    Why does he need to care about the mothers? They are all more wealthy than almost all of us combined. And if he agreed to give a woman a child with the understanding he will not be around, what business is it of yours? This is common in parts of the world.
    You're comparing dead beat fathers who leave their kids in poverty to children who will have nearly anything they could ever want.

    There is lots of things to **** on Musk about, but this continued attack on his choice of procreating is completely silly and nonsensical.

    Imagine if a democratic president threatened a business ceo with the full force of the US government if they speak up against their policies. I hate Elon but the president joking about stripping his citizenship and going after him is crazy.

    @StupidMoniker this is why the founding fathers didnt want the executive to be so corrupt and powerful. Trump is everything they feared the office would be.

    Elon Musk is the most impactful businessman of our lifetimes, but Donald J Trump is the most impactful politician of our lifetimes. When Musk leaves his business/entrepreneurship/technology sandbox and moves into politics, he's outgunned -- there is no match for Trump. That's why Trump has won 3 Presidential elections and taken down the Obama, Clinton, and Bush dynasties. Facing off against Trump is a losing proposition.

    GOOD DAY

    Hey MAGAt its Elon's right to critique the president. That's what the bill of rights is for. Your orange messiah threatening to go after him if he speaks up against the tax cut scam is what facism is abour. You morons worship him but we're not all cultists

    Trump is correct when he talks about how he would end the mandates. However, if you follow Musks frustration, he is concerned about the entire renewable industry taking a hit, setting us back and allowing china to continue to progress forward at a faster rate.

    We should drop all the subsidies for oil and gas. Using oil for primary fuel is just stupid if other alternatives exist, even if its less convenient at the moment.

    We should be perpetually subsidizing energy in some form or fashion. I dont think we should be giving credits for EV but we should certainly be subsidizing battery development and expansion.

    The Saudi's made a favorable deal with Trump and Musk is on the losing end of this deal.

    Anything they want, except 2 loving and present parents? Elon even refers to one of his kids as being dead. What a quality father.

    I'm a libertarian. I don't want any part of the government to be corrupt or powerful.

    Trump has been crazy obnoxious the last few months. If Elon wants to create an America first party I am def on board with that.

    Guy has autism with only one direction. Success. I am on board.

    trump is right that he campaigned on all these things that musk says he is against. if musk doesnt like it now thats on him. he endorsed this.

    the idea that the richest person in the world is gleefully running around with a chainsaw bragging about how he is destroying peoples lives is now going to stand up for everyday americans is pretty laughable. it will be funny watching musk and his cult fighting with trump and his cult though.

    Best of luck to the new party. I hope he actually pushes for it. He has the funds and the communication channels to actually sponsor a 3rd party that can sustain.

    Musk is no Teddy, but he can sponsor one.

    Teddy Roosevelt campaigns for a third term, 1912 | Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History
    When it became clear that Roosevelt would be about seventy votes shy of winning the nomination, he announced he was leaving the Republican Party and forming a new party. Officially known as the National Progressive Party, it became known as the Bull Moose Party when in June 1912 he described himself as “fit as a bull moose.”

    First, why does he need to care about the mothers of his children? Because they are the mothers of his children.....

    Also, he has filed to pay the absolute minimum amount in child support, he has had the mothers of his children claiming that he has stopped paying, or attempted to not pay at all.

    If someone is going to claim that they care about American workers and they don't even care about their children or the mothers of their children, I find it very unlikely that they give a **** about anyone but themselves.

    Also - I don't care if it is common in other parts of the world. It is common to **** employees over too and it doesn't make it right.

    Musk has made himself an overtly public figure - he can deal with the criticism for how he conducts himself.

    Two things can be true at the same time.

    First, I have no doubt that Elon Musk is selfishly upset about losing the EV subsidies and I cannot blame him for being upset about it. He aligned himself with Trump, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to help Trump get elected, he spend many hours helping get Trump elected - and then he ran DOGE, knowing full well that it wasn't going to be a popular undertaking because people would lose their jobs and benefits..... and through it all his business suffered and value went down. Then, when Trump dumps him - he finds out that Trump is potentially going to destroy his business and a lot of his 400 billion wealth, by removing subsidies.

    Second, I agree with Musk - gutting the subsidies is just handing the EV market to China, and the EV and battery market is the next big thing, similar to the dot com age, etc. The USA can fall behind China economically and influentially by losing the EV/Battery market to the Chinese. The Chinese are subsidizing their market - and it is paying off. Trump is being very foolish on this issue.
