It's hilarious that EM thinks we were waiting for him to get mad at Trump to realize what a monster he is. They're both disasters and it's the most obvious shit in the world.

A part of Hitler's rise to power was the night of long knives, where he had Nazi party members jockeying for his spot assassinated by the brownshirts.
Seeing as how everything is dumber in America, I suppose this is their version.
You got your history a little bit off. The leaders of the brownshirts were assassinated by the blackshirts (the SS). The brownshirts were the victims of the Night of the Long Knives, and they never achieved the level of importance in Hitlers hierarchy as they had held earlier.
I don't also really see the similarity with what is going on right now. Ernst Röhm was only powerful because of his position within Hitlers ranks, and he was taken out immediately and secretly with no open feud going on between them. It was Hitler removing old baggage within his own ranks, as he had outgrown them.
Röhm was never a powerful figure on his own. But both Trump and Musk are powerful in American society independent of each other, and, assuming this feud is real, it makes it much more interesting than The Night of Long Knives, because they both have the capability of dealing a lot of damage to each other.
i think trump administration is less competant than hitlers.
if elon was around and rich enough back then, he would've been there too
He was around and also was friends with Epstein and Maxwell.
FYI, Trump is pissed that Elon is shitting on his "big beautiful bill" and threatened to cut his contracts this morning.
Trump says Musk went ‘CRAZY,’ suggests cutting government contracts for his companies
This is Elon's open handed slap back.
So he only just discovered the thing we've all known for years?
It was the only way to trip into the better timeline. The writers were too hungover to figure out anything else.
