I'm on X a lot because it's a great source for videogame and AI news. The Cow is super popular on Mario Kart World BTW. Elon Musk is posting a lot, and President Trump is responding.
It hit me this morning that this is what an actual adult argument looks like. We are so accustomed to Kayfabe, it's weird to not see it. We are accustomed to people locking each other up, sending out assassin's and rioting that two men with a disagreement is bizarre. They are countering each other, and chatting it up, but I'm also noticing that they're starting to get deals and more conversation about what to do. I get the feeling that Trump doesn't like the big bill, but it's all Republicans he supports. He's willing to cut it down if the argument is good enough.
Musk, is making demands and saying he's willing to scrap stuff, but he's also proposing making a new party. That's what hits me. There is a bit of tism sperging, but I actually agree. What if Musk started a new party that took over for the left. It's moved the conversation window away from the insanity, and we can have actual disagreements. Our country likes the Kayfabe, but is always expecting a Civil War at any minute. Getting away from that would be really nice.
I don't think that it's some big secret, but I bet that Trump and Musk would agree to be political opponents like this. It gets them more of what they want, and less of the insanity they've had to deal with. People have destroyed Musk's cars and threatened his employees. Trump has a scar on his face from a sniper bullet and a mug shot. They both had to prove the left was insane.
My wife and I don't always agree on things. Sometimes, we have to say hard things at each other. It freaks out my son because he grew up in broken homes that were always destroying themselves. I've had to give him a hard talk last night because he's going to be big like me, and there's a lot of rules he needs to learn now before someone flips out and assaults him for being angry.
So, what if it's the same here? We're not accustomed to adults arguing so we're expecting the big terrible stuff. The adults will find a way to actually get stuff done, and many won't understand how it works.
If you think this is how adults argue, you've been spending too much time around women.
As far as Elon starting a political party goes, I don't care. Musk has never been trustworthy. He was always in this for himself. He proved it with his H1B spergout, and he's proving it again by having a meltdown when his precious EV mandates are taken away.
Musk is not just another corporate communist: he's the Chairman of the Corporate Communists. The one and only thing he's ever been good at is market manipulation. He reads the way the wind is blowing and builds his grift accordingly. He made his first billions by jumping on the Climate Doomer EV train just as the globalists really started pushing them and made himself rich off of government grants and the share price windfall he got from them. Then he did the same with his space grift, and then when he saw the attitudes of the majority moving away from progressivism, he leapt aboard the Trump train to see what he could get out of it, and now he's throwing a tantrum because he didn't get his way.
I would vote for gay race communism before I vote for the techbro-opoly. At least the wokists are stupid. The last thing we need is totalitarians running the show who are actually competent.
