        That’s been on my mind for a while now. They’re both assholes who can’t listen to “no” without throwing a fit. They’re eventually going to disagree on something, and it’s going to turn nasty.

        So I’ll be ready with popcorn for when it eventually happens. Fascism always destroys itself, just not before killing everything it can.

          The other option is 4 yrs Trump followed by 2x4yrs Musk, and I think this is possible.

          I think they’re generally just capable enough to not casually make enemies of each other, as they’re both very influential people. They do speak the language of power and money.

          But also they are both egomaniacs that choose strange hills to die on. So I could see an ill-advised falling-out.

          Side note, I hate that as a society we’re forced to waste any degree of attention on these thoroughly awful people.
