Trump Says Elon Musk's Bizarre Behavior Is Okay Because "I Have Certain Hatreds of People Too"

President Trump's $500 billion AI infrastructure project, dubbed Stargate, rustled plenty of feathers when it was announced this week — including reigniting a bitter feud between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and multi-hyphenate billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk.

Earlier this week, Altman proudly voiced his support for the initiative at the announcement, while flanked by Trump in the Oval Office. OpenAI is committing $19 billion to fund it.

Narcissists go through a cycle of overvaluation/devaluation. So enjoy being overvalued for a little while because you are about to be thoroughly trashed.

The NY Times opinion goons wouldn't stop shitting blue flames for weeks. But as usual, trump will get away with it. The power of drastically-lowered expectations.....

The only children who can afford to continue behaving that way into adulthood are those who grew up in an ultra-privileged environment.
