I've never seen Trump sit so silently and let someone else take the stage and take all the attention. I wonder how long this lasts.

Asked to respond to people who say he's orchestrating a hostile takeover of government, Elon Musk lies that "a majority of the public voted for President Trump"

the presidency
Unelected White South African shows up in the Oval wearing a t-shirt, overcoat, and ball cap. Crickets.
Can you imagine the sophistication, manpower, and probably luck it would take to pull something like this off? And then have every involved person stay perfectly silent afterwards?
🛑 A spectacle to mislead our minds.
🫵 These people, even when they are at the top of power, do not act randomly.
😡Let us be careful...
"Don't go! I'll buy you a pony!"
Now he's just bullying reporters, and letting Musk bully him.
It'd be sad if it wasn't so deserved.
fElon: Hold my Ketamine
Musk is trying to do to Federal Government what he did at Twitter.
Musk was pivotal in getting Trump elected with money and Twitter manipulation of MAGA.
Eventually this relationship with deteriorate.
Twitter will merge with Truth Social eventually making Trump more $$$.
It may be that simple.
Tough call.
Musk is standing over a slumped Trump at the Resolute Desk, lying about all the “fraud, waste and abuse” they have found via DOGE.
But DOJ lawyers can’t produce evidence for federal judges they crucify.
Trump weak, Rasputin in control.
The floor
The felon President would NEVER let Mush steal the limelight if he weren't demented.

I mean, a nazi in the oval wearing a baseball hat and a bad blazer over a tshirt surely merits at least as much outrage.
Trump can cancel SpaceX contracts, he can punish Tesla, he can tell the IRS to audit Elon, etc etc
Does Trump know this?
30.8% voted Harris
36.3% didn't vote for either!
… so no, not half the country.
More people didn't vote for him than did 👍
Like his body double.
He is the new Roy Cohn. His “fixer,” does all the heavy lifting, tells him what to do, gets stuff done that he isn’t smart enough to do himself. Musk will bail once he gets what he paid for.
He empowers Trump, he doesn’t threaten him.
What a loser, Trump is .
I’m kinda left thinking we could all be genius’ given access to untold wealth.
But I don’t think most people really understand doing a way with government.
Here we go …
I think Putin shared some leverage with Musk to keep him in line, besides that giant money dump into his campaign.
So Trump might have no choice, he is now BitchBoy times 2.
Dejavu all over again...

The evidence is *abundant* that Musk owns Trump.
Trump isn't "tolerating" Musk and Trump won't "tire" of Musk.
Musk. Bought. The. Presidency.
Trump has the same relationship to Musk as he does to Putin.
I’ll give it a watch but I need a mental break after BTB because WTF
What a complete tool
