It's all Kabuki theatre [View all]

After all what have we really learned? Nothing that we didn't know before. Trump was already known to be in Epsteins passenger list, and a young woman testified he was present for at least one Epstein party. We already know that Musk is getting billions in federal contracts. So what's the point of this feud? Distraction, distraction, distraction. Distraction from that abomination of a bill currently in the Senate. Distraction from news the economy is really starting to head south. Distraction from the ever more apparent fact that this administration, and those who follow it are corrupt, cruel, and incompetent.

Oh, and it also might have a personal enrichment subplot(not uncommon for Trump shows). Yesterday Tesla stock dropped like a rock. Last night there was supposedly a "rapproachment" between the two. Voila! Tesla futures start climbing. Don't think there are a couple of guys making money off that?

All this Sturm und Drang is nothing more that Kabuki theater, a distraction designed to cover what they don't want you to see, the truth. Don't fall for it.

Maybe, but T💩p was bragging about how Eloon had the magic computers and that the MAGAts OMGWTF Jun 6 #27

I agree. Musk's contract was up, he really wasn't fired. travelingthrulife Jun 6 #10

There were a million ways to keep him on. Maybe not fired, but definitely "let go", laid off. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 6 #35
