Seriously. Musk has an overinflated ego and no qualifications whatsoever to have a say on public policy matters. The sooner he pisses off Trump the better.


I’m not so sure Trump can put the genie back in his bottle. At this point Leon has more power than him - he’s got more followers and a bigger platform. Trump has given away his power to Leon and Leon’s not going to hand it back easily - if at all


Well, maybe Trump will piss of Elon? Give me some hope, people.


It's the other way around. Trump likes people until he doesn't and then they are dead to him. When he gets tired of Musk, that will be the end of all of this.



Everyone refer to them as President Elon and VP Trump, and it might happen faster.
lol

They know how to win elections.


Yes by lying. That poses a serious problem for anyone who cares about integrity and truth. A liar can tell a voter anything they want to hear.


DP. No, I don't think most voters believed the lies. They understood what was honest and what was falsehood. They just chose these falsehoods over those falsehoods.

Elon would be a great Speaker.


What in his background and experience makes you think that he would be good at getting hundreds of men with competing egos and interests on the same page?



$$$$$. Congressional Republicans can and have been bought.


Do you mean direct bribery? I mean, yes, it has happened before.

But wheeling and dealing with federal projects is more common and Elon has no knowledge of or experience with the ins and outs of this.

Why in the world would be want to be speaker? Much more fun just diving in at the last minute to blow everything up, and not having to be responsible for any day-to-day matters.

It also can’t happen if the new Congress can’t agree on a Speaker and they already want to dump Johnson.

Huge regret for having one now. 😭

A bit ironic for government workers who own Teslas, I have to say.
