      Let’s see if it’s real or more kabuki.

      If Trump announces cancellation of major contracts with Musk-owned firms, it’s probably real. Otherwise, not.

        I wouldn’t even hold announcements in stone, he has been flopping back and forth on massive, world-altering policy decisions for months. A spat with his rival narcissist isn’t going to be more or less scatterbrained.

      Most likely they’re going to patch it up, roll-back their rhetoric and continue milking the federal piggy-bank for as long as they can, and their supporters won’t give a shit because they’re not supporting either of these clowns because they want sound fiscal leadership, these guys gained a following because they “hurt the right people” and that’s all anyone cares about now.

      I’m sorry to be the bucket of cold water, but we gotta remember we’re not in a functional democracy anymore. This is more like some “last days of Rome” acts.
