Elon is the head of DOGE. His job in that capacity has been to directly advise Trump. So his calling Trump's top advisor on trade policy "Peter Retarrdo" and "dumber than a sack of bricks" does seem newsworthy.
i didnt question whether it was news worthy i pointed out the difference between one party that is not afraid to disagree with each other and another that is always in lockstep with each other.

Nothing in State's regulations that precludes FedEx from providing affordable healthcare. Nothing.......
You assume that everything else is affordable so FedEx can provide affordable care. But everything isn't affordable anymore and FedEx isn't going to spend a huge chunk of its profit covering medical bills. "They could if they wanted to" isn't realistic.

health care could be more affordable if we stopped paying for the illegals

I bet right now you're praying that the markets crash again so that you can look smarter than you look right now
Not praying for it, but expecting it.
5,000 point crash, suddenly phony news about a 90 day pause and Trump officials discussing an off ramp to the tariffs with countries like Japan.

Markets are only stable because talking this out seems to be an option still. If Europe retaliates and other countries follow suit it is a disaster for the US.

This is absolutely true:

WSJ:

Musk Calls Trump’s Trade Adviser a ‘maroon’

"Elon Musk continued his spat with Peter Navarro, President Trump’s top adviser on trade policy, saying in a social-media post that Navarro “is truly a maroon.”

Musk’s retort came after Navarro said in a TV interview Monday that Musk—the chief executive of Tesla, one of the world’s largest makers of electric vehicles—is a “car assembler.” Navarro also said that the component parts of Musk’s vehicles are made overseas.

“Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” Musk responded Tuesday. In a separate social-media post, he called Navarro “Peter Retarrdo,” referencing the common slur for a person with a mental or intellectual disability."
the official white house response: boys will be boys. I love it.

Trump administration never said anything about a 90 day pause. Why is it ok for Europe to practice protectionism but we have to take it in the shorts? They're the ones with more to lose selling into our market because we don't get the same considerations in theirs.

sucks that red states have to pay more taxes so blue states can house illegals
That's a pretty good point. There's an exodus out of blue states so the blue states are importing new residents to keep their total number of representatives. But everyone has to pay to support the new residents.

Don’t mind me, I just got added to a text chain by someone in trumps inner circle about which countries are talking to us now and which ones aren’t.
