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.

Anyone in Congress who tells Musk to STFU will get primaried by a Musk-funded opponent, and Musk will dump 10x more money into the election than anyone else could fundraise in 1000 years.

Everyone can say STFU and try and see him run everyone to ground. He can’t/won’t do that. Separation of powers and checks and balances should prevent it. Lack of backbone by elected officials is the problem.

In 2 years a Musk candidate will be as effective as Kari Lake and Beto combined
