LA protests: Musk Is Back to Boosting Trump After the President's Bombshell Threat

Musk Is Back to Boosting Trump After the President’s Bombshell Threat (The Daily Beast)

Elon Musk is making a desperate bid to get back in Donald Trump’s good books by resharing the president’s inflammatory social media posts about the Los Angeles protests.

Musk appears eager to move past their recent explosive bust-up after Trump warned the tech billionaire he’d face “serious consequences” if he switched allegiances and funded Democratic candidates.

As an apparent olive branch, Musk reshared a screenshot on X of Trump’s Truth Social post claiming L.A. has been “invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals” amid the protests and riots against federal immigration raids in the city.

Don't let Republicans out-strategize Democrats. There was serious public opposition to the budget bill. Trump's internal numbers were imploding. The fake fight is about expanding MAGA and keeping MAGA voters loyal to one or more brands of MAGA - Elmo MAGA, Trump MAGA, Bannon MAGA, Stew Peters MAGA, Alex Jonestown MAGA. When Trump does an unpopular action, one of the MAGA cult leaders attacks the cult leader, not to split MAGA, to keep the MAGA voters loyal to the movement.

"Jim Jones changes kool aid flavor to grape. Did you hear that, I am outraged. Alex Jones wants Orange Flavored Kool Aid, that is my kind of flavor of MAGA/Jim Jones Kool Aid"
