Let’s talk about the real reasons behind the implosion of the Elon Musk and Donald Trump bromance. Sure, Trump wants you to believe Musk was having a tantrum over EV tax credits getting axed from his “One Big Beautiful Bill.” But Musk has known about that for a while. Trump signed an executive order to remove EV charging stations across the country months ago. Plus, as Tesla’s reputation and shares took a nose dive, Musk continued to embed himself deeper in to the Trump administration. Sure, he supposedly was able to get rid of a lot of road blocks for Tesla while running DOGE - but that was just a bonus - not the end goal. I believe he had his eyes on some much bigger prizes. And the only reason to believe Musk’s rants about fiscal responsibility and deficit spending were sincere is if you believe the narrative that he truly got involved because he “wants to save the country.” If you really believe that’s what the dispute was about, you probably also think WWE wrestling matches are real. What actually happened is much simpler - and much more predictable if you’ve been paying attention to how power actually works. It’s not hard to see that months of frustration have been building up as Musk found himself increasingly sidelined from the real levers of power. This wasn’t about policy disagreements or philosophical differences about government spending. This was simply about control, access, and ego. The final straw came when Trump withdrew Jared Isaacman’s nomination to head NASA - Musk’s handpicked candidate who had already been approved by committee and was awaiting a full Senate vote. But that rejection was just the latest in a series of personnel defeats that had been eating away at Musk’s influence. He’d already been blocked from his preferred picks for the IRS and CIA. Marco Rubio wouldn’t let him into the State Department, and he got blocked from meetings at the Pentagon. For someone who spent north of $280 million helping Trump get elected, being treated like a junior advisor instead of a shadow president had to have been becoming increasingly intolerable. The NASA snub was particularly galling because space policy is literally Musk’s final frontier. SpaceX has $22 billion in government contracts at stake, and the company has essentially become NASA’s lifeline for getting astronauts to and from the International Space Station. If Musk can’t control personnel decisions in the one area that affects him the most, what’s the point of having influence at all? The writing was on the wall weeks before they started publicly feuding about spending bills. The thing is - the government has become so dependent on Musk’s companies that cutting ties would be practically impossible. SpaceX is the only American way to get astronauts to the space station, and there are literally people up there right now who need Musk’s rockets to get home. When Musk threatened to decommission Dragon spacecraft, he was essentially holding NASA hostage - though he walked it back hours later after someone presumably explained the optics of stranding astronauts in space. The broader lesson here is that when you give billionaires this much influence over government functions, personal disputes become national security issues. This isn’t just about hurt feelings and bruised egos - it’s about the fundamental question of whether critical infrastructure should be controlled by people whose main qualification is having money. Musk deleted his posts about Trump this morning, and they’ll probably kiss and make up eventually because they need each other. Trump needs Musk’s money and tech influence for 2026, and Musk needs those government contracts to keep his Mars fantasies funded. But this public meltdown has exposed just how fragile these power arrangements really are when they’re built on personal relationships instead of institutional frameworks. This whole mess is what happens when you hand over critical government functions to private companies run by mercurial billionaires. We’ve essentially privatized our way into a hostage situation where one man’s hurt feelings can threaten to strand astronauts in space. Think about how insane that is. The United States government - the same entity that put humans on the moon and built the interstate highway system - has made itself so dependent on Musk that his personal beef with the president becomes a national security crisis. We don’t have backup plans because we decided that competition and efficiency were more important than redundancy and reliability. This is the logical endpoint of decades of privatization rhetoric. Instead of maintaining government capabilities, we outsourced them to the lowest bidder - or in this case, the flashiest entrepreneur with the best PowerPoint presentation about Mars colonies. Now we’re discovering that private companies can hold essential services hostage whenever their CEO has a bad day. The problem isn’t just that Musk controls too much infrastructure - it’s that we’ve structured these relationships to make government dependent on corporate goodwill. When your space program, satellite communications, and electric vehicle transition all depend on one guy’s mood swings, you’ve basically turned governance into a reality TV show. The next time some politician tells you that private industry can do everything better than government, remember this moment. Remember when America’s space program nearly got shut down because a spoiled, billionaire narcissist didn’t get his way.

Koliko ljudi znas koji imaju kontrolu nad emocijama ? Pri tome ne mislim samo na socijalno uslovljenu kontrolu, ili nesvesno potiskivanje. Smrtokapa je dao dobar link koji dosta toga objasnjava. Moj pogled na stvar dolazi iz jednog drugog ugla, koji nije samo psiholoski.

Odvratni ljigavac.

Emocionalnost najcesece i jeste prepreka za racionalno rasudjivanje.

Kao proviziju uzimaju Star Link akcije, a nude cak i azil Svemirskoj Karen. 🤣 " Za ovu svađu među prijateljima kriv je isključivo dementni Donald Trump. Da je demokratski kandidat predsjednik do ove svađe ne bi ni došlo, a kad demokrat postane predsjednik prekinut će svađu u roku 24h, čak i prije nego službeno preuzme dužnost! "

The Dark Alliance of Putin and Trump After President Trump and Vice-President JD Vance “ambushed” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on live television, there could be no doubt. The United States has abandoned an ally and supported the Russian dictator who invaded Ukraine. Canada and other nations now know that America cannot be trusted to keep its word. ... Michael Harris, a Tyee contributing editor, is a highly-awarded journalist and documentary maker. Author of Party of One, the bestselling exposé of the Harper government, his investigations have sparked four commissions of inquiry. consider for the past two Democratic presidencies, they had to resolve major issues left by Republican administrations. Consider that W. cut taxes when he had a budget surplus b/c the@GOPdidn't want to pay the national debt. The growth numbers they used to justify it were lies.

Koji idiot.

Zamislite kako bi bilo dosadno da je Haris pobedila. Sada bi morali da pisemo o njenoj odeci i smejanju. Njena komunisticka ekonomska politika bi doduse bila sigurno devastirajuca za US i svet. US bi ostala mala i ne bi bilo Zlatnog Doba.

Tu su sigurno bili NATO generali.

All the poor little MAGAts have to choose which of their MAGA parents they're going to be fed shit by in future. The beauty of MAGA lies in how quickly and publicly they all turn against each other. It’s a dog eat dog world among the MAGA pack. Bannon: Muska treba deportirati „Trebali bi pokrenuti službenu istragu o njegovu imigracijskom statusu jer čvrsto vjerujem da je on ilegalni imigrant i da ga se treba odmah deportirati iz zemlje", rekao je Bannon u telefonskom razgovoru za NYT. Bannon je dodao da bi vlasti trebale istražiti i navodnu uporabu droga od strane Muska, na što su također nedavno ukazali mediji, uključujući The New York Times. Musk danas ima američko državljanstvo, no Bannon i neki drugi Trumpovi saveznici žele da se preispita pravna osnova njegova boravka i poslovanja u SAD-u. https://www.index.hr/vijesti/clanak/.../2677957.aspx? Trumpa treba smijeniti! Muska treba deportirati! Najbolje da se napravi i jedno i drugo pa ce svi biti sretni...

Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine like ‘children fighting in a park’ in White House meeting with Friedrich Merz – live Donald Trump, speaking to reporters during his meeting with Friedrich Merz, compared the Russia-Ukraine conflict to “two young children fighting”. “Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy,” the US president said. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. “Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart,” he added. Trump said he used that same analogy during a conversation with Vladimir Putin on Wednesday. I said, ‘President, maybe you have to keep fighting and suffering a lot, because both sides are suffering, before you pull them apart, before they’re able to be pulled apart.’ MAGA: "sta je sa nasim poreskim parama, treba zbrinuti nase siromahe" Stabilna budala: "smanjicemo poreze bogatasima i socijalna davanja za srednji sloj i siromasne, a uz to cemo povecati budzetski deficit i nacionalni dug" MAGA: "SUPER!" 🤣 PS Donald Trump is convinced that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine under his presidency. Russian President Vladimir Putin wants all of Ukraine, but "that won't happen," Trump said during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to the White House. Merz said the war must end. Trump also doesn't rule out further sanctions against Russia. "We're not going to make a deal if this doesn't stop," Trump continues. Sanctions are on his mind, and he will take a tough stance if the war doesn't end. This will affect both sides.

Stabilni ipak ima karte da im doskoci (ko jebe prirodu) - Trump officials open up millions of acres in Alaska to drilling and mining Doug Burgum says Biden order that banned drilling in 23m-acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska will be reversed Millions of acres of Alaska wilderness will lose federal protections and be exposed to drilling and mining in the Trump administration’s latest move to prioritize energy production over the shielding of the US’s open spaces.

Zasto ? Razgovor je bio veoma dobar i konstruktivan - predsednik USA aka stabilna budala i zli gnom su se dogovorili da russija i dalje moze da bombarduje civile po Ukrajini.

In his second term, Donald Trump has announced a tough stance against drug dealers and has not shyed away from the death penalty. "I'm prepared for the death penalty if you're dealing drugs," the US president told according to NPR . governors in February, Currently, however, Trump is causing a stir because he has pardoned several convicted drug dealers – including serious criminals with violent pasts. The most recent example is Larry Hoover, former leader of the notorious Chicago gang "Gangster Disciples." Trump overturned his federal conviction, even though Hoover had been convicted multiple times for murder, drug trafficking, and weapons offenses. As NPR reports, Hoover was involved in a drug empire that operated in 35 U.S. states. Former federal prosecutor Ron Safer, who prosecuted Hoover in the 1990s, was shocked: "They sold over $100 million worth of drugs annually in Chicago alone and defended their territories with brutal force." At least eight drug dealers pardoned Despite Trump's decision, Hoover remains incarcerated for the time being. He must remain in prison in the state of Illinois due to an old murder conviction. A state-level clemency request was decisively rejected in 2022. However, according to an anonymous White House spokesperson who spoke to NPR, the Trump administration expects Illinois to release Hoover as well. According to NPR, Trump pardoned at least eight drug dealers in the first few months of his second term alone – some with long criminal records. This pattern was already evident during his first term in office: Between 2017 and 2021, he overturned the sentences of at least 13 convicted drug dealers. Among them was Ross Ulbricht, founder of the darknet platform "Silk Road." The website was considered a hub for large-scale drug trafficking. According to US prosecutors, Ulbricht even ordered murders to protect his business—even though they were never carried out.

Prema objektivizmu, egoizam, inventivnost i učinkovitost su najviše vrline. Sebični industrijalci, koji utjelovljuju te vrline u najvišoj mjeri, stoga su "motor svijeta", a Rand vjeruje da će zaustavljanje tog motora dovesti do kraja civilizacije. Iz objektivističke perspektive, svaka vladina intervencija je nemoralna jer ne samo da ometa slobodan razvoj ljudi, već i narušava opskrbu stanovništva resursima, robom i uslugama (uključujući obrazovanje i zdravstvenu skrb). Stoga je strogi laissez-faire kapitalizam jedini legitimni ekonomski sustav. ... U prosvjedima protiv zdravstvene reforme 2009. godine. Baracka Obame Institut Ayn Rand i njegov predsjednik Yaron Brook odigrali su važnu ulogu. Michael S. Cullen vjeruje da su Randine knjige godinama propovijedale svijet u kojem junak kaže: Samo sam ja važan, zajednica uopće nije važna, vlada je užasna i mora otići, vlada sprječava moju sreću. „Ovu vrstu filozofije neki su pristaše Tea Partyja upili s majčinim mlijekom.“ ... Rand je 1974. godine operirana zbog raka pluća nakon desetljeća teškog pušenja. Godine 1976. povukla se iz svog biltena i unatoč cjeloživotnom protivljenju bilo kojem vladinom programu (iako je izjavila da samo oni koji se protive takvim programima imaju pravo na povrat svojih doprinosa), upisala se u sustav socijalnog osiguranja i Medicare te je uz pomoć socijalnog radnika ostvarila pravo na te naknade. This is what happens when you take Ayn Rand seriously

Trump plunges the US economy into chaos and uncertainty The erratic trade policy and the worsening fiscal crisis are dragging down economic growth and increasing the risk of a recession The word “recession” resurfaced last week in the minutes of the Federal Reserve. Economists at the U.S. central bank assign an equal probability to a full-blown economic crisis this year as to their baseline scenario, which is low growth. In just four months, U.S. President Donald Trump has plunged the world’s largest economy into chaos, confusion, and uncertainty with his erratic trade policy and aggressive budget agenda, putting the entire world on edge. The danger is not only recession but also fiscal and even financial crisis, as tensions in the bond and currency markets have made clear. ... Trump, who raised the deficit to a postwar record of 14.7% of GDP in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, returned to the White House proclaiming fiscal responsibility. In his March address to Congress, he promised: “In the near future, I want to do what has not been done in 24 years: balance the federal budget. We’re going to balance it.” The president, however, has pushed through legislation — his so-called “big, beautiful bill” — that goes in the opposite direction. “The Trump administration’s good intentions at the start of its term regarding budgetary discipline seem to have been buried,” said Yves Bonzon, chief investment officer at Julius Baer. Kako bese ono - da sacekamo rezultate ... 🤣
