The boomerang effect and the blowback is spectacular and self-defeating. The Trump strategy is greatly helping defeat Trump, like they didn't think this through and consider all options for their election strategy. The campaign is flailing and engaging with others whose reputations are also failing is an example of being blind to challenge they face. Using Musk as a means to access possible voters is yet another failure as Musk's reputation is so bad it is tanking Tesla and forcing prospective buyers away in droves.

I do wonder about how Trump really felt about last night's Xitter debacle? He spazzed out at the organizers of NABJ for their technical issues and starting 45 minutes late, but Musk's event also started 45 minutes late and was plagued with technical issues. I wonder if Trump was as pissed and disrespectful with his fellow racist as he was with black journalists?
To be fair to Trump, I think his insanity with NABJ was mostly about misogyny, and less about racism.

There is some discussion to be had over how racist Trump actually is and how much it's just him being a conservative populist, but his misogyny is just really obvious.
