Lol, I guess this is what happens when two assholes surround themselves with sycophantic yes-men for far too long.

Nobody taught them how to play nice. I've met eight year olds with more civility and maturity than those two...

Oh well. Reminds me of that Alien vs Predator movie: Whoever wins, we lose.

Are you sure? You know that Trump constantly talks about his TV ratings? I forget who it was, but I remember there being a story last year or the year before, of someone who was publicly criticizing Trump met with him and was expecting to be absolutely whipped and scolded, instead behind the scenes Trump thanked them for making good television. The financial impact on Musk’s companies do make this seem real, but somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if this drama was fake. It did occur to me, and I can tell I’m not the only one... the top Google autocomplete for me for “is the trump” is “is the trump musk feud real”.

the variation I prefer is: never attribute to wisdom that which is adequately explained by stupidity

I absolutely would be too, if there wasn’t a long demonstrated history on the part of both of these people to use public drama as smoke to distract from other things they’re doing.
