One of the great questions starting Jan 21 is how will Elon and Donald communicate? Trump is all phone. Nothing in writing. Elon isn't going to take 10+ calls a day. I wouldn't be surprised if more than half their communications are via posts on Truth Social and X Literally.

We MUST keep vaccines. have you written your Senator to let them know?
