Nota bene: Elon Musk has committed 2 cardinal sins in Trump world. He upstaged him; and is now responsible for an embarrassing defeat. (and Trump must absolutely hate the whole President Musk thing.)

A) Musk doesn’t work for Trump.

B) Musk owns Twitter. Twitter is a much bigger platform than Truth Social.

C) Musk can post whatever he wants on Twitter.

We’re funding bioweapon labs in this bill! https://t.co/gYAfqrUmjI

This should not be funded by your tax dollars! https://t.co/8H6zBjptPE

Neither of those things were true.

D) The key factor here is that Elmo has no responsibility. At all. He can post the most asinine things to Twitter, and when Elmo gets results, he can disavow any responsibility for his actions.

First of all, I’m not the author of this proposal. Credit to @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance & @SpeakerJohnson.

Second, this is a MUCH better bill that is closer to being a real continuing resolution (not an omnibus masquerading as a CR), but with support for hurricane victims &… https://t.co/AJTI6BTFdr

E) Elmo clearly knows as much about government or policy as Trump does. Elmo is the “new Trump” everyone has been looking for. 

What’s Trump gonna do about it?

F) Elon IS a megalomaniac.

(Elmo reposted that. He thinks he speaks for the people. He thinks he’s the voice of God.)

G) Elmo is still a white South African.

The most pro-Russian political party in Europe now has the support of Elon Musk. A party that that is constantly having its members arrested for espionage in favor of Russia AND China.

Just to be clear:

Musk endorses German neo-Nazi party. https://t.co/jblRHUoEQM

H) Elmo is Trump 2.0.

I)  Trump, in response to Elmo’s tweet blizzard and the complete failure of the victory he just took credit for, puffs up like a toad:

"I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas," Trump posted on Truth Social at 1:08 a.m. "Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!"

Elmo’s making him look small. Can’t have that.

H)  Can’t have reality, either:

Phillip: I get the politics of blaming Democrats, but the practicality of it is that the speaker decided to take a deal that he had with Democrats, throw it out the window, put another deal that he did not negotiate with them on the table and take a vote on it that failed. pic.twitter.com/6AoPJ0BwKm

Why would Trump want to eliminate the debt ceiling during his entire presidency when he promised to cut the total budget by 33% and balance the budget?

You bought the ticket, America. Enjoy the ride.
