Agreed. It’s definitely not theater. Nobody gains from this. Having said that, Trump will survive it just fine.

I’m really hoping this is all staged in order to take the attention off of something significant that is happening. Like maybe the arrest of numerous criminal politicians.

This isn’t theatre; it’s human folly. Especially on Trump’s part, who possesses a genius for self-harm. I realize Musk is trying to rescue his business interests, but Trump is laying it all on the line to rescue flawed legislation that solid conservatives find deeply objectionable.

What is objectionable about it? I see Rand Paul against it, and Johnson, but I don't trust their judgement.

Trump says it cuts the deficit something like 1.7 trillion per year.

What particular thing is it that people don't like about it?

That it doesn't go far enough? Are they making the perfect the enemy of the good?

it’s a huge ridiculous waste of money. people thousands of years ago knew the same or more than we know now about space.

Technology that makes our lives easier is also used to control.

We are supposed to use AI responsibly.

But it may not be possible.

Funny that the movie "Terminator" warned us about this decades ago before the technology was possible.

“I suspect Musk was getting frustrated by the lack of Republican/Trump effort to support his sacrifices to fix the government waste. I know I certainly am.”

this is a key factor. there is a lot of betrayal in that big beautiful bill.

TDS vs EDS- Those who suffer from both, have a choice made for themselves after an election cycle and 130+ days of Fedzilla service.

They can buy Teslas and Starlink and watch SpaceX launches again..

Their world is back to normal to just suffering from full on TDS again.

Trump is a speed bump, thats all. We will end up living in an Orwellian totalitarian society. It appears to be inevitable.

I hope you are wrong about that.

Just MSM trying to instigate trouble.

How would you explain Musk’s posts on X and Trump’s posts on Truth Social? The are driving the story.

Musk has enough money.

Musk sees the the Corporate software package and the Military Surveillance package that is being combined under JD Vance’s oversight to install a police state in the US that will never be overturned. Musk could not say it directly.

Trump is deliverying for the Globalists the greatest Surveillance Software ever devised.

Trump has lost my trust. Vance is there to run it thru the senate, and implement it as the future president.

>>“If Trump wants to cancel SpaceX contracts, who is he going to get to launch US government payloads?”

Who said Trump wants to cancel SpaceX contracts? Read his Truth again.

The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!


In other words, Trump is pointing out Elon’s selective outrage over government spending.

I doubt it, since they’re both part of the PayPal mafia.

Of course it is my opinion. However, I happen to be right.
