The continued Donald Trump / Elon Musk feud is as entertaining as it’s damaging. Trump has apparently determined Musk’s DOGE work was “bulls**t”, Musk known as Trump’s ‘Large Lovely Invoice’ “a disgusting abomination”, then tossed gasoline onto the hearth by claiming that Trump is protecting up intercourse crimes he dedicated alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
Many in MAGA are pleading for the 2 to bury the hatchet earlier than extra harm is completed, although each Musk and Trump are thin-skinned catty queens infamous for nursing grudges. However, for some in MAGA, that is time for an enormous sigh of reduction.
Put your self of their footwear for a second. For the very best a part of a 12 months, you’ve needed to argue that this crushingly unfunny, perpetually embarrassing, and visibly drug-addled loser was a shining gentle of conservative values, a historic genius, and somebody we should always all look as much as. Now they don’t need to faux anymore, and the gloves are OFF.
First as much as lay into Musk was longtime Trump ally and MAGA central determine Steve Bannon, who’s by no means appreciated Musk however largely prevented criticizing him for political causes. Now these gloves are off. As per feedback in The New York Instances, Bannon stated it’s time for Musk to be faraway from the nation: “They need to provoke a proper investigation of his [Musk] immigration standing as a result of I’m of the sturdy perception that he’s an unlawful alien, and he ought to be deported from the nation instantly.”

Bannon additionally advisable that Trump seize Musk’s property on behalf of the federal government: “President Trump, tonight, ought to signal an government order calling for the Protection Manufacturing Act. And seize SpaceX tonight, earlier than midnight.”
One ticket to El Salvador please!
Sadly, SpaceX stays unseized, however we dwell in hope. Properly, I by no means thought I’d be standing alongside Steve Bannon, however I assume the enemy of your enemy actually is your good friend in spite of everything. So, for as soon as, let’s let ICE do one thing that everybody can get behind: scooping up Musk, stripping him of his property, sending him to a sweaty Louisiana centre, after which booting him in another country. Wouldn’t it be an excessive amount of to ask {that a} spot on a aircraft to El Salvador be made accessible?
Ordinarily we’d say no human being deserves to be subjected to the extrajudicial horrors of CECOT, however for Musk we’re greater than keen to make an exception.
