Yes Trump has a following and is a force by himself. But Trump can't carry the entire Republican party. We saw it in all the races he tried to sway besides his own. With his current poll numbers and the Republics not doing anything to fix all this chaos, Trump isn't going to be able to keep midterms going his way by calling all the candidates stupid names.

I'm saying that Musk provided funding to make sure things finished the way they wanted party wide. If Trump pisses off Musk enough with a fraction of 1% of his worth he could take out any Republic midterm contest. Musk can find legitimate political scientists and fund them to swing a lot of elections. Where as Trump seems to only be able to find the most incompetent to work for him.

i miss my phone that also had FM radio built in.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

i switched when phones dropped the jack but just recently went USB to 3.5mm. Sadly both are crap.

Honestly I'm going to look into a media device again.

That reminds me of an article from back in the late 90's or early 00's about how much of the money he did make came from other people using him basically. They would talk him into projects and make him think it was his idea. He was such an easy mark and now we are starting to see it. Simply making fun of him will cause him to double down, major ass kissing will make him like you.

because Musk was the financial force behind Trump winning. The fact Musk could completely take over all of the ad space on TV and social media and still be the world's richest man is something Trump knows. If Musk wanted to primary a ton of Republicans he could.

It makes more and more sense that he failed to keep a casino afloat.

yeah i think Trump is afraid of Musk. So far he has not said anything negative about Musk, hasn't said he was fired. Trump just keeps bending over.

And don't forget, their sales numbers are down world wide so much of his bad press is just about him being a Nazi and what not. That doesn't go away when he leaves DC.

When your boss takes a vacation it's not in your best interest to yell obscene remarks as he drives away.

I believe the term is pulling an Elon

The problem with all of those in Trump's circle, they all are good at destruction while having absolutely no real talent in business. Aside from providing funding, Elon has in no way brought any sort of business skill to grow his companies.

He lost money because he showed he is a Nazi and had no plan for how to actually take advantage of taking out regulators beyond the idea he has no rules anymore.
