Spat

“And you know what else? That WAS a Nazi salute!”

That’s the tweet that I was waiting for as I watched the Trump - Musk alliance breaking down in real time on Thursday. The online reaction from my corner of the social media universe was mostly pure glee, but colored with a bit of skepticism. Some people seemed to think that the whole thing was an act, but I don’t know - it got very personal. And if Trump is not all over the Epstein files (of course he is) then he can just order the DOJ to release everything to clear his name. He hasn’t done that yet, has he?


I’m hoping that this fight will end in a resounding loss for both of them. If Elon goes nuclear and admits that he manipulated the election then even the most Trumpy Congressmen and Senators and Supreme Court Justices would have no choice but to proceed with a full investigation and hand recount. I’m pretty sure that they’d then figure out how to manipulate the vote count and reveal that - surprise! -  Trump still won. But then they would proceed to a 25th Amendment removal from office so that JD Vance can take over and complete the Curtis Yarvin/Peter Thiel tech bro fascist takeover of the United States. 


Meanwhile, there’s not enough popcorn in the world for this show. Maybe Ye will record an Elon diss track. Maybe Elon will secretly buy Truth Social and then kick Trump off it. Maybe The Real Housewives of DOGE will be the next Bravo series. 2025 is, as they say on the internet, the worst timeline ever - but this part is golden. This part is hilarious.
