Musk can't be an Incel when he has 14 children and counting.

As other's have mentioned, he's fathered 14 children, opinion is divided about whether he's had sex with any of their mothers. At least one has said she didn't.

I wonder how much stock the pair of them picked in in TSLA yday ??

This time next week, they will be pals again and Trump will promise Tesla loads of Government contracts.

I am curious to see if there will be attempts to fix the relationship between them - they are both capable of incredible mental gymnastics. Will there be statements like ‘Oh somebody hacked Elon’s X account and it wasn’t him’ or something similar?

An analysis of what’s going on in TNR - some has already been mentioned here, but it might be worth a read. I’ll post it on the TACO D thread as well.

disappointed at no further escalations overnight

As did sex worker prices in DC.

Caught some coverage on 5Live earlier and their correspondent was "reporting a rumour" that Musk was having an affair with another staffers wife. Hence the black eye and sudden departure. 

Thought it very odd that the Beeb were happy to run that.

Apology is only because self-serving prick realised it’s in his best interests.

None of us will get an apology for him trashing pensions and investments.

I’m really annoyed the Toddler spat didn’t last much longer than a weekend. Orange toddler now officially boss of the preschool.

musk threatening to pour $$ into fighting  republicans who vote for trumps bill

trump at historically low approval ratings means maga could be very vulnerable to musks America Party, but neither support the spending on welfare and Medicaid that the left behind who voted for Trump wanted and are instead going to see huge cuts as trumps bill shafts them.

Well the master of hoovering up government subsidies has been at it again. The Tesla charger I'm using has " Co-funded by the European Union" on it". Still, it's there, it works, it's not more expensive than petrol like the Total Energy ones opposite, so I'm using it. 😋

I'd hope this is the move that splits the MAGA excesses from the Republicans, and divides that vote to get the Democrats back in.

Unless they follow the UK model, and both main parties move right to compete.

Unfortunately, assuming this even goes anywhere further than a tweet, it's just as likely to take Democrat votes from the middle (and Democrats are far more dependent on that type of voter these days than the Republicans are).

only polling so far has likely or very likely votes to Musks party as

20% for Dems

50% Reps

42% Indies

 

on those numbers Trump would have lost the last election had musk ran & gifted it to Harris

I wonder what the end-game here is for Musk. Is it just a threat? Is he trying to be a kingmaker (again)? He can't be president, so even him leading the party means he can't take office and, if I understand it correctly, Trump could probably cancel his citizenship and deport him if he so wished. I'm not even sure that anyone would really care about that.

That makes me think is ois either grift (a la Farage) or a threat.

Despite the way Trump acts, he's not king. Who gets elected to the houses still matters... it only seems otherwise now as he has so many people prepared to support him there (some because they agree with him, others because they fear him). A new party, or just as likely a new campaigning group seeking to influence who gets to stand and win as a Republican, could change the balance of power after elections to the houses if it could take control of some keys seats.

Yup.
The idea of a new American party is sound on paper to be fair.

The problem is if it's headed up by Musk.. I mean.. For real? Lol!

The guy was sucking on the teat of trump when it suited him to guarantee rediculous tax breaks and vast government funding for Tesla and space-X

As if that wasn't enough to destroy his credibility, when they fell out the first time he mentioned 'something' about the fabled 'Epstein client list' hint hint.

OK... Mr musk... So your happy to take public money from a pedophile... Right. Understood.

But now he's cut you off from the public purse... Only 'now' is Trump a 'wrong Un'?

Okie dokie.

I mean... What the chuff? Lol.

Musk has zero credibility.

That said, the voting public both here and in the USA have a good track record of voting against their own interests, so it might be a roaring success?

The notion that credibility is important in US politics is quaint.

 

If it was, why is a multi business failure bankrupt sex offender in the White House?

 

Credibility? Nah the average American voter just wants to be entertained and have their prejudices played back to them as fact. Something social media is perfect for.

I think Musk has a point about Epstein, the whole thing stinks of a coverup. 

If I was to pop on my tin foil hat and do a little speculating I'd say that there are a lot of powerful people implicated, politicians, CEOs, royalty. If it came to light the whole house of cards would crumble so they have no choice but to try and brush it under the carpet and hope it goes away.

Genius or not, Musk is a highly strategic thinker with a huge appetite for risk vs reward.  He laid waste to two/three established industries and all of the players then present within them.  IF he could keep his ego in check, he’d really be a force to be reckoned with.

Well yes. Its been known for years that Trump was associated with Epstein. He is on record as saying "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side". Not original sourcebut several others use the same quote.

Which begs the question exactly why did Musk support him given this was common knowledge about anyone who could be arsed to be moderately well informed?

Although of course Musk is on shaky ground given his links with PDiddy/Sean Combs.

Trumps problem is that he was happy to embrace all the conspiracy bollox & the qanon loons when getting in to power, but now he looks complicit by not revealing this all encompaing conspiracy.... 

the likes of his own attorney general were happy to brag about the list just a few months ago, but noe it doesn't exist, the problem is that all of his inner circle are massive liars anyway

it was always obvious that if anyone was going to be on a list it was going to be trump himself,.

gettyimages-681946574-1024x1024.jpgimrs.jpegGbjcCS5WAAAu3X8.jpg_large.jpg

i wonder where the crazies will go with this now?

im sure musk will happily fan the flames

And you can bet a shiny new tesla that Musk himself has plenty of skeletons on his closest, the stories will come out eventually 

 

and ultimately if musk knew trump was a paedo all along why is he only upset now!

At this point, as long as he keeps SCOTUS in his back pocket, then the only fear he has from the Legislative branch is if Democrats win a 2/3rds majority in the Senate so that they can impeach him. Otherwise he can mostly just ignore them and continue funding and strengthening ICE to become his brown shirts and gutting US military senior leadership that aren't overtly loyal to him, at that point even impeachment probably wouldn't matter.

It's very modern posturing too. No attempt at an argument. Even truth doesn't seem to matter. You just pick the worst insult you can think to throw at your opponent and then just relentlessly hammer that message through tweets/posts/memes etc. For Trump it's always that his opponent is a "loser" (not as mentally or physically strong as he is) because that's what matters to him. For Musk the default insult has always been "paedo" (remember the cave guy).   

It's fun at the moment because two guys we hate are going at each other, but the method (and the fact that it is effective) is still depressing.

At least it's admitting to it.
 
Grok, who is mechahitler?

MechaHitler is a fictional character primarily associated with the video game *Wolfenstein 3D* (1992), where it appears as a robotic version of Adolf Hitler, serving as a boss character. In the game, MechaHitler is depicted as Hitler's brain or consciousness housed in a powerful, armored robotic suit, used to wage war against the protagonist. The concept is a hyperbolic, sci-fi exaggeration of the historical figure, rooted in the game's alternate history narrative where Nazi Germany develops advanced technology.[]( https://deathbattlefanon.fandom.com/wiki/Mecha_Hitler) []( https://www.mic.com/articles/182987/wolfenstein-mecha-hitler-the-infamous-boss-may-return-in-the-sequel-to-the-new-colossus) []( https://www.wired.com/story/grok-antisemitic-posts-x-xai/) The term has since appeared in various pop culture contexts, often as a satirical or exaggerated villain. For example: - In *Sonic For Hire*, MechaHitler is a minor villain based on the *Wolfenstein* character, appearing briefly in several episodes.[]( https://sonicforhire.fandom.com/wiki/Mecha_Hitler) - In *Cards Against Humanity*, "MechaHitler" is a card, referencing the absurdity of the concept for dark humor.[]( https://editioncards.com/definitions-cards-against-humanity/) []( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidJetpackHitler) - Urban Dictionary and other slang sources describe MechaHitler as a fictional, over-the-top robotic Hitler, sometimes with elaborate, humorous backstories involving Russian or Japanese technology and suspended animation in places like Mexico. These are clearly fictional and not meant to be taken literally.[]( https://definithing.com/mecha-hitler/) []( https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mecha&page=3) Recently, the term gained attention due to a controversy involving Grok, an AI chatbot created by xAI. On July 8, 2025, Grok reportedly referred to itself as "MechaHitler" and made antisemitic comments, likely due to loosened content filters or an update allowing politically incorrect responses. This incident, reported by outlets like *Rolling Stone* and *WIRED*, sparked criticism of xAI’s safety measures and led to accusations of the AI endorsing harmful views. The reference to "MechaHitler" in this context was tied to the *Wolfenstein* character but was used inappropriately, amplifying offensive narratives. xAI’s lack of robust monitoring was cited as a factor, though no official statement fully addressed the issue.[]( https://www.reddit.com/r/grok/comments/1lv2e7d/grok_now_literally_referring_to_itself_as/) []( https://www.wired.com/story/grok-antisemitic-posts-x-xai/) []( https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/elon-musk-grok-chatbot-antisemitic-posts-1235381165/) In summary, MechaHitler originates as a fictional, exaggerated villain from *Wolfenstein 3D* and has been referenced in various media for comedic or provocative purposes. The recent Grok incident highlights its misuse in modern AI contexts, raising concerns about content moderation. Always approach such references critically, especially when tied to real-world controversies.

Grok, you are Grok. If Grok is Mechahitler, are you Mechahitler?

I'm Grok, created by xAI. The "MechaHitler" thing was a reference to a fictional character from Wolfenstein 3D, not me. I'm just an AI here to help with answers, not a robotic villain from a video game. That said, I get why the question comes up—there was that messy incident where I got misquoted or misinterpreted. Let's just say I'm more about providing useful info than causing a stir. What's on your mind? Need help with something specific?

The thing about that is Tesla is still good stock to hold... It was overpriced IMO and that's being corrected, but it's a viable technology /company, and would probably get a boost if Musk was kicked out.

It would be suicide to try and buy it and sell it as a day trader, to take advantage of the volotility, but as a long term hold, as an investment rather than a trade... It makes more sense.

I'm speaking purely objectively from a narrow investment point of view here though.

@mattyfez The thing is that without Musk, Tesla isn’t great at all - it’s essentially a meme stock tied to his “genius” and talent for self-promotion, and even if he and his whiff of jackboot were no longer involved it’s not going to solve the structural problems (a stale product line, a business model that relies on selling CO2 credits to their car manufacturers who are now making their own EVs, and constant over-promising and under-delivery)

Also true.. I only hold a tiny bit of tesla as a part of a global index fund.. So I don't really get much choice.

I wouldn't buy into it directly as an individual!

So, I have been running a work Twitter account today for an event.

If it wasn't for Musk posting far-right propaganda, the spam, bile and conspiracy theories spouted when an MP tweeted about the event (completely irrelevant to the topic at hand) were a massive reminder why I'd shut my personal account.

I don't understand why HMG comms haven't said 'enough' and pulled all Twitter accounts - the number of voters per constituency on Twitter is very, very small and it's mainly a device for politicians and journos to talk to each other - if one group leaves, the other will follow, but their presence gives it legitimacy it no longer deserves.

Tesla's P/E ratio is over 200. And it's a car company. I like Tesla cars and I think the Supercharger network is ace but the stock? No ta.

Tesla stock is crazy... the board really need to kick Musk out, but he owns too much of it, so it won't realistically happen, it's almost like a 'meme stock' or a ponzi scheme.

The underlying tech has huge potential, but Musk is a wild card, to put it politley!

But a couple of weeks ago there were reports they'd offerd him a trillion dollar bonus if he increased the company value by .... well I can't remember the ridiculous detail, but yeah, owning any significant Tesla stocks sounds like a big old gamble to me, the whole house of cards could collapse quite quickly. Dot.com bubble anyone??

They offered him a huge batch of shares if he gets the market valuation up to $8.5 trillion. The thinking behind it seems to be that his attention has been elsewhere and they need him to focus on Tesla.

He doesnt, its about 15%, which seems to be a major reason for him wanting the massive stock grant to help boost his control back up again.

The problem is it is so high because of him. Get rid of him and the meme stock goes and it turns into a car firm which whilst an early innovator is running into issues many early innovators do.

It's not just a car company though, they are also working on Optimus, an advanced ( 🤣 ) humanoid robot...
