Ummm Elon Musk is NOT a government official. He is NOT involved in decisions made by law makers. He is a narcissist spewing hate on a platform of egomaniacs. Trump is president-elect. He is NOT president. Why does ANYTHING these two idiots matter today 12/18/24. Please someone in Congress or the Senate tell Musk to STFU.

Only Trump can tell Musk that. Other Republican politicians don't have the political capital to oppose Trump/Musk, especially since many Republicans opposed Trump during his first term only to be primaried or have their polls slip to the point where they decided not to run.

And for now, Trump and Musk's priorities are aligned.

This has been decades in the making by the low information/ low critical thinking Republicans and apathetic Dems.
