So either Trump thought the best way to send a message to Elon was to publicly post it on social media, and specifically on Truth Social rather than Twitter, or Trump mistakenly thought his Truth Social app was his texting app. Did I miss any possibilities there?

Sorry right-right but tech-right done won. They got DOGE and Trump never needs your vote again. Game over.
Well Trump might not need their votes ever again, the GOP as a whole does and if they're being treated like this....

Ironbite-they might just stay home in 2028.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Hahaha, no. They have the memory of mayflies, and the survivors will turn out in record numbers to vote for trump again.

Saw an article today that called Lara Loomer an "investigative journalist" and I almost threw up a bit. It wasn't a right wing publication either, but a local newspaper. Why the hug is anyone giving her any hint of legitimacy?!

The tech bros DESPERATELY want intelligent people to actually build their products, but also DESPERATELY do not want to pay american wages to get them. They're keeping the wages as low as they can by relying on the h-1b visas, threatening the people they bring in with sending them back home, and forcing the industries reliance on it by funding the people that want to destroy american public education.

So they want those jobs filled, just not with americans: because americans are too expensive. Ol' musky said it himself: "if you need a school, you've already lost".
And that's just a stopgap until they can hand all the jobs over to AI. And realistically, the right right doesn't care about hiring Americans either; they just care about not hiring not-Americans, so they can both get what they want if they just speedrun the transition to AI.

And there's still no plan for what the peasants are supposed to do for a living instead.

Trump actually does have some people in his orbit who are interested in UBI, or at least they were during Covid. McConnell was the main roadblock there.

Why would there be? Peasants, by their nature, are disposable.

Now, slaves are valuable, and America has a thriving prison-industrial system to turn peasants into slave labour.

Specifically he thinks he's President Trump, a man who routinely gets "President" mixed up with "dictator".

It's almost deliberate. Like he's trying to be as outrageously stupid as possible. I swear I have never seen anyone burn through goodwill the way this guy does.

He's like the nerd who made good, but now he's purchased the hair, the chin, paid people to help him get the body and now he's acting like every jock douche you knew in school who thought they were cool because they had the car and the cheerleader, but just couldn't hide how big of an asshat he is.

Space Wanker adopting explicitly far-right imagery like that, I suspect it’s a reaction to the MAGAts calling him a traitor for accepting the need for immigration – even being in favour of very strictly controlled immigration goes against the ideological purity of hardcore MAGA.

The MAGA masses are driven by xenophobia, Tech-bros are driven by greed. One sees immigrants as something to be eliminated, the other sees them as something to be enslaved..... Let the rift between them grow. It'll give those who actually think all humans should be treated with respect and dignity a chance to pull things in the right direction while they are distracted.
