And Trump officially throws Elon under the bus

Besides EVs, the other thing Trump mentions is Elon being mad they nixed his guy for NASA

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a bunch more. The “Tech Right” was never a real part of the coalition, just tools for MAGA to use.

I suspected Johnson prob ran this message by WH first. Seems much more likely now, maybe even using him as test balloon to try it out.

Trump really doubling down and going extra hard on Elon saying he was ok with the bill and only changed tone due to EV $$$

Epic prediction post

the unfortunate thing is “picking a republican to run nasa” virtually guarantees that they pick a retard. and they’ll pick a retard in a domain like rocketry where politics matters little

It’s funny how Trump is trying to get Vance and Rubio to back him up. They must have been quite anxious off camera there, knowing they don’t want to get on Elon’s bad side for their 2028 ambitions.

If I remember correctly, you predicted this last year itself with good reasoning. Even Elon has QTd this now with a strong reply just now - so the cracks seem formidable now.

No I predicted this very wrong and thought they’d stay as allies due to Trump’s political power and Elon’s financial/business power being very valuable for each other. But turned out to be much more transactional and once they got their core priorities that was that.

that’s the nicest trump throwing someone under the bus I’ve ever seen; he’s definitely afraid of losing the tech right’s capital
