The White House has brushed off Elon Musk’s attacks on Donald Trump as an “unfortunate episode.”
Musk and Trump’s very public spat began on Thursday afternoon after the president told reporters at the White House that he was “disappointed” in Musk.
Trump also accused Musk of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome” and suggested that he only objected to the “big, beautiful bill” because it removed the electric vehicle tax subsidies, which would hit Tesla’s bottom line.
This is a distraction. Look more carefully at what else they are doing right now.
I’m game, but what? The Cronenbergian spending bill? That’s the trigger for this entire fight, doesn’t exactly put it under the radar.
Just saw another lemmy post that said it’s the sanctioning of ICC judges who opposed Netanyahu and US war crimes in Afghanistan.

Yeah, I saw that. Seems like the bill is the bigger story though, to be honest. The bill is trying to Trojan horse a lot of worse things in.
That’s my point we don’t know because it’s not reported on as the media is too busy with this infighting. Reporters need to do their job.
