MAGAs, who’s your Jesus now? Trump or Musk?

Elon Musk on Tuesday tore into the massive tax-and-spending-cut bill backed by President Donald Trump, calling it a "disgusting abomination" that will explode federal budget deficits.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," Musk wrote in a post on X, his social media site.

"This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," the Tesla and SpaceX CEO added.

"Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," wrote Musk, who until last week led the Trump administration's DOGE effort to cut government spending and waste.

I realize that most of you aren’t smart enough to make a decision, but what say you? TACO or Musk? With all the crap you’ve been spewing how are you going to pick one?

Wheeeeeeee!

This is all over MSM TV this morning! Doubt it's on FOX however.

Actually the Fox News app is where I first saw it.

Personally, I find your Jesus reference offensive... but turning the question around, who is the Dems political saviour? Is it Crockett? Hakeem Jeffers? AOC? Sanders? The Minnesota governor? All pretty laughable...

Well, get over it. I find Trump offensive.

And I don’t have a human Jesus.

Nor do I. Which was my point. You paint with a VERY wide brush

How come we don’t have the “usual suspects” commenting on this?
We’re really interested in wher you stand. Trump or Musk?
Of course the chickens#@ts on this board have me blocked, so there’s that.

They want everyone to hear their opinion, but they don’t have any interest in hearing somebody else’s.

I would appreciate if somebody would quote:comment on this. That way the chickens#@ts will see it and respond.

I am in Elon’s corner on this one, FEDGOD spending is outlandish.

I didn't respond yesterday, because I didn't have the facts to have an informed opinion. I still don't know enough about the spending bill, but it does seem apparent to me that Musk is upset about losing the subsidies and EV mandates from the Green New Scam.

When it comes to politics I'm never 100% sure of anything but I'm pretty sure this is accurate.

Anyone who thinks Trump supporters will abandon him and cling on to Musk is clueless.

Yes, of course we want less government spending, but Trump has to live in the real world of essentially a 50/50 House and a 53/47 Senate.

And he has to think about the economy, financial markets, all types of relationships around the world..all while those very close numbers of Congressional losers are only interested in their own re-election.

We all supported Trump when he decided to bring Musk in because we knew that is what our favorite President wanted.

I still look forward to some of the Doge cuts being implemented, and hopefully a longer term future Doge plan.

But right now Musk is acting like a spoiled child. He had the President’s ear like no one else, and chose to screw it all up.

What a dopey genius.

So, what are you saying, BT, that this feud was just an act?

This may have been the 1st time anyone ever had the guts to tell him the truth.
He usually surrounds himself with flacks, yes men, and other lackies and such. Not to say he's much different than most presidents.

FWIW, which isn't a whole lot, I notice that in the midst of an apparently acrimonious dissolving of the relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, none of the X accounts in the Trumpian orbit have been blocked, suspended, or deleted.

I don’t know about the Trump orbit, but I tried to get on X the other day and my account had been suspended for violating the rules. The funny thing is that I’ve never attempted to post anything on X, and probably posted on Twitter only once when I first set up the account a few years ago.

That seems to sum it up nicely.
