Michael Cohen - The War Of The Egos: Round 1

Well… I told you so.

No, seriously. I literally told you this would happen—right here on Substack, the day before the first missile was fired in this ego-driven Cold War of the Titans. Go back and read “The Richest Man Alive, Yet Still Powerless.” In that piece, I laid it out plain and simple: Elon Musk, for all his money and memes, is playing with fire by cozying up to Donald J. Trump. And now? The flamethrower is on full blast, and the hairpieces are singed.

Let’s break it down: you’ve got two of the most emotionally unstable individuals in American life, both incapable of letting a slight go unpunished, and now they’ve turned on each other like meth-fueled lions in a cage match.

Trump thinks Elon owes him everything—from his contracts to his clout. Elon thinks Trump’s a washed-up wannabe dictator with a Diet Coke addiction. And now it’s officially gloves off. Aides on both sides are scrambling to de-escalate, whispering sweet nothings about “brokered peace” while simultaneously sharpening the knives behind their backs. Because here’s the truth: there is no coming back from this.

for imaginary hurts to their hallucinogenic beliefs and cult egos, cannot forget and cannot forgive, ever.

Spite and revenge are all they live for, at their own expense.

Example.



So easily fooled. So hard for them to get out of a rut. They do it with a shovel, not a ladder.
