According to their public claims, Elon Musk is 6’2″ and President Trump is 6’3″.
So what is going on here?

We know that Trump is actually 6’1″. There are many pictures of him standing next to Vince McMahon and Barack Obama, and they are all the same height. Obama and McMahon are 6’1″, so the math is easy.
But that little bit of fudging doesn’t explain the size difference in the picture.
Does Elon wear Herman Munster shoes?

He is exactly the kind of shithead that would wear lifts.
Go-Go Tesla boots & hat (Inspector Gadget for those missing the reference…)
They are both little pricks.
People lose height as they age. Trump should have lost a little over 1 inch as of now.
Are you saying Mr. President might be lying about his height??? No, that can’t be!
I got a laugh from this spoof video based on the pictured event (Trump’s promotional appearance for Tesla).
Are the shoes made from the crushed bones of children that Elon and Epstein molested together before disposing of? Hmm… very likely. Considering Elon, Epstein and Trump all raped kids together, many times.
Fucking Republican scum. They’re all creeps. Every. One. of. Them.
I find out you’re a Republican, I assume you’ve molested multiple children. Plain and simple.
I would guess that Elon might have high heeled shoes on and even more likely that Dark MAGA hat is higher than the top of his head, plus very, very old people shrink.
Height surgery is a real thing… sounds gruesome but it exists
you guys are legit insane. this dude is all you can think about. no matter what he does hes evil to you. I feel sorry for your children
which dude?
A) Dennis, I think aaaa’s comment could apply to both of them. I will assume it does.
B) aaaa, it would be easier not to think that whatever they do is evil if everything they had done for some time had not been evil. What do you think?
PS – Guess how I can tell how aaaa is neither from Canada or Greenland? And is not a farmer, Palestinian, or Ukrainian? And has no children in public school, and is not on Social Security, Medicaid, or Medicare? And a long list of other things?
I get the need to constantly attack the thing you fear…but come on man.
One of these guys is 78. The other guy is wearing boots and a hat.
This isn’t rocket science.
Oh, I thought one of them was President of the United States, and one was the richest man on Earth. I thought one was planning to expand US territory (by force, if necessary) and plunge world economy into chaos, and one was willing to do anything at all to the American public as long as it made him and a tiny handful of incredibly rich people even richer. But maybe that’s just me.
None of that has anything to do with their height in the picture man.
go outside and take a deep breath until you’re not triggered anymore!
I will be triggered until Trump isn’t President and Elon Musk isn’t disemboweling the governement anymore, thank you very much. Much like the way you were triggered every day the “Biden Crime Family” was in office. Only, you know, based on facts, not stuff somebody made up for me to repeat.
These are megalomaniacs, pathological liars, & insecure-about-their-small-dicks psychopaths trying desperately to be Godlike. How they appear, tall or not, makes no difference. We’re looking at cockroaches personified, much like Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. People don’t care about the size of roaches; they just find them repulsive and want to stomp them out. They may wear boots, lifts, hats, girdles, eyeliner, etc., to further deceive, but they can’t change their insect spirituality.
Damn you can almost see the hatred dripping down the screen.
Was that straight out of Mein Kampf or did you come up with all that on your own?
So this is where your TDS brings you today his height
It’s less about the height, more that they’re vain enough to lie about their height and stupid enough to think they’ll be believed. And could you take “TDS” out behind the barn? It was lame in the first place and got old while it was still BDS. That was 20 years ago ffs.
spoken like a person with TDS and EDS
I mean it’s truly hysterical that you people go to a guy who posts nip slips and leaked nudes for your political views
Read carefully (and if possible, without moving your lips) back through this thread. I don’t think you will find anyone taking any position on any political issue.
Mostly here for the T&A, though watching your ilk beclown yourselves does give me something to laugh at while Rumpy Boy feeds the economy into a woodchipper.
Uh oh. I might have mentioned political issues since you posted this, Nature Mom. Sorry to step on your point. But you were right at the time, and UncleScoopy only posted this as humor, not as a political point. Angelo T taking it as such demonstrates he is a member of the Trump cult, and suffers from Reality Derangement Syndrome.
Not quite as hysterical as people going to a habitually lying, racist, convicted felon for a President though…
There are no political views here. It’s about the height of two prominent celebrities.
But as far as qualifications go, since Trump and I are approximately the same age and went to the same school in 1966, I’d be happy to compare our report cards, IQ tests,or SAT scores. He, of course, would not.
That would be a great reality show. Is the President of the United States smarter than a sleazebag webmaster?
As I said in another comment chain, I am only here for the articles.
I’ve often wondered who would be a big enough idiot to support Trump.
Then I come back to these comments for a reminder of the amazing stupidity that surrounds us every day..
Trump is an idiot but his supporters are worse. I look forward to the day we put them all in a camp where they belong.
Unfortunately, that is what they want to do to us. And right now, they run the Government. Fortunately, Trump is furiously chipping away at his own voter base, with his talk about ending Social Security and Medicaid, his steps to impoverish farmers, and the damage he has done to the economy and the stock market in less than two months. Kissing up to Elon isn’t helping him a bit, either.
Eh, put them in a camp and they’ll just try drive in tent stakes pointy side up. Maybe we could find them jobs cutting each others’ hair? Selling shoes?
I guess you pivot to being a literal used car salesmen when all the obvious lies turn out to be obvious lies. Still waiting for those egg prices to drop, wars to end, and all that wealth to trickle down.
Instead two months in just waiting for the Trump recession/depression to kick in, based on the policies that caused the great depression nearly 100 years ago with his billionaire ketamine cooked sidekick who failed upwards with the technical skill of high school internet troll.
Egg prices dropped to record lows this week lol. Someone get this NPC an update!
The last month of the old administration (December of ’24) the national average was $4.14 a dozen, what record low price are they now?
“Record”? They’re $3 above their long-term average. The one thing truthers never get into their horseshit is truth.
And dropping cool terms like NPC, when they can’t even attempt to explain causality for all these ‘successes’, they just spew mind melted word salad.I’m sure this guy is a winner at life. They’re just brain dead morons waiting for their next talking point from the conservative Pravda media from Big Brother Cheeto, which changes on the hour depending on when the uppers start or run out.
The record is that they are at the lowest point of Trump’s presidency.
They are still double what they were in October, and more than double the price on this same date last year.
Neither Trump nor Biden had anything to do with those fluctuations, unless one of them caused Avian Flu. I have read that there have been no new cases of Avian Flu for a while, which means that supply and demand should come back into balance quickly, and the post-Easter price should theoretically fall back to somewhere near last year’s price plus some typical annual inflation.
It’s still pretty crazy. Just a few years back, for the last pre-pandemic Easter season in 2019, supply outstripped the expected Easter demand, especially in my area, where our local convenience store chain was selling eggs for 39 cents a dozen to sell off their surplus. I think the national average was somewhere around 59 cents. (That was unusual, in that egg prices tend to spike a little around Easter. The Easters before and that showed a jump to the $3 range.)
I guess you can tell that I’m always in charge of Easter Eggs for the family!
The reason why Trump and his followers are such idiots is they can’t explain any causality to anything and there’s no memory of what his promises were because he’s pivoted 1000 times since then to the next crazy thing because of his brain rot riddled followers just go to the next thing.
The fact he made the egg price thing such a part of his campaign that everything would drop in price day one, then comes in and the price immediately rises, then falls still above the previous level just shows how moronic him and his followers are.
Clearly the bird flu is going to dictate prices no matter who is in charge, but he’s the idiot who was claiming prices were going to drop be mere proclamation and all his idiot followers lapped it up and blamed Biden for it all before. Once again showing, it was never about actual logic, just the emotional whims of a cult following the brain rot of its leader.
At least if some of them would admit they don’t know shit and they just agree with whatever Trump says out of spite to harm someone else because they enjoy the misery would be the first time they’ve told the truth about the situation.
Trump does seem to think that he can make anything happen by fiat, but it’s difficult to determine what he really thinks. When he makes his most foolish statements, like the fact he will bring prices down on day one, I can never tell whether he is really that stupid, or is just feeding raw meat to his base with an outrageous lie. Every time I think, “It’s just rhetoric. He can’t really be dumb enough to believe that,” he does something to make me doubt that conclusion.
Case in point: He was President before, so he can’t possibly believe that foreign governments pay his tariffs, rather than the importers and ultimately the consumers. He must know how tariffs work, right? In a way, he’s touched by genius, because whether he believes his claims or not, he has been smart enough to know that vast numbers of his supporters will believe them.
“…at the lowest point of Trump’s presidency.”
Didn’t these drill bits use to NOT like participation trophies?
If you’ve given a minute of thought about it, that’s probably more than Trump’s thought about anything in all his reactionary flip flopping over the years. I don’t think he’s a genius, the stupidity of humanity is just underestimated. He just touches on the superficial transactional reactions of his cult who is unable and unwilling to understand complex systems, and makes a hero out of him and Musk because they provide simple scapegoats for all their perceived problems.
Have a poor standard of living? Well its this deep state thats causing all your problems, rip it out. Saw a crime on the 24 hour news cycle? Well some immigrant is to blame and authoritarianism punishment isn’t strong enough.
You know, as if all these philosophies haven’t been utilized in grand fashion throughout human history. I guess we can point to all the success the lineage of Pharoahs, Emperors, and Kings have had in brutal reactionary measures since all of the above are still around in Egypt, Rome, and Europe. Or we can look at how well deregulation has worked solving all our problems in the world, like with the great depression or recession in 2008. Or the Musk dream giving privatization all the power like the East India Company or company towns near mines. Go check out the standard of living of Foxconn plants in China for a modern taste of the Musk dream.
All great things in society that have been so fruitful for everyone, clearly and definitely not a construct of psychopaths with an insatiable thirst for infinite greed, power, and control. But hey, THIS time it will work thanks to a reactionary brain damaged 80 year old who sits on his ass all day on his phone and can’t control his emotions.
1. Fact-checking is so Yesterday.
2. Whosoever knows not & cares not about facts may be subject to Poincare Recurrences.
Possibly, MyKey But one of our best candidate theories of quantum gravity, string theory, has an axiom called the Holographic Principle, which states that a volume of spacetime can be understood as being encoded on a lower dimensional boundary to the region, of which the degrees of freedom are bounded above by the Bekenstein bound. If we live in a de Sitter universe dominated by the cosmological constant, then there is also a finite cosmic event horizon, which then according to the holographic principle encodes the interior region. In this case since the boundary is finite it has a finite entropy and so a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is enough to describe the interior volume completely. Assuming the universe is ergodic on very long timescales, then the criteria for Poincare recurrence theorem is satisfied.
Of course, I apologize if I am telling you stuff you already know.
@Roger Yes, that was what I meant. I was trying to paraphrase “If you don’t learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it.” In reply to which “History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.” Poincare recurrence doubles down on exact repetition. The catch being the time scale on which it should occur is too huge to wrap our head around.
Details: Your explanation is basically sound. The Holographic Principle is not an axiom of string theory. Supersymmetry is. Our universe is not supersymmetric,. At best that symmetry might be true in some corner but in our corner, it’s broken. It’s unlikely our universe is holographic either. The exact model is Anti-deSitter (AdS) but in effect it’s a toy model that has some uses. One of which is serving to prove general relativity & quantum field theory are not mutually incompatible. Suggesting quantum gravity is not an oxymoron. There are no viable quantum gravity theories as yet that do not assume string theory.
Holography (AdS/CFT) is string theory inspired but assumes neither string theory nor AdS. But holography in dS (deSitter) is still a work in progress & no explicit model in dS is available. Likewise there’s work in quantum gravity that’s pure quantum field theory inspired-by string theory but speculative bc the only known gravity models that they’re worked out for are string theory. None of the results you used are speculative nor do they depend on holography. For example, the cosmic horizon is where recession velocity exceeds c. So at least our effective universe has finite causal volume. Where string theory & holography come in is that we want to claim Bekenstein entropy states are fundamental. If so, then at most finite degrees of freedom & the Hilbert space is finite dimension. For now we can’t make that leap without string theory or some separate proof of holography in dS with finite dimension. The QFT would likely be a CFT again suggesting string models. Applicable experimental evidence is desperately needed to break the impasse but direct results are looking increasingly out of reach. Thank you for breathing life into my half-assed comment.
I say it again, probably not for the last time – you can support any argument if you’re allowed to make up your own facts (and optionally blame anyone who calls you on it for being ‘liberal media’. Or an NPC, I guess).
Here’s an oddity I hadn’t really thought about before. I guess I was never one to belittle others. I like to think it was because others tried to control me by holding me in contempt. In my old age, I’ve found peace in not caring what others think of me. Yes, there are two edges to a sword. I ground criticism of me on its truth. OTOH, I often find praise undeserved bc I know better.
The oddity: Inferior people can find disdain a more effective defense against their superiors than the reverse. “The best defense is a good offense.” In Cohen/Trump speak, Attack, Deny, Boast. Or in Putin’s doctrine, saying so makes it so. If you claim the high ground, it’s as good as yours. So, that’s why “owning the libs” is good clean fun. One side randomly fiddles with the controls to make them spit out triggers, the other side wastes time & effort parrying the thrusts one by one as if they were a serious threat. It’s a game of Gotcha!
” I guess I was never one to belittle others.”” Well MyKey, that’s not my personal memory.
@Bill Granted. That’s a long story that I’ve recounted here but I’ll call it an episode in my disillusion process that was marked by frustration which has passed. Y’see, I was a libertarian. I felt my beliefs had been co-opted. Maliciously repurposed. Slowly, starting around 35 years ago, I began to realize that if such repurposing was even possible, maybe my rosy picture was realizable in many ways of which few were my fantasy world. As I learned what conservatives were growing in my naive little garden of ideas, I wondered how I could’ve been so blind. The more I found out, the more I realized I wasn’t the only fool. Progressives not just the far left but particularly egregious, moderates were duped, increasingly so in stages, like boiling the proverbial frog. As the conservatives openly broke from their principles, I specifically singled out small government as having been a ruse. People like you who continued to believe in the idea were at the heart of my frustration. If I had been slow, you were slower.
But while I hated what you stood for because it meant the people closest to waking up were intractably separated from reality, I only “belittled” you in the sense that I spoke truth to you about your mistakes. It’s not my fault that you would take offense. I didn’t see it as personal. Just that I saw you as unwilling to reconsider. There was no way I could reach you. And that’s the beginning of my despair. I still believe all the talk about how we’re gonna wiggle out of our predicament is just weak sauce. Nothing short of rebellion is likely to stop Project 2025, although now so evil it’s hardly recognizable as such. Nothing like rebellion is going to happen. Every day that goes by sees the rule of law going down the drain. Norms & decency being made obsolete. Anyone who saw this coming was not taken as serious. We failed to catch on when we could’ve done something, decades ago. Now it’s just too late.
You’re right, I did blow up at you. You were me as I was way back when. But you never saw the light. I didn’t like that at all. But it wasn’t personal. You were not alone. You weren’t the most insidious. Not the most evil. But you were in front of me being the me I regretted having been. I’d had enough of that old me. My apologies for being at the end of my rope at that particular moment. Now, with little hope left, I just look on in awe at the flailing. I hope I’m all wrong, but I don’t think so. It’s almost a consolation that the worst of it all is going to happen after I’ve exited stage left.
You do realize you could have written all that in about 2 or 3 sentences, right?
Who knows what lurks in the heart? If I’m unmoved, I’m not here at all. If I’m moved, well, then you’ll see what I’m moved to say. Brevity has its uses. What I had to say is of no use.
Every, single, one, of our readers here, knows full well how to skip a post by their chosen non-sock-puppet identified names. I’m no better than you in that regard.
Fair enough
