Prediction for Musk-Trump bromance:

1. After being put in charge of efficiency panel, Musk tweets that all can be solved with “reforms” of Medicare & SS.

2. Trump fires him, dubs him “Murdering Musk,” & “Illegal Alien Elon”

3. Musk turns X into 100% anti-Trump propaganda

Paris will be changing SUV drivers higher parking fees as a way of tackling what they’re calling “auto-besity.” Size, weight & motor will be taken into account to target “dangerous, cumbersome” vehicles. EVs & vehicles for “large families” will be exempt. https://t.co/Z2XGB072UI

This is what late-stage asphalt addiction looks like. The addict finds increasingly outlandish justifications to feed the addiction, destroying relationships in the process:
