Summary
Donald Trump dismissed concerns over Elon Musk’s growing influence in Republican politics, telling supporters Musk cannot be president due to being foreign-born.
Musk recently played a key role in derailing a government funding bill, with critics dubbing him “President Musk.”
His $250M support for Trump’s campaign and appointment to co-lead a new efficiency office have raised conflict-of-interest concerns, particularly over Tesla’s ties to China.
Tensions could emerge over Ukraine, where Musk’s Starlink supports the war effort Trump vows to end.
Broken clock and all that.
Though I don’t think Trump will official act him. He’s far too rich. Trump knows where his bread is buttered and isn’t going to risk Musk’s ire.
Trump needs Musk far more than Musk needs him
Yeah, as soon as Trump tries something like that, he’s no longer a useful idiot, and all the actual old money, that he’s so desperate to suck up to, will destroy him
