    Part of me knows this has almost certainly got to be a distraction

    I mean, distraction from what? This is a melt down over a Must Pass budget bill that’s going to potentially reshape the global economy. Elon’s angry because his friends at the fringe of the US Senate are only getting most of what they want.

    Trillions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of employees, and whole administrative departments are hanging in the balance. Nevermind the fate of the US space program and the telecomm industry. Plus the next round of funding for both Israel and Ukraine.

    What else is there to be distracted from? The ability for these two assholes to agree on something is the hinge point on the next decade of history, easy.
