Not just blackmail, if either had the balls to ban twitter I don't imagine the large orange fascist would keep his mouth shut and not retaliate. So it's also extortion!
I thought him and musk had a falling out?
It was performative after Musk's sieg heil crashed Tesla sales.
Musk still donates to them I assume it's not that bad as much as Musk just needed to be told not do that thing where everyone hates him so close to Trump
Musk has already said that he intends to go all in to get Republicans elected in 2028. He and Trump's heads may be too big to fit in the same room, but he knows which side his bread is buttered on.
MUSK, ellisons, THIEL, probably the sackler family, and the couple that is giving him 600mil plus, and of course murdoch and PUTIN.
Oh, yeah, and a lot more than that. Most of those super-wealthy people don't want their names to be well-known, but that are still very active.
they staged the falling out, they are much intertwined with each other, besides epstein file implicates them both so musk has incentive to keep trump form turning against him.
