Trump Has No Plans to Call Musk, Officials Say, as Both Face Risks in Feud

President Trump has no plans to call Elon Musk on Friday, two Trump administration officials said, as the acrimonious blowup of their partnership left both men — who lobbed insults and threats at each other on their respective social platforms on Thursday — with a lot at risk.

Mr. Musk, the world’s richest person, who spent about $275 million helping elect Mr. Trump in 2024, had promised to give $100 million to groups controlled by the president’s team before the 2026 midterms. Those funds have yet to be delivered and are now very much in doubt. Mr. Trump not only must confront the choking-off of election support, but also the wrath of an ally-turned-foe who appears determined to undermine his standing on the right.

To say that this is embarrassing is an understatement.

To everyone watching this with a more than a bit of schadenfreude (I'm looking at you, Liberals), remember that we all suffer for this absurdity. The whole country.

And to the conservatives that elected this circus: I hope you're happy. I mean that — I hope deep down in your heart or soul or gut or whatever you use to make decisions, I hope you're content with your choice to elect Donald Trump as the president of the country that won World War II, that landed men on the moon, that built Hoover Dam. I hope you look at him and think his election was worth it, all just to make some libturds (and I agree — some of them are turds) cry.

It would be easy to give in to my anger, to give a hearty fuck you to the sniveling, smug Democrats and the aggressively stupid and spineless Republicans.

Instead, I'll let Logan Roy express my thoughts on the whole lot of you: “I love you, but you are not serious people.
