They were nothing more than business partners, in other words tools. They used each other. Musk was the richest man on the planet and somehow Americans thought that was a coincidence. Musk wanted to usher in an era of austerity to line his own pockets, which he got in return for funding and pushing for trumps election. Election's over, Trump taxes musk he fucks off.

LOL yes let's impeach him again. We are stuck with this Orange Turd. Republicans have given us this turd and we can't flush him for 4 years.
For the impeachment itself, assuming the Democrats all vote for it, Musk only needs to buy 9 republicans.
For the trial, he needs to get 20 republicans for the two thirds. It's not going to be cheap, but it sounds doable.
The problem is that leaves Vance in charge, and a focused autocrat is not an upgrade.
LOL yes let’s impeach him again
Why just once? Let's impeach him two more times.

I hate to be a Debby Downer, but the headline is a bit sensationalist. This is how Elon "called for Donald Trump to be impeached":
That's it. He wrote "Yes".
I don't think that's sensationalist at all. It's a pretty direct and clear call for impeachment.
But I'd rather talk about that original Tweet. Obviously, Trump being impeached (and convicted by the Senate) would result in Vance replacing him; that's how it works. But the choice to specifically highlight the Vance part of it implies not just a desire for Trump to be gone, but for Vance specifically to be in. Which is wild. I can't imagine any human on earth actually being pro-Vance. There's the sane people, who oppose the entire administration, and there's the Magats who are rabidly pro-Trump. Who exactly supports Trump's diet lacky?
Vance represents the tech bro "libertatian" wing with Thiel and those ghouls. Musk fits right in.
Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don't need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump's shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he'll be put out of power.

But that doesn't bring in the clicks. And really, that's all we care about, right?

Everyone that works with Trump always regrets it eventually. Everyone.
"Oh, but he won't do that to me ."
Elon's going to lose this fight. All the other rich people backing Trump still think the snake won't bite them, and Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does. He had some good will for a while, but he's been burning that ever since the weird pedo guy thing, and that's nowhere near Trump's fucking cult energy. Forty years from now there's still going to be dumbasses and edgy teens talking about how they heard a rumor that Trump is still alive out there in the wastes that used to be middle America.
Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does
He used to, but then he started associating with Trump.

Musk wants his money back! I’d vote to let him return his purchase in this case.
250m for the opportunity to burn the wealthiest country in the world to the grouns? That was a one-time offer with an obvious no-return policy.

How long before trump declares that Elon isn’t hot anymore?
Yes… and gets picked up by ICE and sent to El Salvador instead of Africa.

But they did impeach him, Leon. Multiple times. The trouble is he just ignores it.

Elon could easily buy enough of the Senate to have Individual 1 removed at long last.
Fascist infighting is always fun to watch
It's not tho. This is, difficult as it is to say, America's leadership. It's disgusting, humiliating, and dangerous.

Now would be an optimal time for Putin to off one or both. Maximum chaos.
Buyer's Remorse
I want to know what’s happening quietly while everybody’s all consumed with the ego drama.

Musk needs to put his money where his mouth is, otherwise this is just a long-con IMO.
Elmo always has been a long con, he's been a con man for decades now. Every other word out of his mouth is a lie
Hahaha love it!
At this point Trump running interference and cockblocking Thiel and his billionare creeper squad from re-enacting the Business plot would be the best ( and funniest ) result.
Man... Ilit seems crazy to think that this isn't something there's a task force for. Or like, a 3rds party mutually assured destruction situation for this.
