Reddit is pure win this morning:

* "Trump getting rid of his Tesla after Musk broke his heart"

* "honestly kind of fitting that this level of catty public breakup
between two aging divas is happening during pride month"

* "This is Kendrick vs Drake for Republicans"

* "Bannon wants Musk deported; Musk wants Trump impeached.  Bernie
Sanders: 'why not both?'  "

* "Who gets JD Vance in the divorce?"

* "Darth Vader: 'without me, Palpatine would not have become Emperor,
the Jedi would control the senate, the separatists would still have an
army.  Such ingratitude.' "
