I understand your concerns. Remember, #ETTD, Everything Trump touches dies. And that includes relationships with Musk and every billionaire he’s bringing into his administration. In his last admin people walked away after realizing he’s a dunce. It will happen with these sycophants too.

2/6 While the specifics of the deal between Trump and Musk remain unclear, Musk has successfully positioned himself and his associates in positions of power. He is always with Trump, and foreign leaders reach out to him. He represents the US without having an official position.

3/6 Musk significantly contributed to Trump's election, and his associates, including the well-known Putinist David Sacks, now have direct access to the White House.

4/6 If Elon Musk wishes to hold power, he should do so officially, with a designated role, transparency, and consideration of conflicts of interest. Currently, he retains control over his companies and makes decisions as an unelected civilian, which is fundamentally wrong.

5/6 Americans should demand transparency to prevent significant conflicts of interest and avoid becoming like 1990s russia, where oligarchs made decisions without any transparency or accountability. Musk needs to choose but he can't have it both ways!
