Elon calls the POTUS a pedo and now deletes the tweet.... like a dog.

Is this how he runs his companies? I am amazed he is that successful considering how impulsive he is and does things without thinking. Or maybe he has become that way after success? People change.

Not a Christian I presume?

Even if you are in fact heartless, this country you chose to live in has always and should always provide publicly available services for the overall wellbeing of its citizens.
Lot to unpack really dumb post.

1. Christianly doesn't teach you to have kids out of wedlock and be a leach on society.

2. Also, what happened to personal responsibility what if everyone decided to have kids and refuse to provide for them instead just seek government help?

  • Proverbs 19:17 - "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."
  • Isaiah 58:10 - "If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness…"
  • Matthew 25:35-40 - "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink... Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
  • Deuteronomy 15:11 - "For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, 'You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor.'"
  • Galatians 6:1-2 - "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness... Bear one another's burdens."
  • James 5:19-20 - "Whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins."

I'm not a particularly religious man, but I'm fairly confident that the bible preaches love, kindness, and generosity to EVERYONE including those who sin or 'leach on society.'


You don't understand those scriptures. Not surprised. Why do liberals, most of whom are godless, quote the Bible?

We are never told in the Bible to use the government to take from others and give it to people that we believe need it. The Bible is talking to individual believers - what they should personally do - and since you are not a believer, you should refrain from making ignorant posts quoting it.


The scripture talk, while far more beautifully brandished on F16 than the R&P board, still seems misplaced on a thread about the heartbreak of a couple of Godless gossips.

I'm pretty sure the last thing on the minds of upside down Bible guy and the cultural Christian was scripture as they tried to virtually murder each other on social media.

This thread isn't about the BBB or God, it's about

Well, for starters Trump did not do this and the fake Truth post should be labeled as such. It doesn't even sound like something Trump would post.

Over on Truth, Trump is talking trade deficits shrinking by half, reviewing plans for his great ballroom, and stomping on the Associated Press over a favorable court ruling.

Heck, I got tired just reading about all his winning this morning.

The idea that anyone thinks you can completely take religion discussion out of politics is absurd.

Ones personal beliefs are the basis for which chose how they'll advocate for society decision making.

I never knew why some people (a small minority), even here on TA think that their religion is "true" and other's religions are "false". A terribly brainwashed and hare-brained view of things.

There was one time when someone came to my door to "spread the word" and basically convert me. It was a slow Saturday afternoon and I was in the mood for a conversation. So I engaged him. He told me his religion brings world peace. I said really? He said yes, it is in this book. I asked him when? He said it is not written. I told him humans have been fighting from forever and they will continue forever. Nothing has ever changed humans. I don't see any signs either. Then he changed tack. He claimed his religion will bring me peace. I said show me. He had no proper proof. I said I would convert to his religion if he could prove something to me, not just make claims. Dude got nothing. Then I told him, I looked at religion like this. You are in a suburb, you want to get downtown. You can drive, take the tollway or not, take a train or not, there are many ways. You take your way, I take my way. We both reach downtown. What is bad in that?

So this "my religion is better than yours" is the most dumbest argument I have heard. No one can prove it without resorting to lies and propaganda (which itself is non-divine). The only barometer is to see how the adherents behave.

He smiled, told me that he learned something new today, thanked me and left. This conversation took place in 2005.

It's a fake tweet man. Just a Whatsapp forward.

Both men looked bad in this fracas, but Trump was slightly more mature among the two. Elon was atrocious, he was trying his best to provoke Trump with his dumb tweets. He could have called up Trump and talked to him, why insult him in public? What a doofus. I would be pissed off if someone did that to me. Trump said yesterday he wished Elon the best and did not want to talk about him anymore.

I think among the two, Trump looked better. Elon looked like a petulant child.

Probably because their deity literally says "thou shall have no other gods before me"

And

That deity's son literally told them the only way to salvation is through their religion.


Believing their religion is the one true religion is a core tenant of said religion.

In that case, there is some dissonance.
What if 2 religions say the same thing? We know another one that does, Which one would be true then? And both are divine/godly?

Does not compute.

What kind of suit could be brought against Elon for saying "Trump is on the Epstein list" without evidence? I like Elon in the political stance he's taken, but the insinuation without facts may have got him in to hot water here?

The Musk posts directly attacking Trump and Congress have stopped, but he's still 100% on board the new party train and the over spending train. This whole thing looks like it's got legs.

I fully agree with him on the spending. CUT CUT CUT. I hate Debt myself. We should start by balancing the budget somehow.

How is Trump claiming his new bill is "the best" and Elon and others claim it will increase spending? I have not read the bill or even a summary so I am not sure how both parties can say opposite things.

The bill does come with some spending cuts, but they come with a gaping asterisk… they're scheduled to occur several election cycles from now, during which time it's not only plausible but likely that a Dem-controlled Congress will have the opportunity to cancel them. And they' amount to just $1.8T over a 10 year period.

This isn't a strategic error. Rather, the folks voting for this bill simply don't care if it happens or not because that's a problem for another Congress and they'd rather claim a win than do the work.

On the flip side, the $5T debt ceiling increases in the bill are scheduled to occur immediately. And they're sized to be large enough that we wouldn't need another debt ceiling increase maybe until Trump leaves office. It's an HUGE amount. And we all know what happens when you give government a long spending leash.

So Congress is borrowing from the future and giving it an IOU that it very likely can't redeem.

Musk, Massie, Paul would like to see us at least go back to pre COVId spending levels. This bill can't even get us there and 90% of the establishment is attacking them for making things difficult.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
If 90% of the establishment is fighting them on it (and I think that's probably even a little bit low), all that does is prove that no budget bill would pass with cuts. If they don't pass at least renew the tax cuts, republicans are toast in upcoming elections. The solution is renew the current tax levels and include spending that will pass. It's not ideal. However, it is how politics works. Elon is viewing this as a business where the executive is just in charge. But Trump isn't the CEO. The bill actually does have to pass.

No idea, but I do know the feud has given an Eff-ton of material for the interwebs and late-night talk shows. I know I can't be the only one who's hoping for a sequel to the first episode.

I felt this as well, and looks like others agree.
Trump was the MORE mature one (as compared to Musk) in all of this. Trump should have completely ignored Musk but to his credit he did not escalate beyond a point.

Trump advised Vance to take a diplomatic approach after Musk's blowup

Trump declined to go all-out in his attacks on Musk and counseled the vice president to show restraint in his comments about Musk, preserving a possible bridge.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/07/trump-musk-vance/

Quote:

While Elon Musk fired off social media posts excoriating and insulting him, President Donald Trump sought to keep the situation from escalating further, instructing his vice president to take a careful approach to how he addressed the topic publicly.

Trump didn't want to fully burn the bridge.
As Vice President JD Vance prepared to leave the White House on Thursday to head to Nashville where he would fundraise and record a high-profile podcast in which Trump knew the Musk situation would come up Trump gave Vance marching orders on messaging.

The president told Vance, a prolific online poster himself, "to be diplomatic in how he handles it publicly," according to a person with knowledge of the conversation, one of two who confirmed the exchange to The Washington Post.

Trump didn't want a harsh response by Vance to inflame the situation a strategy that left the door open for a repairing of the broken bridge later.

One of the most impresses things (to me) about Elon is how quickly he is willing to give up on bad ideas or reverse course when he gets new information. This is pretty obvious with all the harebrained ideas SpaceX has abandoned. I was in Hawthorne during a launch and Elon sat in the seat next to me and talked with his lead engineer for 2 hours about trying to recover their fairings. I think that may have been their last attempt with the catcher's mitt atop one of their ships.
