    Trump already addressing it at his pep rallies, with the insecure overacting about how he is so unconcerned.

    Tick tock…

    That’s similar to a vote of confidence from the AD or GM.

    I see Musk getting bored with the situation and then get distracted with something else.
    Leaving Trump to finish his 4 years and hopefully never hearing from him again.

    The war has started and MAGA Congress' favorite stripper, Laura Loomer, has fired several salvos. She called Musk "a stage 5 clinger who over stayed his welcome at Mar a Lago" and "a total (redacted) drag on the Trump transition". She also posted "Don't worry guys. The divorce is coming soon."

    This will be fun to watch.

    Wow, major split. This is the kind of conflict that djt loves to precipitate and then watch, even between his juniors.

    MAGA is jealous that grandpa Trump is giving other children his attention. It's funny that any of these coattail riding Trumper cucks would call someone else a "Clinger" ... look in the mirror, dummy.

    I encourage everyone to watch that entire video. There are also some less than flattering quotes about Americans as his justification for why the US needs to let more Indian engineers enter the United States. Loomer has some downright insulting comments about India/Indians

    I'll give you 250B reasons why it won't. And then there's Musk's plan to make sure Tesla's Chinese empire is safe from any kind of sanctions or negative effects of the tariff plan. Don't worry, Trump's an even-handed grifter. Timmy Cook, bent the knee and will also be protected. Which means his tariffs are going to be pretty much worthless.

    The trump-musk bromance is splintering. Elon is weary of MAGA.

    https://www.axios.com/2024/12/27/elon-musk-contemptible-fools-maga-doge

    lon Musk condemned a segment of the MAGA movement as "contemptible fools" who should be purged from the Republican Party in a social media post Friday


    A virtual right-wing civil warhas broken out over race, class, immigration and the future of President-elect Trump'smovement, and Musk is increasingly at odds with Trump's historic base.

    • The schism may force Trump to ultimately take sides between the largely white, working-class supporters who first made MAGA succeed, and the techno-libertarian billionaires like Musk who are at the center of his new administration.

    Ghost President Musk will terminate his relationship with Puppet President Trump whenever he feels like it.

    OBERKOCHEN, Germany—Executives at Zeiss SMT, which makes indispensable components to build the world’s most powerful semiconductors, got some troubling news last fall. Headhunters from Huawei Technologies, the Chinese tech firm, were trying to poach its employees.

    Staff with access to sensitive Zeiss know-how received LinkedIn messages, emails and calls from Huawei representatives, offering them up to three times their salaries to join the Chinese company, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
    Chinese firms are focusing on several tech hubs, including Taiwan, parts of Europe and Silicon Valley. Some obscure their Chinese origins by forming local ventures that hire the employees to avoid drawing attention from local officials, authorities say.
