95. If the next few years weren't going to be so devastating...

…they’d be fun to watch.

Sticking Elon Musk and Donald Trump together in the government will be like putting a wolf, a bobcat, an innocent bystander and a ton of rock in a mesh sack and throwing the sack in the river. The only thing those two assholes have in common is money. Elon Musk is everything Trump hates - Trump hates immigrants he isn’t sleeping with, electric cars, renewable energy… - all in the same person. And if Musk is truly interested in “government efficiency,” which I don’t think he is, he’ll figure out in about 15 minutes that Trump is its biggest impediment…come on, there are lots of golf courses in the DC area. Eventually they’re going to get sick of each other’s shit. The only question is how much devastation will they bring forth before they kill each other.
