Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The thing is, Musk clearly has some kompromat on Trump, and he can't really throw Musk under the bus without Musk firing back to hurt Trump.
Bannon has been kicked to the curb and is unhappy about it, but frankly, Musk knew how to play the game and get the dirt so Trump can't push back without having Musk reveal the truth of the matter.
My guess is evidence Musk helped him cheat in the election and that Harris would have actually won.
Kind of like in 2004 and the Dems just let it slide then instead of trying to prove it.
I doubt that Musk has anything on Trump. Much more likely is Trump having a lot of reasons to like and admire Musk:
Trump is weak and just sucks up to anyone powerful. Doesn’t matter if it’s Putin, Musk, Erdogan, or Kim Jong Un.
Oh, for sure! But Musk also has a lot of other qualities that Trump likes, besides being powerful.
Does Musk like McDonalds, too?
Probably!
