Trump says of Elmo: "I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it."

Mueller, She Wrote
“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.”

the pro-wrestling art of performance.

But T did have a point about Mux getting rich on subsidies.

I think he thinks he's a rock star. Get a clue, Elmo.

Currently, he has more that 6 thousand. He has plans for 42,000 satellites.

Look around at your life and ask yourself how much of it is controlled and/or dependent on satellites. This is a damaged, disordered man, and he doesn't want money.

whatever it is that he feels will bring him that power--latching on to Trump-Vance at first but he's out for himself above all. Trump doesn't get it. Vance is likewise more than willing to hitch his future onto the Peter Thiel types, Musk, and others at Trump's expense. Both Musk and Vance are incredibly socially awkward, but they are convinced otherwise. And mark my words, if we all suffer the worst fate in the election, Trump will be tossed aside whenever it becomes convenient.

trump supporters have absolutely no pride no self worth no spine. From the women who want him to grab their pussy to the poor soul who gave him his Purple Heart to Elon to every Republican politician he's insulted and ridiculed. Sad.

Trump said, "Jump" and Eloon said, "How high?"

Or maybe he was trying to distract a shooter.... A shame it didn't work..

This is the same kind of behavior we saw from Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, among others. Is there dirt on Eloon in some of those boxes of government documents that he stole?
