Cynically, I do wonder if this was just another publicity stunt to keep them both in the news. It is one of the reasons I never (or at least rarely) comment on social media about politicians I don't concur with. Negative publicity is still publicity. The algorithms are set to pick up and promote engagement in whatever form. The biggest insult we can offer is to ignore them. Still, I do love the brilliant sarcasm on this site.

And they all make money on the bouncing stock market!

Have you noticed that it typically declines more than retail could make it do, when it's the last few days feasible for people selling stock to pay monthly bills?

Rebel Nun's avatar

I hadn’t noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out.

Elon actually said that without him Trump wouldn’t have won, and I suspect it wasn’t just about the money we know about………….. after all as Trump said “Elon knows computers”

Nick Winney's avatar

"Elon knows about computers ...so many computers"

Lynn's avatar

Don't leave out that the Leftists know computers, too!

They don't have an Elon at their disposal though it seems.

Rebel Nun's avatar

Then why didn’t we win? Hah!

Lynn's avatar

Because, the Republicans showed up in masses. Don't you know we made it too BIG to rig. We did it the honest way and VOTED!

MAGA is NOT fascist. My husband came from Communist Hungary. He can tell you what fascist means.

What about JOE promoting the Twitter. All of the news media. Those are the real fascists.

Who cares what trump says or the other. reason why trump won election was X being bought and tucker being swap there. So whoever would have done the buying move of elon would be the trump savior. Doesnt need computing for that, just shit load of cash.

I bet he knows more piano then comps with all these videos of 3 weeks ago about is play against nikolai at the davis halls for helena. I cant find the play but i sure find loads of story telling it.

Anyone ever heard musk play that piano song? Heres example. I look for the duo duel live

Please god of chaos or godess of mischief, please make them keep up their public exchanges and may the deep state be cleansed of a thousand years of vitriol. If that doesnt work can Elon just leak the Epstein papers before Peter Thiel stages his coup.

They should have a duel.

To the death.

Last man standing wins

Winner gets death penalty for murder.

I have been suspicious of Elon ever since I learnt he is a.) South African and b.) Can't spell 'Noel' correctly. Just because you're raised with servants who'll do your spelling for you is no excuse. Of course, I have been suspicious of Turmp for even longer than that. No man named after a Bridge hand can be remotely trustworthy. And then these two suspicions got together, and made me wonder: WTF? But big time. In what perverted, sad and uncivilised world could two such plainly self-seeking parasites so vilely affect people's lives? What happened to all the 'protections' wise, good, people built into the system to prevent rapine and oppression? Even before DOGE made government an even more efficient tool for screwing ordinary people? Has greed made modern society too sick to survive? Of course it has. The greatest greed in the universe is genocide, snuffing out lives to satisfy a lust for land, of which Noel and Turmp, and their hideous ilk all heartily approve, because, of course, for money.

DOGE isn't an official government department, only Congress has the power to create new government departments (which made me wonder why so many just accepted their authority; they didn't have any). The same goes for EOs (Executive Orders). They're only binding to the executive branch, at least until they're fatigued by Congress.

No Laura, you've clearly missed the subtle nuances at play when very stable geniuses communicate.

A court has already accepted Elon's assertion that 'pedo guy' is a term of endearment when used by a South African like him.

So when he suggested Donald Trump was on the client list of an underage sex slave trafficker he was obviously trying to kiss and make up.

Very few?

Err, so exactly how many people do you have to traffic as sex slaves to qualify as a sex slave trafficker?

I agree the terms 'sex slave' and 'sex trafficking' are abused - especially in the US - to delegitimise the experiences and public statements of sex workers. But I still think Epstein was a sex slave trafficker - primarily by virtue of the massive disparity in power between him and his clients on one hand and those who 'worked' for him on the other.

I guess the dichotomy is a function of the take-no-prisoners viciousness of the US culture wars. The corporate libertarians insist everyone is free regardless of how many opportunities and choices are denied them by those with more wealth and power. The liberals think anyone who isn't like them is having their freedom to be the same as them forcibly denied by some oppressor or another.

ELLEN CRADICK's avatar

Laura, you've created a much needed and long overdue new verb ie "to get suicided".

The Revolution Continues's avatar

It's been around for a while now in the US. Sometimes it's called "to get Epsteined" or "To be Clintoned" (after Hillary who seemed to make people disappear).

Next up for splitsville? The Donald and the US Army when he realizes their Big Beautiful Birthday Parade is taking the piss and doesn't have a thousand tanks.

Yes. And they hate him.

The histories of both Britain and the US are crammed with thieves who, in most cases, would have been jailed as criminals if they had been you or I.

👏🏻

You're supposed to pretend the US is a democracy, but Elon admitted that without his $290 million investment, Trump would have lost, and the other evil would have won, meaning everything would have been exactly the same.

Hetty in Scotchland ;-)'s avatar

Except the Dems wouldn't have crashed everything that keeps the people able to eat, stay safe from hurricanes, not die due to lack of healthcare and for the folks on the ISS to be able to get to and from Earth etc.

Michael Vigne's avatar

Hurricane provision in the US has been poor for a long time - that is no excuse for what happened in NC but a continuation of a theme. I went through New Orleans to offshore after Katrina. Many of the staff at the hotel for my overnight stay were living in their cars. It was a disaster area with no support that I could see apart from the mandated curfew - I got into a bar on Bourbon Street until 4 am and was blissfully unaware that any curfew existed. I was on the ship that righted Thunderhorse incidentally.

The return trip via SpaceX was agreed in August of last year while Biden was in office. Neither Biden or Trump had anything to do with what was a NASA decision. They elected not to use Boeing for the return journey owing to multiple (from memory 3 out of 5) thruster failures. Trump made it political by claiming credit for something that had already been agreed and Musk did not bother to correct him.

Actually think this might be my favourite ever, and you have done some corkers... Well done and thank you Laura!

Lisa Savage's avatar

Excellent! Hard to separate fact from satire in this one because I stepped away from the internet for a couple of hours yesterday to go to a bookstore. I won't make that mistake again!

Loic's avatar

Was thinking the same, didn’t know which part was a joke whilst reading!!

Mel's avatar

Mossad will be upset if Elon leak the Epstein collection of pictures and videos of Donald Trump with underage.....

For sure Melanija Knavs Trump will get berserk.

Very funny. Everything, is indeed up for sale, but unfortunately it is not just in the US system.
