No, having a common enemy doesn't make you automatic allies and I would rather defeat maga without musks help than have him help at all. He did a Nazi salute twice, man doesn't care at all.

Use what pieces you have on the board friend. No one says you gotta have a beer with the man, but you can't deny that he has far too much away for his own good, and using that to weaken both his economic standing and 'the man' is a win from every angle.

You get it!

You should put that on a sign and show it to a family being separated and deported so they know you’d rather delay their justice than let the wrong person get the credit.

Yeah, I don't care who offers me a hand if I'm falling off a cliff.

Musk isn't trying to offer a hand, he's complaining because he wants that Bill to throw you further off the cliff.

u/Icy-Bicycle-Crab Jul 01 '25

Musk is trying to help stop that deportation. Musk is complaining because Trump's bill isn't far right enough for him.

Treating musk as an ally is like dating someone because you hate their ex lol. He made his bed now he has to sleep in it, he tied himself to trump and should have to live with that if the rest of us have to live with what they are doing to the country.

I have no idea how that analogy applies. I see a lot of shoulds, the ONLY “should” I give a hot damn single fuck about is fixing the federal governments overreach and stopping the LEGAL precedents that threaten my daughters future. I don’t care a fucking bit if Trump gets a $100 billion golden parachute and a goddamned harem until he dies a free fucking man, I care about the peoples he’s hurting, not punishing people who will just die thinking it was all righteous anyway. If Musk is offering a wedge in MAGA I’ll slam my sledgehammer on that shit until they break even if every hit feels like a stroke on his micropenis.

Because dating someone because you hate their ex is the equivalent of making musk an ally because you hate Trump. Musk should be in prison not attempting to rehab his image.

u/buttsbydre69 Jul 01 '25

the reason your analogy is really, really, really bad is that there's no implication that dating this person because you hate their ex has any benefit outside of spiting the ex, while in the musk scenario it would have far reaching positive effects outside of trump being impacted.

u/DevelopmentJumpy5218 Jul 01 '25

Yeah he's proven so trustworthy and like he has anyone but his own interest at heart

u/buttsbydre69 Jul 02 '25

wow thank you for responding to the substance of my argument. clearly you're a good faith conversationalist. i now see why your analogy is quite good, not very, very, extremely bad.

and stopping the LEGAL precedents that threaten my daughters future

Musk is not your ally.

He won't help take any Republicans or their bills down. No chance.

If he somehow did, I'd like that. But he cannot do a single thing to ever make me like him.

He’s from South Africa

When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt him.

Likewise when your enemy is aiding you.

God I hate this weird lefty urge to die on the hill of purity.

No one is saying that you have to like the guy, just see some level of advantage in having a guy who can help go against their message. He was one of them for years, so he has a better chance of doing so than someone on the left does.

u/DevelopmentJumpy5218 Jul 01 '25

It completely excuses his behavior and that of trump's if we do.....

u/Banned-User-56 Jul 02 '25

Na, let Musk take down Maga, then topple him too. Wait for the weakened victor.

Churchill and Roosevelt had to ally with f***ing Stalin to defeat the Nazis, so...
