Analysis: GOP lawmakers and operatives said Republicans should be scared of getting crosswise with either Trump or Musk — a tough task when they’re fighting each other.
The bromance may be dead, but Republicans worry that an escalating feud between Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk could live on, leaving collateral damage in its wake for weeks, months or even years.
The proximate cause is the centerpiece of Trump’s agenda, the “big, beautiful bill,” which Musk is trashing publicly and privately. To try to kill the legislation, he has said he will spend money to oust Republican lawmakers who vote for it.
“He does not give a f— about Republicans or the RNC, or House seats, or whatever,” a Musk adviser said Thursday in the middle of a social media war between Trump and Musk, who had never aligned with the Republican Party until the last few years. The adviser was given anonymity to speak candidly about the blow-up. “He will blow them up; he will. … I mean, we already know Republicans are going to lose the House. Senate will likely be fine, but Elon does not give a s— about that party stuff."
It’s all distraction. Once the Big Beautiful Bill passes, Dumb and Dumber will be hetero life partners again.
Good. The more collateral damage, the better. In this fight, each fist that does not find a face is wasted.
The cockroaches scatter when a light turns on? Color me shocked.
In the end, fascism doesn’t stand forever, and this is one of the reasons why.
Surely the cons will work on releasing those Epstein files, right?
Right?
In other news, Republicans suddenly care when it impacts them, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

Welcome to the find out part of fucking around.
Oh no how unfortunate.
Thoughts and prayers …
Eloquently said by the Musk adviser… is he like 14? 15? JFC…
Big Balls is probably close to aging out of Musk’s inner circle. Twenty-something? What is this, some kind of gerontocracy?
