The relationship was never going to last. One partner was a gold digger, while the other was psychologically unable to accept being second in command. I don’t have to tell you which is which. It goes deeper than that. The gold digger is incapable of receiving criticism and is a habitual liar. The other had several businesses falling apart, and eventually figured out he was being taken advantage of.
Some couples go back and forth, hoping against hope to make it work for the sake of the kids. The problem in this case is that neither man even superficially gives a damn about the kids. They are a blended family with kids of their own before they got together. One had 77,000,000 voters in the last election. The other has 250,000,000 X followers whom he believes obey him, but that has never been tested.
This isn’t an amicable divorce, and nobody will be able to remain friends with both. The “kids” they share in the marriage are the election officials needing the blessing of one and the money of the other. One thing to weigh is the longevity of the parents. One is 78 years old and a cheeseburger away from a stroke, the other regularly consumes illegal drugs, including ketamine, ecstasy, and mushrooms. They are demanding that their children in common pick sides publicly and promising to cut them off if they choose the other.
“Some food for thought as they ponder this question. Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years.” — Elon Musk
Elon Musk has unfollowed people on X, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and far-right podcaster Charlie Kirk. Miller was unfollowed after calling into Kirk’s streaming show, saying he was “saddened” by Musk’s abandonment of Trump.
Donald Trump’s “kids” have done much of the talking, indicating they never liked their stepfather Musk anyway.
“What people need to remember is that, you know, this is President Trump’s movement,” said CJ Pearson
“The least surprising thing I’ve ever seen," added Matthew Boyle. "We were all ready for this from the beginning.”
The politicians will have it tougher because Musk had already threatened many of them with funding primary challengers should they not do Trump’s bidding while they were a team. Now that they’ve divorced. The same threat may be applied to those who choose Trump.
Trump routinely cuts off the kids when they don’t obey him. He is in his second term as president and, at least for now, is barred from running again according to the Constitution. Every Senator and Congressman will be asked which parent they choose, saying they love both parents won’t do.
Musk publicly accused Trump of being included in the Epstein files, which can’t be swept under the rug. Trump previously promised to release the names of pedophiles in Epstein’s network, but never did.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” — Elon Musk
The MAGA crowd has long demanded the release of the Epstein files, hoping to see the names of left-wing politicians and supporters like Bill Clinton and Bill Gates. They’ve drooled about the day the other side would be publicly shamed, possibly facing criminal charges. Trump has yet to publicly respond to the accusation,” with supporters like Alex Jones saying he’d better speak up.
“Trump needs to respond ASAP," said Jones "I notice he did not take questions at his public meeting today.”
The kids have always had to walk the line without being associated with the racism and misogyny espoused by both their parents. Trump and Musk, in the past weeks, have shared a video about thousands of graves of white South African farmers, when there were no bodies buried at the site. When still a couple, they ambushed the South African president to promote their theory of racism against white people. Maybe one day they’ll look back on things like that they once enjoyed together.
In the meantime, Trump has threatened to pull billions of dollars in Musk’s federal contracts, and Steve Bannon wants to see Musk deported as an illegal immigrant.
“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” said Bannon.
I see one of the kids has taken sides.
