Tesla boss Elon Musk was the biggest financial backer of Trump's campaign and led his DOGE effort. But they are at odds over a major budget bill.

    Lol. It’s like the Reddit mob just lives here too.

    That’s adorable.

    Edit: Let’s get this comment to 100+ downvotes to help prove my point.

      Right? Why would people hate the guy who does Nazi salutes, sends goons in to disrupt the services that our taxes pay for, bought a presidency, calls someone who rescued kids a pedophile, pretends to be good at things to get gamers to like him, jokes about the people whose lives he ruined, says “empathy is a weakness,” shut down communication with Ukraine while they were at war, misgenders his own kid and spreads transphobic hate online, is a primary source of disinformation, and doesn’t pay his fair share of taxes?

      You’re right, he sounds cool af… to dorks.

          I think we found someone who exclusively talks in thought stopping cliches!

          The only thing that surprises me is that there was something to stop.

        I voted for Trump. And Reddit is a leftist echo chamber.

        Now let’s get THIS comment to 500+ downvotes.

        You can do it guys!

          Maybe stop having shitty ideals, and maybe people would agree. If you want validation for your shitty outlook on life and opinions you can always go back to TruthSocial or X.

              I am calm. Seems you need to calm down.

              Coming from the guy who is intentionally starting bullshit. Keep victimizing yourself, champ.

                I don’t think you understand what the term “victimizing” means.

                And you’re a Democrat. My god that’s in yalls playbook.

          There’s Truth Social, why don’t you head on over there? Or Twitter, that seems more accurate for someone like you.

            Sounds like you’re suggesting I segregate myself.

            Surely a liberal wouldn’t allude to something like that?

              It’s cute that you think this place is full of liberals.

              You laugh at the people telling you that you’re being exploited, then put your snout back into the slop and root around for something else tasty in the culture war fight against liberals.

              It’s adorable how conservatives think they’re being smart for getting pissed on like the rest of society, just because they like it.

                So your entire argument is without any substance whatsoever. Just insults. This is why your party will not see the WH again for some time.

          Sorry liberal, “nuh uh you’re the one!” is grade school tactics. You have to be much more advanced to use that effectively.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
