There it is. In the war of narcissist v narcissist, we knew he’d say this.

Edit: Have a nice day DJT!

What a couple of douche canoes.

What would haven been even funnier for Musk to say is "Without me, Trump would have lost, again."

[-] Lembot_0003@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

War of roses? Nah, now it is a war of narcisses. How floweryshly cute. Mimimi...

When the World's Richest Man who spent a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS on ONE Candidate says "without me he would have lost", what does that mean?

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 98 points 1 week ago

"I bought him fair and square, but now he's defective. Can I get a refund?"

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

Also, we're not in a democracy anymore.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance took off like one of SpaceX’s rockets. It was supercharged and soared high. And then it blew up.

AP news is hiring comedians it seems

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

They just have no interest in being nice and giving him the benefit of a doubt since they're on the administrations shit list.

If other outlets had backbones this is just what journalism looks like.

Is he implying he manipulated the election? Or does it just sound like it?

[-] Coskii 69 points 1 week ago

For once in my life, I want musk to say more.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago

I want him to say much more. Starting with "No! Not there bees!"

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Why would he openly admit to a crime of such magnitude? He's an idiot, but he's not THAT much of an idiot. He wouldn't incriminate himself.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 week ago

Incriminate himself? He's far too rich for that to matter.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 18 points 1 week ago

Then And if he did, it wasn't that bad. And if he did, that's not a big deal. And if did, that's not his fault. And if it was, he didn't mean it. And if he did, america deserved it.

[-] LavaPlanet@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

He knows he's too rich to ever be convicted of anything. He just bought a president and a whole country of his own. He's drunk with power and thinks he's invincible.

It's a bitter feeling that the best defense the US has against a fascist takeover is the incompetence and narcissism of the ones doing the taking over.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 week ago

Hitler's cabinet was full of these kinds of people too, and he still managed to do a lot of damage. It's not much of a protection.

[-] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 52 points 1 week ago

I've been waiting for this shit for months lol.

Sounds election interferry

[-] iglou@programming.dev 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Election interference? Nah, it's endorsement

Corruption? Nah, it's lobbyism

As a French, I'll never understand how this shit is legal in the USA. We've sued presidents for much less than that.

I will never forgive or forget Musk becoming a Nazi but God damn is this fight between these two going to be entertaining as fuck. Musk has to have dirt on him.

I'm not rooting for either side I hope both sides destroy each other but damn I got to say I'm sort of a teensy bit on musk's side right now. Just because my hatred for Trump is greater and if there's going to be someone that brings him down it's going to be Musk

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I fondly remember celebrity deathmatch. I'm not cheering either of them, I just wanna see the blood.

Somebody has to dare him to prove it, and maybe he'll show how he rigged the voting counts in the swing states.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Let's hope they do a mutually assured destruction of each other.

The egos are big enough.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 31 points 1 week ago

I would pay to see them in a cage match lol

And yes, slaanesh is right.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 1 week ago

And yes, slaanesh is right.

Yes, Inquisitor. This one right here.

As wealth becomes concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, we know the oligarchs will soon be fighting over the last of the scraps.

Unfortunately, we are those scraps.

Oh, so he's to blame

Shouldn't Child Protective Services be all over him right now? How can he be allowed to continue doing so much heavy drugs, with his little kids in the next room??

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
