What a conundrum ..

Musk opposes Trumps' Big Beautiful Bill.

This puts Dems in a Catch 22.

If you support the bill, you support Trump.
If you oppose the bill, you support Musk.

What a pickle. I can almost see the eyes twitching.

The people I know who own them are very successful in their chosen careers and have always been "car people" who buy new Corvettes/Mercedes/Maseratis, etc. every few years. Now they have owned Teslas for the last few years. I'm sure that will get old to them soon as well.

That's the only redeeming characteristic among them. They eventually turn to cannibalism.

Y'all put whiny little defenses of DOGE and Elon and its corruption. Now it directly opposes Trump's agenda. Who are you siding with? Are you dare going to oppose Dear Leader on the bill? Or are you going to admit Dear Leader ###### up with Elon.

Elon used to be right when he agreed with Trump. Now he is wrong because he doesn't agree with Trump. That's his answer.

If Trump, or Elon, says or supports something I agree with I can say that, and still think them both reprehensible on other issues (or as human beings).

How we treat our leaders. The left tends to eat our own as we point out flaws we disagree with.

The right refuses to disagree with Trump because it would be “disloyal” and being loyal is more important than being right.

I’ve never heard any of his voters truly admit that so I’m curious what would make them still vote for him if they truly believed that?
