Musk has no interpersonal skills. He made the art of the conning obvious rather than being able to distract from it. They realized letting him into their inner circle was a huge mistake, but that he has a fragile incel ego... so they kept looking for a way to let him go gently, hoping he won't realize that even Republicans think he's a loser. I've got to admit that if they find a way to do it will actually help Trump, but I think the damage has already been done.

Solid analysis, esp at the end :/

The real question is DOGE idiocy will actually stop and who will take over if not

Or did musk manage to get the info he needed so they won and now just using this break up as cover?

He ain't got trump sway IMHO

Maga mouth breathers only accepted him BC daddy said so.

Seeing them get twisted in the knot explaining their support for tesla now is prime comedy 🐸

ramasworthy let musk take the lead because he knew it would be deeply unpopular.
