Trump and Elon Musk's spectacular falling out is very entertaining, but we must keep the pressure on save Medicaid

The girls are fighting, aren’t they?

That’s how Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and many other commentators characterized the ugly, nasty, spectacular falling-out between Donald Trump and Elon Musk today — a spat which mainly took place online as the fascist duo repeatedly took verbal potshots at each other via the online cesspools they control.

Asked about Musk’s recent comments in opposition to his Medicaid destruction megabill during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump grumbled: “Elon’s upset because we took the EV mandate, which is a lot of money… I know that disturbed him… Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.”

“Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the mountain of disgusting pork in the bill,” Musk retorted in a post on Twitter. (It’ll always be Twitter… sorry, Elon!)
