A fallout between Don Taco and the Ketamine Kid would be beneficial to the public. I'll believe it when I actually see it. Until they stop doing this empty posturing I'm not going to believe it.

Don Taco and the Ketamine Kid. Not sure if you just made that up, but I i really like it

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

All culture and ideas are ultimately derived from other culture and ideas. I'm pretty sure I'd seen ketamine kid before. Maybe the Don Taco part is new enough and mildly original. Though it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that it pisses those two and their fans off.

Take credit for putting the two together. It’s clever and really rolls of the tongue.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Really that's got some strong movie title potential.

That is really unsettling

taco: YOU TOLD ME THIS BRAIN SHIP HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS WHAT THE FUCK MELON

melon: OH HOLY JESUS FUCK I TOOK TOO MUCH

I dunno it’s kinda hard to walk back “Trump is in the Epstein files” and calling for his impeachment.

[-] raltoid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Musk is just started calling for Trump to be impeached and saying he's in the Epstein files.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 94 points 1 year ago

Reeeeeally hoping this gets far enough that Musk just flat out admits to rigging the election for trump

[-] MrFappy@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

He’s he has already vaguely insinuated that fact today since he mentioned that Trump wouldn’t have won without his help. So get from that what you will.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 32 points 1 year ago

I don't know if I'd read it to that extent.

Over $200 million in donations and full control of a massive social media network is nothing to sneeze at. Not to say I don't think he wouldn't have helped rig it, I just think his statement could be taken as an understanding of the money and control of X being massive contributions. Hell, he took the "@america" handle away from a user to use it in support of Trump.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

I think a more damning claim was when Trump said on stage Elon helped with those vote counting machines and knows computers.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He can vaguely insuinate all he wants.

What I want is for him in a drug fueled stupor to release actual evidence that undeniably shows he stole an election.

They're fucking dumb enough to do it

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Right now, this is a threat from trump for musk to shut the fuck up. We'll see if the other drug addict listens.

[-] vegeta@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"The MAGA world is really a bigger and better movement than ever seen before in the history of the Country." Trump gave a superior smile before replying "What can the crazy extreme radical liberals do?"

You're very clever, Tangerine Tyrant, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's leopards all the way down!"

I think this is likely just kayfabe, but it would be oh so funny if vindictive prick Donny works himself into a shoot and rescinds those government contracts. It would be even funnier if he reopened those pesky probes into Elon’s business practices.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

I don't think either man has thick enough skin to allow insults like this to be made public even if they are in on the joke. They don't see themselves through their own eyes. I'm guessing they only see what they imagine others are seeing.

[-] WatDabney@fedia.io 7 points 1 year ago

This is my take on it too.

I really don't think it's likely that they're just posturing as a distraction - I don't think either one of them is that subtle. But even if they are, I think they're both so thin-skinned that even if they didn't start out serious, they're going to end up that way.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I’ve been waiting for this to happen

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. From the moment they came together, I began to look forward to the inevitable day that they would finally turn on each other. It was a predictable as the sun rising tomorrow morning.

Frankly, Im surprised it took this long. I was predicting 3 weeks at the outside.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Trump and Musk are getting divorced

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

wait till Elon turns this into "I sacrificed everything I have for the fight against Tyranny"

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Yet he's still working on making the DOGE cuts permanent, with not a single message about reversing them.

Lip service, why would I expect anything else?

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Which government contracts? Oh, you mean the ones he got by pulling a Sir Mix-A-Lot on them?

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm your Tesla roaster. First gear

Watch me go, keep 'em in fear

Rumble, my tummy rumble

Voters won't fumble, muthafukas just crumble

Putin crank, Daddy get spank

Lead clown Yank, and fascist stank

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Pot. Kettle. Black.

[-] Soliae@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

If this wasn’t theater he would have already cut them.

Entirely fabricated reality show drama and the media/citizens are eating it up.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

trump got really bent out of shape with the TACO nickname. If he doesn't follow through with this it will be a prime opportunity to point out yet more TACO evidence.

I was talking to someone the other day about why Musk is the ideal failbillionaire for this because Trump can have ICE deport him. Expect to see Peter Thiel take his place on the glsss guillotine

Musk losing all his government grants would be pretty funny.

[-] paultimate14@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Kinda sad how fascists seem to be so much better at taking down fascists than anti-fascists are.

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Do it, or are you a chicken?
