Ordinarily I for give you but I will respectfully defer to Dayo, the honorable spokesperson for Trump’s government on this forum. All I know is some left the White House with a black eye and suddenly became a 🦜 .

Let’s have it Dayo

The natural life cycle of the friendship of 2 despicable people.

Elon Musk having an icarus moment.

Flying too close to the sun.

Nobody fit fight government and win.

Can someone please give a summary of what’s happening between Trump and Elon Musk ?

Trump united several factions of the American polity to win the elections.
One of those factions want something to be urgently done about America's rising deficit.

Trump gets elected.
He immediately lets those guys, led by Elon, have a crack at deficit reduction.
They had some wins but then they inevitably stalled when the next item on the docket was taking an axe to military spending and America's beloved entitlement programs.
It is pertinent to note that while DOGE was in session, Elon disproportionately suffered the consequences while Trump skated by with nary a scratch.

Recall that part about several factions.
Well, Trump promised to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent to another faction that elected him.
He also promised no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and no tax on social security payments.
The WH does not control the purse strings. Congress does. Congress represents varied interest groups.
So if Trump wants to fulfill the tax cut promise to Wall Street, corporate America, and Main Street, he needs to cut soap for Congress critters.

Enter the Big Beautiful Bill (3B) that is America's version of a padded budget bill with million naira streetlights.
Nigerians call it padding. Americans call it pork.
Trump has to cheer for it for political expediency. Mid are a year out.
Elon is big mad Tesla sales dropped virtually everywhere including a whooping 49% in Europe actively pursuing a cause that this bill mollifies.
Elon sees the opportunity to rail against the bill to recover somewhat with the tree hugger crowd.
Trump is pushing back because he is a creature of habit. His golden rule is that all attacks, direct or implied, must be responded to.
That's the latest.

So can Trump deal with Elon Musk like a typical Nigerian government can deal with any billionaire or it’s a total ball game in the US ?

When you want to eff a billionaire up, you go for their funds.

Trump has already cut the subsidies and contracts Elon enjoyed with the previous government and this must feel like a betrayal of epic proportions considering how much money Elon spent to get Trump in office

Na wa o. But I thought they were all chummy and an item together …. I mean ; What changed ? What brought them to the stage where Trump is cancelling his contracts few months after he appointed him as head of DOGE!

Elon himself has acknowledged that if Trump had not won, he was a goner.
Harris and the Democrats would have wrecked him.
Trump can hurt him. That much is clear. He is in a weak position as well -- tesla sales have been declining -- courtesy of the DOGE fallout.

But there's a lot at stake, financially and politically, so there'll be an intervention.
The likes of Thiel (the Don of the PayPal Mafia which Musk is a member of) and Ackman are working the phones non-stop.
Elon has already walked back the SpaceX Dragon shutdown pledge. Trump is scheduled to have a call with him later today.

As dem tie the mouth of the bread nylon, wailings and gnashing of teeth begin.

Omo, you have killed me.

After going through ur lovely write up, all my desire to do these have finished.

Ndewo.

quote author=nihilistjnr post=135562420]

Omo my dad suffered trying to run piggery and fishery back in the day.

He bought some land around the Sango toll gate area and setup a few ponds and a couple of sheds for some pigs. I used to hate school holidays back then because it meant working long hours on a dirty smelly farm with all kinds of insects biting you from every angle.

Once a week, we would go to Nestle factory in Agbara estate to buy waste product from producing golden morn then bring it back to the farm in huge buckets which was already back breaking work, but then we'd have to break it down into smaller bits to feed the fish which was just mind-numbingly boring.

Then we would have to make our own pellets for feeding the some of the other fish as well, which was even more boring. In addition to this, we have to spread nets over the ponds to protect from the herons that would often swoop in, break them and eat our fish. The problem was that the fvcking fish too were eating each other, so we also had to keep draining the ponds to sort the fish by size and move them to different ponds, because Catfish are joyless cannibals when they see their smaller brethren.
And that's also not ing for the locals in the area that would hop our fence with net and basket to steal fish as well. We caught one particular guy in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon when my dad decided we must go and farm after church, and my brothers and I used annoyance and frustration to beat the guy to almost an inch of his life.
Then the locals gathered to threaten our whole family, my Dad pulls out a machete from the boot, and it becomes this whole mess that only the local Baale could resolve...which required my dad to to squeeze something to the actual thief, and act that pained him and all of us die

Anyway after draining the ponds you have to clean out all the muck and disgusting sht at the bottom, check the gills of the fish for fungus, and all manner of othet disgusting activities.

The piggery side of things was only slightly less disgusting. Pigs don't have hair so they coat themselves in all kinds of literal shit to protect themselves from flies and insects, and given that the farm was basically by a canal, you can only imagine what the hellscape looked like. The stench was unbearable sometimes. Some pigs are also f<cking aggressive and will happily bite your hand off if they could, so we had to watch out for the odd Napoleon when the sows were in hear. The boars will try to bite you and each other, as well as fvck each other. The sows will try to bite you and each other as well as fvck each other. And they're also cannibals.

I say all of that to say this - after enduring all of that BS, when it came to selling the meat and fish, the market women would price you down to almost a kobo if they could, and I saw my dad close to tears on one occasion when he realised that his side hustle wasn't just going to fail to generate the type of revenue he expected, he was going to be disrespected repeatedly during negotiations with the exact type of people he absolutely despises.

After running at a loss for a few years, the nigga just disbanded the whole thing, did a giveaway sale and shutdown operations, but that wasn't even the end of the L. The area where the farm was located is too marshy to house building without sinking stupid amounts of money into just the foundations alone, and nobody with the kind of money to do that is going to want to live anywhere close to the area, and so he sold the land for I think close to 50% loss.

Monumental L all around. I pity anyone trying to do that business at a small scale. You're just pissing in the wind. [/quote]

Thanks Boss. CT and XRay have come back clear. We are just waiting on Carotid artery MRI and Vitamin B12 test to know how far. Hoping it's Vitamin B12 deficiency so there will be hope of recovery. Na my Pale, the nigga was complaining of massive headache on Friday claiming some blood is trying to force it's way through some ventricles in his brain, by Saturday he's lost half his memory and calling us to come and witness his will and last wishes that he is going, so we itted him to hospital. The guy want die before his mother, selfish fellow

Dey play! 😂

Politics has always been — and will always be — a game of aligning similar interests, whether for the greater good of the people or for personal gain.

Unfortunately, we have too many hypocrites who claim to be fighting for the public good, while in reality, they’re only serving their own interests.

This isn’t an issue peculiar to Nigeria alone — in fact, I dare say it’s a global phenomenon.

It is what it is — that’s the game, my brother!

It’s the same reason I’m always sceptical of people who have built their careers or accumulated wealth by constantly aligning themselves with those in power.

You believe someone spent over $200m in campaign funds because he has the interest of people at heart?

Baba even ed call for Trump impeachment yesterday, I was shocked.

Las las, it's all about interest.
