Well, Musk DID get ONE THING OF TRUMP'S that he desperately wanted for himself. [View all]

I'm not talking about Musk's spiffy new cloned database of your Social Security numbers, banking data, medical records, etc etc etc.

I'm not talking about him magically shifting multi-billion dollar contracts away from his competitors and to his own businesses.

I'm not talking about his gutting agencies that held regulatory authority over his businesses and their ability to investigate him.

WE KNOW HE DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

I'm talking about a fawning media and their obsession with documenting Musk's "feelings." On Salon:

Musk’s meltdown era is here: Exploding rockets, billion-dollar losses, and a Trump cold shoulder: Elon Musk’s empire is running on fumes

MAKE NO MISTAKE: What Musk GOT from his DOGE SHIT adventure DWARFS anything he may have "lost."

But the news media insists on weeping over the nail holes in his hands and feet from being nailed to a cross.

They're treating him with the same kid gloves they use on Trump.
