It was February 7, 2025. A Friday.<\/p>\n
Elon Musk<\/strong><\/a>, the richest man on the planet, posted on X: \u201cI love @realDonaldTrump as much as a straight man can love another man.\u201d<\/p>\n Kanye West<\/strong><\/a>, in the middle of what would become a multi-day antisemitic meltdown, posted two words: \u201cIM A NAZI.\u201d<\/p>\n And President Donald Trump<\/strong>,<\/a> apparently unbothered by either of those developments, took to Truth Social to announce the most urgent matter facing the nation: \u201cI will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don\u2019t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!\u201d<\/p>\n Someone screenshotted all three posts side by side and captioned it \u201cthe best day in Twitter history.\u201d Millions of people saw it. Nobody could believe all three were real.<\/p>\n All three posts went live within hours of each other. Same day. Same internet. Same timeline.<\/p>\n That was one year ago. Here\u2019s where all three men are now \u2014 and somehow, it only gets weirder.<\/p>\n The Bromance That Exploded<\/strong><\/p>\n I love @realDonaldTrump<\/a> as much as a straight man can love another man<\/p>\n \u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n When Musk posted his love letter to Trump, the two were practically living together. Musk had spent $288 million helping Trump win the White House. He was running the Department of Government Efficiency. He reportedly slept at the White House on some nights.<\/p>\n A month later, Trump turned the White House South Lawn into a Tesla showroom \u2014 sat in a red Model S with Musk, held up handwritten notes with Tesla prices for the cameras, and said he\u2019d pay by check.<\/p>\n By June, Musk was calling Trump\u2019s spending bill \u201ca disgusting abomination.\u201d Trump was calling Musk a \u201cTRAIN WRECK\u201d and privately telling people Musk was \u201ca big-time drug addict.\u201d Musk accused Trump of being in the Epstein files. Trump threatened to cancel his government contracts and told a Michigan rally crowd that maybe Musk should \u201cgo back to where he came from.\u201d<\/p>\n When one X user told Musk that Trump had always planned to \u201cuse you and drop you,\u201d Musk responded with a sad-face emoji.<\/p>\n By September, they were speaking again. By January 2026, Musk posted a smiling photo from dinner at Mar-a-Lago: \u201c2026 is going to be amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n He\u2019s now writing checks to Republican campaigns ahead of the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n The Man Who Called Himself a Nazi Is Now Selling Out Stadiums<\/strong><\/p>\n Kanye didn\u2019t stop at \u201cIM A NAZI.\u201d That same weekend, he posted \u201cI LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B****ES,\u201d called himself racist, and aired a Super Bowl ad directing viewers to his website. When they got there, the only item for sale was a $20 white T-shirt with a black swastika on it. The product was labeled \u201cHH-01\u201d \u2014 reportedly code for \u201cHeil Hitler.\u201d According to TMZ, the ad generated $2 million in sales. Shopify pulled the site down two days later.<\/p>\n Before deactivating his X account, he thanked Elon Musk \u201cfor allowing me to vent\u201d and called the experience \u201ccathartic.\u201d His wife Bianca Censori reportedly nearly left him over the shirts. The New York Post quoted a source saying the swastika merch was \u201cthe last straw.\u201d<\/p>\n That was a year ago.<\/p>\n Today, Kanye West is headlining a world tour. Sold-out shows in Mexico City. A 60,000-seat concert in India \u2014 his first ever. A 103,000-capacity festival in Italy this July. A new album on the way. And Bianca \u2014 the wife who almost left \u2014 just broke her public silence in interviews, doing press alongside him.<\/p>\n In between, he showed up uninvited to Diddy\u2019s sex trafficking trial in an all-white outfit, confirmed he was there to support Combs, watched from a private overflow room for 40 minutes, and left.<\/p>\n In January, he took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal apologizing for everything, blaming a manic episode and a brain injury from a car accident 25 years ago.<\/p>\n Australia banned him from entering the country. Everywhere else is selling tickets.<\/p>\n The Straw That Broke America\u2019s Back<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don\u2019t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!\u201d \u2013President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com\/VUua4pVSwT<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The White House (@WhiteHouse) February 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While Musk was professing love and Kanye was professing Nazism, Trump signed an executive order titled \u2014 and this is real \u2014 \u201cEnding Procurement and Forced Use of Paper Straws.\u201d<\/p>\n The White House then produced a 45-page strategy document to implement it. The opening section was titled \u201cThe Straw That Broke America\u2019s Back.\u201d It directed every federal agency to remove paper straws from government buildings.<\/p>\n During the signing ceremony, Trump addressed the environmental concerns directly. \u201cI don\u2019t think that plastic is going to affect a shark very much,\u201d he said, \u201cas they\u2019re munching their way through the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n For context, plastic straws account for roughly 0.025 percent of the plastic waste that enters the world\u2019s oceans each year.<\/p>\n The executive order is still in effect.<\/p>\n One Screenshot Later<\/strong><\/p>\n The best day in Twitter history. pic.twitter.com\/6pBM3iM6Dq<\/a><\/p>\n\n
