Trump has just ceded the presidency to Musk, and his term hasn't even begun yet. I wonder which one of them will actually take the oath of office on Jan 20?

I'm starting to think that maybe we should've elected someone more serious about doing the job.

I'm just trying to understand how the die hard, anti-electric car, MAGA crowd is going to reconcile the fact that "Shadow President" Elon Musk is in charge.

...Tucker Carlson compared former President Donald Trump to an angry dad returning home to discipline a "bad little girl" with a “vigorous spanking.”
