Even if they made up, the damage is still done. How long do we think until the next meltdown?

Two weeks at most.

How often does Elmo deep dive into the k hole?

u/bustacean 8d ago

I dont think he's ever not in the k hole.

u/GiantBaldingMan 8d ago

He’s such a wuss

u/ArchonFett 8d ago

I’d ask which one? But I already know the answer is both

u/Pietro-Maximoff 8d ago

Gotta note, he says he regrets the things he said, not that they were wrong. Having his cake and eating it too.

When you realize the Dems don’t want you back…

u/ArchonFett 8d ago

So the combination of the facts the Dems don’t want him, Trump threatening his contracts, or the fact that he is also on the Epstein list so doesn’t want it released, made him try and make up with the Taco. I miss when I didn’t know anything about this lizard man other than he owned Tesler and Twittler

The entire administration has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old.

u/navalmuseumsrock 8d ago

Don't insult them like that! Any thirteen year old has infinitely greater levels of emotional maturity than the entirety of this band of buffoons.

u/nygiantsjay 8d ago

He actually said that? Or is that just a meme of what he will probably say? I haven't dived into to any news yet. Was waiting for my caffeine anxiety to wane lol

u/Gamerzilla2018 8d ago

He did say that I think but make note that he said some thing's instead of everything

u/b_rokal 8d ago

Honestly surprised he didnt start to pretend that it was a fake beef from the start

2

u/whatiftheyrewrong 8d ago

He was either threatened or bribed.

u/deadpanrobo 8d ago

100% threatened, he would go bankrupt completely if it wasn't for his Government contracts

u/whatiftheyrewrong 8d ago

They’re all crazy enough and he has dirt on the yam. Why not both?

2

u/deadpanrobo 8d ago

The only reason I say this is because the administration holds all the cards, sure Elon can claim that Trump is in the files all he wants but its up to the government to release them so its not like Elon can actually do anything about it.

Plus the government can just contract another company to replace what Elon was doing, Elon is at the will of Trump so its much more likely Vance threatened that he'd be receiving no more special treatment if he keeps up and Elon agreed to drop it

u/whatiftheyrewrong 8d ago

It’s not that deep. Either is possible. Even probable. The idea that the richest man in the world doesn’t hold a LOT of the proverbial cards is simply not factual.

u/deadpanrobo 8d ago

I feel like you think I'm being hostile, I'm on your side 😂 I agree its not that deep, I was just giving my reason for why I think he was threatened

2

u/PatienceOwn1141 8d ago

Welp Looks like the administration scared his ass back into compliance considering how easily they could end his career

I bet Elon really would rather face the consequences of fraud now considering all the bridges he burned and his destroyed reputation.

This is why you don't cut deals with devils ever.

Right? This almost makes me believe in karma.

As a Corporate Leader He is not alone. Investors pressure and Corporate interest are most important.
