What's frustrating about the Musk and Trump thing is that. Like.

It's a distraction.

Trump cancelling the subsidies to electric cars was a campaign promise. That was basically announced months ago, I think Musk just didn't expect Trump to go through with it

And Musk saying Trump is in the Epstein files, is like. We knew. The files are everyone that Epstein associated with, and Trump has photos with the guy. We all knew.

I mean, it's a lot of flash, but to me it does feel like a bit of a nothingburger?

It feels like a distraction.

Even if the emotions are genuine, Trump might be getting encouragement to blow up the relationship so that people are distracted from the many real problems of the Big Beautiful Bill. And also so that the Left feels like there's momentum on Damaging The Right As A Cohesive Block.

So we're distracted, instead of:

1. Noticing how many Republicans are saying "I wouldn't have voted yes if I'd actually read the BBB"
2. Paying attention to the new travel ban
3. Recognizing that this isn't really moving anything
4. Calling our senators about the insanely stupid tax breaks in the BBB
5. And any number of other government actions that are shaping up to have real and lasting impacts on us
