Look, there's been a big breakup this week and sometimes in situations like this, people

say nasty things that they don't really mean. But also, sometimes they say nasty things

that they do really mean. And I get the feeling that we're in the latter type of situation

this time around. Just six months ago, Elon Musk was on top of the world.

He had funded Donald Trump's election win, jumped around behind him on stage in a show of support,

and had even been given a civil service job, something to do with procurement as a reward

for his help.

Early on, there were signs that things might not work out. I feel there's a slight

expression of irritation or maybe even disgust on Trump's face in the iconic jumping

Elon photo. The biggest sign that things would not last, of course, was the Jim Kramer

tweet. Once Kramer said that he was bullish on the friendship, you could basically

set your watch to it knowing that disaster was looming. At first though, everything was going

well. Elon Musk tweeted on his version of Twitter that he loved Trump as much as a straight

man can love another man. And I think that Trump tweeted some

positive things about Elon too on his version of Twitter, but I guess because of all of the

drama yesterday, everyone was trying to see what was being said on Trump Twitter and the website

crashed, leaving only this somewhat sad message that there are no truths.

But it did at least let us know that in this post-truth world, that in the event that

Donald Trump does compose a truth, we will be able to find it right there.

So I suppose we should keep an eye out for that.

There's no way around it though.

Elon Musk was off to a great start in January.
