What’s your over/under on Trump/Musk?
-
My theory on Musk is that he sees Trump as a vehicle for disrupting the woke bullshit that caused the falling out with his kid. So it's possible he doesn't want to get that involved. I mean, it'd be very stupid if he were to get more entangled. I think it's possible he knows that but I don't know how likely that is, either.

One may get expedited approvals/subsidies for various spacefaring and satellite communication items.
When the fallout happens, the other will say of the former: "I have helped him make so much money, and this is how that ungrateful traitor repay me?! It is so unfair!"

My guess is somewhere between one and two years. Certainly before midterms.
Agree. Musk is smart and a very good innovator and being able to think outside the box. But like so many, he has found that he loves being famous.
It will be difficult for him to be a subordinate and that will eventually cause problems between him and President Trump.

I think they’re a bunch of cunts. Is that controversial?
