The issue is that there are rules for fighting the rules that are as, if not more, important than the first-level rules, if we are to protect democracy.

Right, but he’ll let them know when there is a conflict of interest. The republican guard which is scared of Chumpster better stand up otherwise this country has serious problem.

His first month on the job, inflation is up for the first time in 3.5 years. Glad CNBC lobbied for him for 3 years.

Big difference between rules and laws. Don't like the existing laws? We've got a process for that.

How better to change the rules than to buy the entire Republican Party, then get a huge return on your investment

Bought and paid for.

lol the vapidity here. even if the rules are in place for good reason, they are invalid if they get in the way of me doing whatever I want . that is musk in a nutshell.

Illegitimate and Shamelessly corrupt, stinking of criminality

Not sure why reporters are still being so deferential to the naked self-serving usurper. He has no power under the constitution.

If you can't scam people, scam people.

Our 💩🤡 president got elected to cover up his past crimes against our Nation with millions in financial support from Elon Musk who was focused on preventing accountability for their future crime wave! 😳
