I really admire MUSK, BUT he is BATSHIT HOWARD HUGHES VISIONARY AND KNUTZ.
Trump is 99% Ego but PRAGMATIC.
Visionaries can’t handle it when they are restricted in ANY WAY.
So, I WISH they would Get Along for a LONG TERM VISION, but…
Trump is trying to manage an Entire Economy for EVERY CLASS OF while avoiding WW-III while Elon is the King of the NERDS and oblivious to mere mortals like ME.
One of them MIGHT end up saving their Urine in mason Jars and that won’t be DJT.

You know I always thought “Musk” smelled just a little funky on the Autism spectrum!
He does funny thins beyond the eccentric billionaire nutsy.

Let’s say Elon does start a third party. Trump is already in his last allowable term as President. You know the RINOs will come in and take over again as they always do after a firebrand has energized the public. They will say “Good, now that people like us again we can come in and be sellouts as we always have been.”
If the RINOs do it this time, the firebrands will have a new home and the people will follow. RINOs will loose, not the public. And the public will still be sick of the Democrats.

The last time I talked to Trump and Musk they both said they want to Make America Great Again. I believe that but I’m not sure they are playing on the same team.

Musk claims he lost his mind when his son went trans, but I’m wondering if he took to heart the lesson of that heartache. He makes a lot of babies, but he doesn’t seem to connect on the fatherhood thing — expect for “Little X”. With that child, Musk seems over-indulgent and also to use him as a kind of “mini me” for public consumption. It looks like he’s raising a wild child to me. This is all mere speculation on my part. Musk strikes me as immature and impulsive. Sometimes I believe that “on the spectrum” is just a jive excuse for immaturity and bad or anti-social behavior.

One of two things:
1. Musk got everything he needed while heading Doge, ie, information he couldn’t get outside of the government or…
2. He DID’T get all the information he wanted.
Either way, his reasons for snuggling up to Trump have dried up.

There is no denying that he’s large and in charge and a heavy weight influencer, but he needs to be dialed back. I’ve seen enough alarm bells to indicate he’s unstable. The first was the over-the-top enthusiasm what with jumping around on stage acting like a teenager at the rallies really raised an eyebrow with me. The subsequent fallout with Trump and his nutso tweets that he took back was another sign. He doesn’t think before he jumps. If he’s so gung-ho on America, starting another party is completely afoul of his stated intentions as it would only serve to put democRATz back in power again and he surely knows that, so I’m not at all sure about this guy. He’s got the IQ, but little in the maturity and demeanor department.

Here’s a thought that appeared suddenly in my head just a few minutes ago and I’m typing it out with no actual analysis, so we know it might theoretically be brilliant but it’s probably garbage.
Elon starts new party very publicly at odds with President Trump. This attracts no only RINOs from the Rep party, but also some unknown but not insignificant number of those Dems who do not suffer from DTS. Yes, there are quite a few actually.
Part of the America Party’s materials support DTS policies except of course for the selected tariffs and EV subsidies. This subtly and gradually gets those RINOs and non-DTS Dems more accepting of the rest of MAGA policy.
Then at a carefully selected point in the next campaign cycle, Elon dissolves his new party and asks members to “use their conscience” about how to vote. The RINOs will generally go back to the Rep party, but more significantly is that some of the ex-Dem non-DTS will also look more favorably on the Rep party because they now understand better what those MAGA policies actually do to benefit them (and everyone).
The net effect will be to move a fair number of ex-Dems into the Republican Party. Any further erosion of the Dems will hasten its well-earned extinction.
Yeah, that’s likely fantasyland, but it just might work.

Don’t care. Neither one has invited me over for drinks.

One day I think it’s real and the next I wonder if it’s all a show for the media and the left. On the side of it being for show is that now one can honestly say now that Elon controls Trump. So it could be a ploy.
But on the side of it being real is that niggling suspicion that Elon TRIED to control Trump and it backfired. Big time. He may not have even done it intentionally. What ya have to remember is that Elon isn’t just a billionaire but one that builds and fixes things. And he thought he was going to fix the government. The government now includes Trump. So if the break is real, not sure the distance is coming from Elon but Trump. Because he IS the President. And not someone who can be controlled in the first place.
It’s a puzzle though.

can’t honestly say 🙄

Musk is playing it bad. For all our sakes, he and Trump need to reconcile. It’s in Musk’s hands: he’s caused the rift.

Theatrics, distraction, Independent Ross Perot, Jimmy Carter elected, Department of Education created, 20% interest Rates, lines to buy expensive gasoline, economic misery, CIA supports the Ayatollah, Carter does too, Carter’s IRAN indecision and mismanagement allowed a key U.S. ally to crumble, Iran goes belly up, 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, disastrous rescue attempt that resulted in the deaths of eight servicemen, Panama Canal given away.
Elon, is a 3rd party good for the Nation?
What could possibly go wrong?
History could very well repeat itself or worse.

It is fake. All theater. The purpose of DOGE was not to save money. It was to get rid of as many humans from the government as possible in a short as time as possible to being in AI Governance. AI.gov went live yesterday.
A.I. is the ultimate usurpation and abdication of the dominion mandate. The earth, and this dimension, is not its natural home. It requires electricity – and a LOT of it (get ready for power outages, to be blame-shifted on other factors, like cyber attacks). The earth IS OUR NATURAL HOME, CREATED BY GOD. We can grow here. We can survive here. Even without electricity, we can cut down a tree and provide here. OUR HOME. OUR DOMINION – IN THE NAME OF JESUS – who, btw is coming back. A.I. cannot survive without electricity. WE CAN.
AI did not come from humans.
I voted for Ross Perot the first time he ran and we got friggin’ Bill Clinton and the Hildebeast instead.

She’s wrong.
Elon is flipped out. Yes he knew about Trump’s positions but not having experience negotiating with someone of Trump’t caliber thought that he could overcome them at least partially by (1) being a real asset and doing things that would make Trump feel a little beholden, and (2) getting a side benefit of getting in ahead of other Big Techies, and (3) at the very least, read Trump’s agreement with “going to Mars” and Space Force stuff and praise for Starlink and SpaceX exploits as Trump being likely to turn over NASA et al. to Musk.
When Trump didn’t do this, and in fact booted Musk’s boy Jared Isaacson from nomination to head NASA, while leaving Thiel/Vance in place vis a vis AI and updating fed computer systems etc., that was the last straw.
Got to understand these guys, and Musk epitomizes the zenith. The entire globe is a giant virtual game; they are jockeying for points and their name at the top as high scorer. They want to see futuristic stuff, the sci-fi they absorbed as kids, Star Trek and so forth, in their lifetimes. Not interested in the mundane world of politics and peasants. Do Not Relate. Why isn’t science advancing faster. Who cares about this or that country’s politics. Why don’t we have a permanent space station on the moon, why aren’t we already mining Mars, where are the medical breakthroughs for the past 50 years, why aren’t we flying around like the Jetsons or at least with self-driving cars…
These are the things the Big Techies talk about. These are people who can wake up in the morning in Miami or San Francisco and decide to meet up for lunch in Paris and doing so involves no more hassle or interruption to what else they are doing and thinking about (because someone else takes care of it ALL) than than making one phone call and going up to the heliport or out to the limo.
Yes. He’s seriously aggrieved.

Like Vivek, I don’t think Elon gets politics. He doesn’t get the perfect is the enemy of the good. At least, that’s the way it appears.
But notice, what little comfort the Lefties get comes largely from the feud. Looks an awful lot like what we used to call a fake out.
NB The Libertarians tried to be a third party, where are they now? Doctrinaire types don’t usually fly in American politics.
All this said, Elon just announced 30 minutes ago that he’s starting a 3rd party. Which would massively benefit Dems.
