So this thread descends in to petty bickering unrelated to the actual thread topic within a couple of pages......

I think Trump has way more to lose than Musk
Not so sure. He's armour plated. Trump has much more power and influence than Musk. In the end, if there is to be a 'winner' it won't be Musk. It would serve him well to get off the K.

It's Box Office though and could go a few more rounds yet.

Again, you started this thread attacking me in your second post with your standard sniping about me “owning threads” and having me ”on ignore” because someone asked you whether or not this topic was already covered in the Trump thread. That question was fcuk all to do with me - I hadn’t even intended to comment on this thread until yet again, you made it personal. Why respond to the question with a personal snipe rather than just say you felt it deserved it’s own thread for content reasons which might arguably be justified.

The last time you started a thread as a snipe at me, the mods merged the threads and you flounced for days making passive aggressive remarks on the Trump thread about me.

Look in the mirror mate, you are the only poster on NSC repeatedly referring to posters “owning” threads and the only one that has an issue about it frankly.

Nobody buys your feigned innocence and its that trolling, unpleasant behaviour that is more likely to drive people away rather than me calling you out on it..
I am up late researching something far more interesting than your idiosyncrasies / oddball / plain weird views. I was intrigued enough to remove the ignore for this post, and have reported you. You are a major reason why people might swerve NSC like it or not. You are a very insecure individual. I made no reference to you at all as you know, unless of course you were seeking to protect "your" Trump thread which is equally odd. Now bore off

Post #2 in reference to the Trump thread - of course it was about me because you constantly refer to me as the “owner” of that thread as we all know.

I hadn’t even commented until this so nothing protectionist in pointing out that this was a trolling comment.

I had taken you off my ignore list because I thought we’d moved past your last episode of trolling me but putting you back on now so we can all have some peace.

Enjoy the porn or whatever it is you are researching at 1.30 in the morning.

You should apologise to @Beach Hut btw for being so rude - very unpleasant behaviour.
You really are a tool, I'm reporting you again. I'm researching the silk industry in Spitalfields in the late 1700s just so you know. How fcking dare you suggest I'm watching porn. I also had no contact at all with beachy, wtf are you on? Hopefully, strong meds, let's hope they kick in

Agree. Trump has the power and it’s only counterbalanced at the moment by Musks extraordinary wealth.

But what happens when the Emperor turns on the richest man in the Kingdom and hits him where it hurts most?

”Various estimates have been put forward about just how much Musk’s firms, primarily SpaceX and Tesla, benefit from U.S. government contracts and subsidies. The Washington Post has put the figure at $38 billion, with SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell estimating that company alone benefits from $22 billion in federal spending. Reuters has reported that the true figure is classified because of the nature of many of the contracts Musk’s firms are under.”

It's really all they have, what else are they going to point to?

@lasvegan was always banging on about him being better than Biden/Harris but not that great really. Then some kind of vague promise of an improved economy at some point in the future.

Both have been proven wrong. So laughing emojis and pointing at a large number of other stupid people* is all they have.

*Are we allowed to call them stupid yet?
Do you think that Biden (auto pen, whoever that was,)/Harris was great? Do you think that an improved economy “in the future” is null and void after 4 months? Do you know that inflation is now way lower than the Biden economic disaster? Do you know that border crossings are down by 98%?

Can I call you stupid? Yes, yes I can.

Considering the evidence that Musk has security fraud violations questions to answer. he is playing a very dangerous game. Not to mention, without Government handouts Tesla and Space X are nothing.

What a Musk/Trump shit show. Embarrassing…
:ROFLMAO:You voted for it. So utterly predictable.
Funny how amongst all the shameful and disgusting stuff, it's his tiff with Musk that finally gets you to post about Trump rather than what the democrats might have done.

What was your reaction to his incitement to violence whilst denying the result of a fair and democratic election? Oh yeah, let's have some more of that please.
