Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, June 06, 2025

President Donald Trump has asked aides and advisers if they believe Elon Musk's behavior over the past 48 hours could be related to his alleged drug use, privately seeking to understand the tech billionaire's broadsides against him while signaling publicly he doesn't care, a source familiar with the conversations told CNN. In his own telling, Trump is not wasting any time thinking about the man who, one week ago, was receiving a giant golden key in the Oval Office and has since lobbed insults toward its occupant. The president told CNN's Dana Bash in a brief phone call Friday morning he was "not even thinking about Elon" and wouldn't be speaking to Musk "for a while."

Past 48 hours?

Waving a chainsaw around on stage like a lunatic was fine. Mean mouthing Lewzer? Not so much.

I have no idea. I doubt that he's really all that interested in politics for its own sake... just for what he can get out of it.

He can "strand" US astronauts on the ISS again and make some hay with that. The next flight has already been delayed.

He certainly has more control over Congress than Lewzer does, so he can influence legislation like the Big Stupid Bill.

Interesting times. Elon will probably flying around meeting with Putin, Xi, and Modi before long.
