Let's just declare him God Emperor of Dune and move on.

Spiking the football like this is bad form, even for Republicans. Now they've made themselves look like fully owned indentured servants to Musk.

We need a vote of no confidence in this country. Like 250 years ago.

Do not fall for the prime minister trap. This is how the Repubs are rebranding the co-president/President Musk thing to make it ok. He's President Musk. The end.

That is their intent but it still inadvertently throws shade at Trump as it implicitly concedes Musk is the one running the government while Trump handles ceremonial tasks. I agree with you, though. The message should be clear: President Musk, Vice President Trump while Vance is trivialized.

So that would make DJT our king?
That might be a political move for the congressional republicans. It’s a good way to circumvent the idea that Musk is usurping the power of the presidency.

As if we needed any more signs that Republicans have no respect for the Constitution… These guys are going to try to drive us to dictatorship.

Prime weirdo.

This situation with Musk and the GOP is going from weird to really bad and Trump is a month away from being in office. We’re in trouble, and we need to resist the lying, gaslighting, power grabbing and money grabbing.

Don’t stop them, they’re on a roll. Trump’s bizarre threats to attack allies, Musks’s weirder efforts at propping up fascist movements in NATO countries spells “Republicans running for cover”

Full steam ahead!

Musk is a prime asshole.

"The congressman added that he spoke with Musk 'a couple of times' last week"

He is a second term Congressman. If Musk is this involved with him imagine his contact with senior members. Where is Trump in all this? It's pretty clear Musk, supposedly CEO of 6 companies, is running the show.

Prime ministers are elected by parliaments in the countries that have one. Musk has never even run in an election, much less won one. Musk has no legitimate claim to governmental power. To the extent that he has any, it's due to the money he poured into the Trump campaign.
