Elon Musk “Hearts” Trump, Because He Is a Craven Russian Asset Same as Trump

Elon Musk sent a heart emoji to Donald Trump this week. That’s not satire. That’s not a parody. That’s reality. A man who once claimed to oppose Trump’s authoritarian ambitions, who posted—fleetingly—about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, who positioned himself as a “free speech absolutist” and technocratic renegade, now reduces himself to the emoji of a sycophant.
Why? Because Elon Musk, like Donald Trump, is not what he pretends to be. He is not an iconoclast. He is not a “real boy,” as I once wrote—someone who bought into his own hype and tried to test whether he was something more than a puppet. He is the puppet. Always has been. The heart emoji didn’t symbolize forgiveness. It symbolized submission.
It was the whimper of a man who realized he had lost the fight.
The Moment the Illusion Collapsed
The public spat between Trump and Musk had all the performative fire of two narcissists at war. Trump threatened. Musk fired back. Then came the Epstein post—brief, pointed, and soon deleted. Musk hinted at Trump’s flights on the “Lolita Express,” a clear jab at the well-documented connections between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. For a moment, it looked like Musk might draw blood.
But he blinked.
He deleted the post. He walked it back. And then, like a well-trained dog, he posted a heart.
This wasn’t peace. It was collapse.
Musk thought he was independent. He thought he could challenge Trump from the right, flex his cultural dominance, assert his own alpha status. But what he found—painfully, publicly—is that his power is conditional. That his billions don’t matter when the state turns against you. That Trump, for all his chaos, still owns a violent, cult-like base that Musk will never command. And most importantly: that the real leash isn’t in Trump’s hand. It’s in the Kremlin’s.
The Master They Share: Putin
Let’s speak the unspeakable. Elon Musk and Donald Trump answer to the same geopolitical gravity: Vladimir Putin.
Trump’s subservience is well-documented. He praised Putin while denigrating U.S. intelligence. He refused to respond when Russia placed bounties on U.S. troops. He tried to kneecap NATO and carried out a foreign policy agenda perfectly aligned with Moscow’s interests. He is not a free actor. He is a tool.
But Musk?
Musk plays a different role—softer, more technical, more plausible. He’s the "genius" cover for authoritarian experimentation. His role in destabilizing Twitter (now X), his reinstatement of far-right extremists, his platforming of Russian-aligned propaganda, his flirtation with anti-democratic voices—none of this is accidental. It is part of the same degradation process Trump carries out with troops and flags: wear down democracy, inject confusion, call it freedom.
When Musk posts a heart emoji, it’s not just about mending fences. It’s about aligning himself with the true axis of power that connects Mar-a-Lago to Moscow.
The Silence Over Epstein Speaks Loudest
And then there’s Epstein. Musk’s decision to delete his post condemning Trump for flying to Epstein Island is the final proof of the man’s moral vacancy. Say what you want about Musk’s intellect or ambition—but to back off a documented serial abuser of girls, just to curry favor with Trump, shows exactly where Musk’s spine ends.
He will cover for child abuse. He will cover for fascism. He will do anything, say anything, delete anything, if it keeps him relevant in the circles of power he pretends to disrupt.
Because Elon Musk is not brave. He is not disruptive. He is a courtier, begging at the feet of the very tyrants he once cosplayed as opposing.
This Was Always the Ending
The truth is: Elon Musk never had the strength to stand apart. He wanted to be Tony Stark, but he was always just a well-funded Peter Thiel knockoff. When Trump came for him, he folded. When real power threatened to shut him out, he submitted. And when it came time to choose between truth and access, he sent a heart emoji and deleted the evidence.
You don’t need to read between the lines anymore. They’re written in all caps:
Musk has joined the enemy. Trump is the weapon. Putin is the master.
And now, they’re all aligned—against democracy, against accountability, and against anyone who still dares to think the future belongs to truth.
