Also maybe just a stock market pump. It seems like the shit always hits the fan on Fridays when the US stock markets are the last to still be open due to time zones and it has time to stick because everyone styas closed during the weekend. So everybody gets to see the news about it hitting the fan 💩
Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over?

I’m putting 50/50 odds that it’s an intentional, theatrical distraction from other more important things that are going on, or it’s just the inevitable outcome of two malignant narcissist sociopaths being in the same room together too often. If they quickly kiss and make up I’ll lean more towards the former than the latter.

Nah, musk has said some stuff that you don’t come back from. There is no way Trump says “eh, he accused me of being a pedophile but it’s all good”.

That’s exactly my point. If they do in a few days “come back from” that and are all buddy buddy again, then I think that indicates it was just a staged performance for show and distraction and none of it was real fighting. Suggests it was all just an act. (IF they do come back from it. Which remains to be seen)
Muskrat has already backed down from a few things he said in the “heat” of the argument, like that he was going to disassemble the Dragon capsules. So I wouldn’t jump to your conclusion that they can’t possibly “come back from” this, my point is just that if they do, it was probably all just an act to begin with because I agree if it’s real, stuff was said that either one of these vindictive sociopaths is likely to forget.

I’ve found criminals and high up business people are never friends, just friends when it suits them. They’ll have HUGE fallouts then be ok with each other when they need each other. Just IME
