this shit.

And of course the compliant mainstream media is focused on what Trump said in response to something Elon said after Trump said what he said.

Trump is CONSTANTLY "doing the weave" like a boxer dancing and avoiding punches and DIRECTING the audience's eye AWAY from some fuckery he's involved in.
