Transcript:
it's Pride Month so it feels only right
to honor America's two dads it felt like
just yesterday that they first fell in
love but today that's all gone this is
just another
day well as much as we were rooting for
them America's favorite celebrity couple
is breaking up and it's getting nasty
it's been a spicy few hours between the
president and Elon Musk and things just
ratcheted up even further there's that
old saying that it's not personal it's
just business well now it's business and
it's personal between President Trump
and Elon Musk oh man first Bennifer and
now Elump yep seems like just yesterday
we were all glued to our screens
watching the finale of 136 Day Fiance as
both of these guys showered each other
with praise for months we've watched
these two men gleefully be up in each
other's asses on a daily basis and we
assume that the one thing that could
never be penetrated was their bond elon
called me he said "You know they're
trying to drive us apart." I said
"Absolutely." But like so many classic
love stories it wasn't in the cards for
our heroes after Elon publicly derided
Donald spending bill we knew there was
only so long that Trump could keep quiet
i'm very disappointed because Elon knew
the inner workings of this bill better
than almost anybody sitting here better
than you people he knew everything about
it he had no problem with it all of a
sudden he had a problem and he only
developed the problem when he found out
that we're going to have to cut the EV
minted yeah this is all classic
relationship stuff we've all been there
there's some unspoken tension because
one person feels like the other owes
them you know like if you do the dishes
you expect your partner to take the
trash out or if you pour $300 million
into a re-election campaign you expect
your partner to hand your company
billions in fat government contracts but
this is what happens when you don't
communicate properly feelings get hurt
and when that happens well that's when
the jab started coming remember he was
here for a long time you saw a man who
was very happy when he stood behind the
oval desk and uh even with a black eye i
said "Do you want a little makeup we'll
get you a little makeup." But he said
"No I don't think so." Which is
interesting wow trump took a break from
being Elon's ex to being his Jewish
mother-in-law oh you wearing
that interesting but like any toxic
relationship it's the abuser who simply
refuses to admit fault i'll tell you
it's not he's not the first people leave
my
administration and they love us and then
at some point they miss it so badly and
some of them embrace it and some of them
actually become hostile yeah it's kind
of like you run a uh what's that word
cult but like Trump said he's had
breakups before he expects a little
hostility i'm just not sure he expected
this level of hostility without me Trump
would have lost the election dems would
control the House and Republicans would
be 51 to 49 in the Senate such
ingratitude okay come on guys we're all
adults there's no reason that we have to
fight in public the easiest way to save
money in our budget billions and
billions of dollars is to terminate
Elon's governmental subsidies and
contracts i was always surprised that
Biden didn't do it musk replied to Trump
online such an obvious lie he says so
sad fellas fellas let's all just take a
deep breath and calm down before someone
tweets something that they might regret
but the rest of us love time to drop the
really big bomb atreal Donald Trump is
in the Epstein files that is the real
reason they have not been made public
have a nice day DJT
holy musk just went scorched Earth
scorched Mars oh yeah babe i snore when
I sleep yeah yeah well you molest
children look I'm no relationship expert
but I'm of the mind that once you accuse
your ex of
pedophilia might be a sign that you're
not getting back together what's so
tough about all of this and watching
this messy divorce is all of the people
caught up in the middle though i mean
think about the kids big balls must be
so unfappy lauren Boowbert was so
distraught that she used her one free
hand to tweet "Stop it." And Jack Pac
wrote "Some of y'all can't handle two
high agency males going at it and it
really shows this is direct
communication phalloscentric versus
indirect communication gyocentric i
understand if you aren't used to it
for a movement that is so decidedly
homophobic these people are obsessed
with penises and now like every breakup
even the friends are being forced to
pick sides steve Bannon is one he
immediately declared that he's not just
on team Trump he's team destroy Elon
president Trump tonight should sign an
executive order uh uh calling for the
Defense to Production Act to be called
in SpaceX and seize SpaceX tonight
before midnight also as we Stuart
Stevens talked back in in January I
don't know why we haven't had a full
investigation look if you're going to
deport illegal aliens you got to deport
illegal il illegal aliens i happen to
believe given the facts that I've been
shown that he's an illegal alien and
illegal aliens got to be deported can
you imagine trump makes a huge display
of rescuing all white South
Africans except for one who accidentally
gets put on a plane to El Salvador
tomorrow i'm just kidding elon would
obviously be able to defend himself
thanks to due pro oh that's right and
it's not just Bannon other friends are
taking Trump's side and speaking up too
although they might be more helpful if
they didn't still love Trump and I
really like Elon this is just a really
crappy scenario right now and I really
hope these two can patch these things up
because I think Elon took a low blow by
tweeting that quote DJT was on the
Epstein client list and also Elon if you
knew he was on the Epstein client list
why did you let him board Marine One
with your son yeah Elon if you want to
keep kids so safe why'd you let King
Touch get so close to your kid i mean
he's definitely not a predator but if he
somehow is it's your fault for being so
cool with it look at the end of the day
one thing is crystal clear relationships
they're hard they don't always work out
and there's never usually one specific
reason as to why it's usually a
collection of issues that have been
building up over time i mean on the
surface this is a couple that should
have gone the distance just look at them
they have so much in common both have
kids from previous relationships both
obsessed with sticking to a strict
workout regimen and we all loved
watching the honeymoon phase two guys
who were seemingly so perfect for each
other they'd even playfully raid each
other's closets but clearly there were
deeper issues all along that I presume
both thought they could change about the
other when they decided to get involved
you know Trump had those anger issues
like that one time he was cool with
hanging his ex right after the election
loss but despite the warning signs Elon
is just like the rest of us he heard the
stories and still thought that'll never
happen to me but sadly it did the minute
Elon and his cash cannon lost all
usefulness Trump decided that it was
time for him to move out but in an
effort to make this an amicable split he
even gave the guy a spare key so he
could drop by any time and let's not all
put this on Elon trump ignored the
warning signs too everyone told him that
Musk was a guy who routinely put his
work over his relationships and someone
in constant need of space but Trump
assumed over time Elon would grow out of
his silly hippie phase unfortunately for
Donald it wasn't a phase this is who
Elon is for both men coming to the
realization that they couldn't change
the other was ultimately their downfall
sadly this is one of those classic love
stories that we've seen a thousand times
before about two strong willed
individuals one of whom might be a
sexual predator that didn't work
out
