AutoSpies.com Pulls A Donald And Coins A New Nickname For Elon Musk. #ElectricTrump

Reflecting upon the past week, it's been a rather brutal one for Tesla's Elon Musk. And, based upon what we've been seeing on a daily basis, it seems like Musk has actually more in common with another lightning rod of a figure.

President Donald Trump.

Given that Musk was formerly a part of Trump's business advisory committee and built some sort of billionaire's bond with Trump, we think there may be something else going on with Tesla. Although Musk clearly says he sees things different than Trump, (e.g., the Paris agreement) it seems as though he's almost learned from the master.

THINK: He's always in the news, daily. Sometimes it's small things, other times it's BIG news stories. Perhaps he's figured out, like Trump, that negative public relations doesn't matter all that much in the new age. And then, there's his avoiding/lying that he seems to have picked up from President Trump. Take, for example, last night's denial of his donation to a top GOP PAC. Musk claims the reports are false; however, the databases do not lie — he's been making donations to right-centric political organizations.

We're not quite sure what he's figured out here, but it's clear there's some sort of inspiration or working of the media that Musk has figured out.

Because of this, we felt inspired by our president and we've decided to give Musk an all-new nickname. And that would be, Spies, #ElectricTrump.

Spies, you should stick to car stories. Leave the nicknames and jokes to the late night hosts. They have professional writers to help them out. This post is nothing more than chum in the water to trigger a feeding frenzy of rabid Trump supporters and Elon Musk haters. Id' rather read about cars.

@MD - That's ok

A) Two weeks ago it was you who asked people why they were not posting about cars?
B) I saw the Trump Putin presser today. Treasonous is now the word of the day
C) 2018/2020 are now totally up for grabs
D) Trump will a forgettable 1 Term President. Today was a very, very dark moment
E) The GOP just may finally turn there back on a sitting GOP president

@CANADIANCOMMENTS: I hope you're right, but the GOP sure seems to be getting in line with #45. Some have uttered "unfavorable" words for #45, but for the most part, they fall well short of openly opposing him and calling him out.

Even after the "Putin's Bitch in Helsinki" debut performance, only about 35% of Republicans polled believe that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and about 40% of polled Americans continue to stand behind #45.

This is the face of America, like it or not.

I'm curious how things will unfold; that includes the Mueller Probe, ongoing arrests and indictments, ongoing guilty pleas of Trump Cronies, an American administration unsurpassed in its lies and treachery, and the unwavering support of its cult-like followers. Is stupidity that prevalent in America? The answer becomes clearer and clearer with each passing day, with each new scandal and revelation, and in the expression of Americans who stand up to proclaim "I'm good with that! It reflects my thinking and values!"

Nazis marching in America's streets? Child forfeiture for "undesirables" entering the country? Starting trade wars with America's closest trading partners? Alienating nations that were America's closest military alliances and befriending dictators and oligarchs? There are millions of Americans who STILL proclaim "I'm good with that! It reflects my thinking and values!"

If you want to get a better glimpse of the insanity that is pervasive in America, catch Sacha Baron Cohen's new TV series, "Who Is America?" It's beyond belief (for rational people), but the persons interviewed accurately reflect millions of Americans' thinking!

This is the face of America, like it or not.

At least Tesla has accomplished something and did not inherit daddy's company and run it into bankruptcy.

Trump is in Finland today getting his performance review from Putin. Putin got a great deal for what he paid for. Sad.

Funny how repubi-fascists who hated Putin 3 years ago (except the actual fascists at Fox) are now kissing his ass. This KGB alumni will do anything to destry the USA's standing in the world. And DumbDonnie is helping him.

And Putin made DumbDonnie wait and hour. What a show of disrespect. What does Putin have on him that makes him takes this abuse? Makes DD look even weaker. Sad.

It's not uncommon. Putin is a busy man, so his employees sometimes have to wait for their annual performance review.

Although I do not support current president - I would not say that he necessarily represents the Republican party - which at least part of is more like MattDaringer.

Over the years - I have found that most politicians are well meaning at the beginning - and power hungry near the end - from all parties. BUT - I still believe that Politics is a profession - not something a person can just decide to do - they need to be trained over some years in various positions. Daffy has no such knowledge - was trainer as a poor used car salesman (Like Matt again) - and really does not know what to do - but will not listen to anyone else - because he is always right!

We have - over MY lifetime - had good politicians from ALL the major parties - and stinkers from all of them too. It is like choosing a Watermelon - some are red - ripe - and taste good - and others not so much - but you cannot tell from the outside.

He definitely does not represent the Republican party and they don't realize that yet, but it will be to their detriment.

@MD. It depends. The more strange stuff Trump does on the world stage the greater the likelihood that there is a GOP leadership challenge in the runup to the 2020 election. There could even be more than one challenger. Trump could lose and declare victory and go back to Trump Tower, or he could then run as an independent and split the GOP vote. Either way it will be interesting.

@CC Trump's reelection in 2020 is a sure thing given that there is not one viable Democrat on the horizon. Kamala Harris who gave Willie Brown sex favors for power and political favors is the best they have and she's unelectable.
