There's a lot more to it than that but I'm sure people will have been quietly following this/weeping.

Thoughts?

Permanent and irreparable fracture in MAGA? Really it was only a matter of time before the salt-of-the-earth economic Republican MAGAs realised that tech/property billionaires like Trump and especially Musk are, in fact, not champions of the common man but are (surprise!!) primarily focussed on ... ... ... billionaires.

My favourite episode so far was the one where Musk earnestly explained to the angry MAGAs that there isn't enough intellectual talent in the US to fill the roles so they simply HAVE to import it from Asia. Screaming .

It's up there with him going on X and telling the core veins-running-red Republican base that if they don't like it they can "go fk themselves". Chef's kiss Christmas material.

How's TiBB feeling about it?

Like I said not much chatter usually Trump and Musk stuff does good numbers on here .

That's definitely some interesting information.

I don't get how anyone falls for Trump or Musk tbh, they just say what makes some people feel better, rather than the actual truth.
