Understanding former President Donald Trump’s critique of Tesla CEO Elon Musk who he called a “bullshit art”, Musk said that he didn’t hate the man but it was time for Trump to “hang up his hat and sail into the sunset .”
Breitbart reported recently that Trump called Tesla CEO Elon Musk a bullshit artist at an Alaska rally. Trump claimed that Musk had pulled out of the deal to purchase Twitter, and that he also claims he voted for a Republican the last time he did so. I was told he had voted for me. He’s another bullshitt artist, but he won’t be buying it. However, he may later. It’s impossible to predict what will happen. His contract is pretty bad. His contract was not good. Register for Truth. Truth .”

Reponding to the Breitbart news video, Musk said that Trump should “take off his cap & sail into sunset .”
I don’t love the man but it is time for Trump’s head to go.
Dems must also stop the attack. Trump cannot survive if he is unable to win the Presidency.

Trump spoke out about Musk’s plan to buy Twitter from Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.
“I knew that Twitter had a lot of the fake accounts because I read, like everyone else does,” Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Friday night. I knew that there were a lot fake accounts, like bots and all the other things they used. It was outrageous to me that he had to pay such a high price .”
.
Trump correctly pointed out, too that he had “called it early” and that Musk wouldn’t end up purchasing Twitter. Trump spoke hours after Musk filed a formal motion to cancel his bid to purchase Twitter. This was due to concerns about the number of bot accounts that are on Twitter. Twitter’s Chairman, however, retorted that the company will attempt to enforce Musk’s agreement to purchase the company. Trump stated that he expected “a lot” of litigation over this matter.
” I called it early, and they said that the deal was unlikely to be made. “We’re going to have to see what happens because they’re going to be saying, ‘You owe us $44 billion’ because I hear they have a very tight contract. It’s supposed to be ‘iron-clad,’ but I don’t know how you define ‘iron-clad.’ But it’s an ‘iron-clad’ contract, and he put up a billion-dollar deposit, so I see that ending up in a lot of litigation.”
When questioned via Twitter about his issues with Trump’s presidency, Musk referred to the former President as a “bull in a china shop,” and stated that he believes the maximum age for the start of a Presidential term should be “69,” which is one of Musk’s favorite numbers to reference, along with 420.
Yeah, but too much drama. Are we truly ready to have a bull at a china shop every day?
Also, I think the legal maximum age for start of Presidential term should be 69.

According to people familiar with the matter, Twitter intends to sue Musk for his decision not to buy the company. Twitter’s hiring of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP to handle their legal needs seems calculated. This is because they have access to William Savitt, Leo Strine, and the Delaware Chancery Court, where the case might be heard.
Musk reportedly has Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP hired to represent him in this matter. The firm previously led a successful defense against a defamation claim in 2019 and is representing Musk in an ongoing shareholder lawsuit over his failure to take Tesla private in 2018.
