    You’re forgetting how often Rump says all sorts of things he never follows up on. This is why I keep saying we need a better news media. One that can recognize when something is genuinely news worthy. None of the details of this feud matter. Only maybe a single story about them having a feud would be needed. And if it were TV news it would be the last story. A funny fluff piece that doesn’t actually matter.

      I’m not forgetting that he’s a shit talker, but you aren’t getting it - simply by saying this shit he has already harmed the companies by undermining investor confidence.

      Trump directly attacked Musk’s companies and their investors, whether he follows through on the threat or not.

        Which is why the news needs to ignore his shit talking rather than broadcasting it.

          No, actually, I quite like that the media circus might cause Musk’s companies to fail. It’s good when his investors are hurt.
