Could Musk be scamming Trump? - Lemmy.World

Could this all be a setup to offload his huge failure onto the Trump cult? I don’t think it’s a 4D chess thing. It does seem on brand though.

no, hes generally a racist piece of shit on his own terms regardless of trump
These things aren’t mutually exclusive though.
Sometimes I think that could be the case, but then remember when I played mafia: the people causing chaos are never the good ones, because even if intentions are good, the long-lasting effects of setting the wrong example are negative.
I never implied that Musk was a good guy. I think he’s a selfish scheming piece of trash taking advantage of another sociopathic billionaire that has dementia
Yea, I figured half way that maybe by scamming you just meant for money and not to undermine him, but just kept going because I wanted to get that off my chest after seeing too many elonstans covering for him, sorry :)
If anything Musk has the money to buy Truth social and then get a favor from Trump.

True but think about it like this: He tells Trump that Twitter is way more popular than whatever shit he has, but that’s ok cuz he’ll cut a sweet deal and they can have Twitter and merge it with all the other ones.

Called it X Squared or something stupid

How would the failure be offloaded?
Definitely not. Elon is a an impulsive, greedy, psychopathic moron just like Trump. These are not men coming up with mastermind plans. They genuinely believe their own bullshit.
