Okay, everyone, it is almost 2.30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon,
and we recorded most of this podcast a little bit earlier in the day,
but we had to come back into the studio
because a fight between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has just exploded into public view.
Dan, what the heck just happened?
Everything that we thought would happen,
or at least happened in private between Donald Trump and Elon Musk in a relationship that clearly seemed fractured,
basically played out in front of cameras and on X over the last hour.
I must confess, I was head down in a story listed into Bruce Springsteen when I looked up.
their relationship had exploded.
I mean,
you had Donald Trump in the Oval Office meeting with the German chancellor just musing about his relationship with Musk and whether they would continue to have one and the fact that Musk is now very much against his big,
beautiful bill that is working his way through Congress.
That caused the tech billionaire to... go full bore on his website X by saying,
quote, without me, Trump would have lost the election.
Dems would control the House and Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.
I mean, also,
did you see the post where Elon Musk says that Trump is only going to be president for another three and a half years,
but says that he's going to be around for 40 plus years?
I mean, quite morbid, first of all.
