Dude Feud Concludes

Musk’s feud with Trump was just the rants of a ketamine whacko.
He’s deleting tweets faster than an oligarch fresh out of bravado.
It seems Elon was just a gibbering lout
Who was the first one to chicken out,
And so apparently we’ve moved on from T.A.C.O to M.A.C.O.

(How) Will It End?

Musk started it, saying Trump’s bill was a “disgusting abomination.”
Trump responded, targeting Musk’s government contracts for termination.
So Musk threatens Trump with impeachment,
Then Trump mulls Musk’s deportation and banishment.
We hope it ends with a duel to the death, broadcast to a grateful nation.
