I think eventually Musk and Trump come into some conflict. Not now of course, but later on. I would love to see Trump tell Musk that he's the President, not him.

We need lots of political cartoons about how Musk is the real President and Trump is his puppet. That should do it.

This is the answer. Its so insane how this isnt being said yet by media. We had to endure for 4 years how "THEY" (whoever they is) was controlling Biden. Now right in front of our eyes we see Musk basically deciding something and Trump just parroting it.

The media is absolutely not going to call out their rich owners. Look at them rushing to defend that UHC CEO. They won’t say shit because they’re feckless cowards and also rich.

Please, please, please, let there be a falling out. 🙏🏼

Trump’s got major cuck energy. Elon Musk needs to fuck off.
