The fallout has happened sooner than I thought.

Edit: Reading Musk's X account, he's going straight for Trump's jugular and said the Epstein files aren't being released because Trump's in it. He's also put up a poll asking "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?".

The hint of underage sex will have resonance for Musk, given his own father’s, ahem, odd- though legal - arrangements…..

But yes, the bust-up many of us predicted has finally happened and is even more vitriolic than I for one had dreamed, heh, heh. Let’s hope the collapse in Tesla’s share price makes Musk think twice about more far-right meddling, or political funding, in Europe. Though these remarks about starting a new party suggest his billionaire’s megalomania remains undimmed.

It is apparent that a lot of very rich people acquire a false sense of invincibility and impunity.

Not so false when they are rarely held accountable for their actions. There almost always seems to be a way for them to buy their way out of it, or greatly mitigate the damage to them.
