[Asperger's Syndrome] Elon Musk appeared to extend an olive branch to [Would-be King and likely Epstein Island-visiting child molester] Donald Trump in a social media post over the LA protests, fueling speculation that they could be soon "back together."
The tech billionaire's gay "bromance" [on his way to being a trillionaire] with Donna came to a fiery end last week in an ugly online spat between the pair on Thursday after several days where Musk had been criticizing the US government over the president's "big beautiful bill" [which actually an "abomination" according to Musk].
[Musk can't afford to lose all those U.S. government contracts that made him the richest man on the planet, just behind fellow AfricanMansa Musa and perhaps a few others who secretly hold their wealth in ways that prevent them from getting credit for it by curious bean counters, like multibillionaire heads of state and dictators, to say nothing of hedge fund managers and professional blackmailers like Epstein and Diddy].
Trump threatened to cut Musk’s government contracts and the tech billionaire claimed that US government hasn’t released all the records related to sex abuser trafficker Jeffrey Epstein because Trump is mentioned in them.

The nationwide Anti-President Trump Movement "Hands Off!" is expected to be the largest single-day protest this Saturday since the Orange Menace entered office. Why it matters:
I'm here to Make Israel Great Again (MIGA).
The Trump administration's wide-reaching and ground-shaking policies have mobilized a varied cross section of Americans affected by political, economic, social and legal changes.
"This is not just corruption," the Hands Off! website says. "This is not just mismanagement. This is a hostile takeover."
By the numbers: More than 1,100 rallies, visibility events, and meetings were scheduled in all 50 states as of Wednesday (April 3, 2025) afternoon.
Organizers said they had gotten nearly 250,000 RSVPs as of March 29.
R'n'r for freedom? Support brave journalism
The latest: White House Garden tours scheduled for Saturday were postponed to Sunday in anticipation of D.C. protests, First Lady Melania Trump said on Thursday.
State of play: Protesters are rallying against several Trump administration policies, including its handling of Social Security benefits, layoffs across the federal workforce, attacks on consumer protections and anti-immigrant policies and attacks on transgender people.
The protests are also against Elon Musk's involvement in the federal government via DOGE — after he's already faced a wave of [vandalism and] demonstrations at Tesla dealerships worldwide via the #TeslaTakedown movement.
The Hands Off! demonstrations will occur at state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices, and city centers.
Dozens of advocacy organizations are partnering to support Saturday's action, including the Center for LGBTQ Economic Advancement & Research, Declaration for American Democracy, the Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible and Planned Parenthood.
Two out of two women agree, these sh*ts suck
What they're saying: "This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history," the movement's website said. "Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rights — enabled by Congress every step of the way."
