Tonight at 8 pm, sprung on everyone at the last minute apparently.

Trump and Elon Musk, X’s owner, are slated to have what the tech titan has termed a “live conversation” at 8 p.m. Eastern Time that will be “unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!” Musk is soliciting X users to pose their own questions.

Will Trump DeSantis himself? I hope so.

    You’d think, but that probably won’t happen unless one of them recognizes and accepts that they’re much lower-status then the other.

    Narcissists don’t do well in groups, especially when they’re all roughly equivalent status. There’s a ridiculous amount of infighting and posturing as they try to establish dominance over each other.

    Watch Musk or Trump when they have to deal with something who reality requires them to defer to (eg, like Xi or Putin). They look almost depressed and broken, because in a very real way, they are.

    What you’re describing happens when a sycophant praises a narcissist, or when a narcissist is drunk on praise from a sycophant. That’s when the rhetorical fellatio really kicks into high gear; when the narcissist is getting high on supply.
