LOL yes let's impeach him again. We are stuck with this Orange Turd. Republicans have given us this turd and we can't flush him for 4 years.
LOL yes let’s impeach him again
Why just once? Let's impeach him two more times.

I hate to be a Debby Downer, but the headline is a bit sensationalist. This is how Elon "called for Donald Trump to be impeached":
That's it. He wrote "Yes".
I don't think that's sensationalist at all. It's a pretty direct and clear call for impeachment.
But I'd rather talk about that original Tweet. Obviously, Trump being impeached (and convicted by the Senate) would result in Vance replacing him; that's how it works. But the choice to specifically highlight the Vance part of it implies not just a desire for Trump to be gone, but for Vance specifically to be in. Which is wild. I can't imagine any human on earth actually being pro-Vance. There's the sane people, who oppose the entire administration, and there's the Magats who are rabidly pro-Trump. Who exactly supports Trump's diet lacky?
Vance represents the tech bro "libertatian" wing with Thiel and those ghouls. Musk fits right in.
Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don't need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump's shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he'll be put out of power.

But that doesn't bring in the clicks. And really, that's all we care about, right?

I think they're both right. The government should cut all ties with Musk's businesses, and Trump should be impeached. That way everybody wins.
It hurts to agree with them doesn't it? Yet, it's so funny to watch them bite at each other.

Everyone that works with Trump always regrets it eventually. Everyone.
"Oh, but he won't do that to me ."
... I was not expecting this many people to (so strongly) take sides in what is basically a kerfuffle between two mega villains.
(Og) Nazis had a lot of infighting too, still fascist mass murderers.

Wow they are arguably the most powerful people in the world and they are having a public squawky slappy fight like stroppy toddlers.
Meanwhile humanity is circling the drain. We are so fucked.
Fortunately, America has an affinity for reality TV, and so they're distracted from whatever else this is a distraction for. I just have a part of me that can't believe what's happening.

Elon's going to lose this fight. All the other rich people backing Trump still think the snake won't bite them, and Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does. He had some good will for a while, but he's been burning that ever since the weird pedo guy thing, and that's nowhere near Trump's fucking cult energy. Forty years from now there's still going to be dumbasses and edgy teens talking about how they heard a rumor that Trump is still alive out there in the wastes that used to be middle America.
Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does
He used to, but then he started associating with Trump.
It seems he wasn't aware that his cult following came from the other end of the political spectrum.
Well, not quite the other end, but environmentally inclined business friendly liberals are still not quite Trump's crowd.
He really used to - remember all the iron man shit? The image of the benevolent billionaire who was going to open up space? I'm ashamed to admit I was tempted to believe too.
He lost the positive public image before he started associating with trump tho. I think what happened was he fired his PR team because he thought he could do better himself. Right around the time he got pissy and was calling that cave diver a pedo, the guy who saved a bunch of kids in Thailand. It was all downhill from there and I don't remember ever seeing anyone piss away so much public goodwill so quickly.

Musk wants his money back! I’d vote to let him return his purchase in this case.
250m for the opportunity to burn the wealthiest country in the world to the grouns? That was a one-time offer with an obvious no-return policy.

It was inevitable. Two egos as big as theirs cannot coexist in close proximity indefinitely.
I was a psychologist until I got burned out.
During those years, I observed something countless times that seems counter-intuitive but is in my anecdotal experience reliably true:
Narcissists tend to actually like each other, and seem to bond effortlessly. "you're the best thing ever? Holy shit, I'm the best thing ever! We're so amazing it's awesome!" type thing. It's fascinating.
That's why I'm not going to be played by this. Elon and Donald both have something significant to gain by pretending to "break up with" Each other, Elon trying to detoxify his brand especially internationally and Donald by proving he isn't Elon's bitchboy.
They might be legitimately warring in public, they might be playing the media and the people, there's really no way for outside parties to know at this time, and I wish people would pay more attention to the people Trump is hurting than this ultimately pointless real or not catfight. Invoking Epstein is low hanging fruit, as anyone who isn't in Trump's cult and paying any attention has been aware Trump is an Epstein pedo for years and years.

Elon could easily buy enough of the Senate to have Individual 1 removed at long last.
Fascist infighting is always fun to watch
It's not tho. This is, difficult as it is to say, America's leadership. It's disgusting, humiliating, and dangerous.

Never could have seen this coming… two narcissists that only get along as long as they’re powdering each others butts.
Now would be an optimal time for Putin to off one or both. Maximum chaos.
Buyer's Remorse
I want to know what’s happening quietly while everybody’s all consumed with the ego drama.

"[They] detested each other. Which makes sense, because they were both detestable."

Musk needs to put his money where his mouth is, otherwise this is just a long-con IMO.

At this point Trump running interference and cockblocking Thiel and his billionare creeper squad from re-enacting the Business plot would be the best ( and funniest ) result.
