Summary
Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.
Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.
Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.
His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.
Don’t worry everyone, i’ve worked for rich guys and I can assure you that two rich people are absolutely incapable of working together for more than a few months.
Trump and Musk are going to turn on one another, it’s only a matter of time
Trump getting Musk deported would be insanely funny
hopefully they just bitch slap each other for four years and nothing of consequence actually gets implemented.
Nah, if Musk pisses off Trump he loses hard and fast. Trump could easily get away with making it an official act to strip Musk of all his wealth and instead of turning it over to the state, turn it over to the GOP. Use the guise that it is not communist because they are turning it over to a private company, not the government and it was all done for security reasons after Musk commited treason in dealings with Putin.
The GOP controls the house and Senate, so they wouldn’t vote for impeachment, it checks the boxes for being pro capitalism, and anti Russia. And they make buckets off of him. The penalty they set for his Treason, execution. To show they are hard on crime and believe in the death penalty.
Doubt they would even need to fabricate any evidence, it is already there.
No expropriation necessary. All hes got to do is knock out Tesla’s subsidies and SpaceX’s government contracts…maybe have the DOT and FAA take a reeaaal close look at their safety records just to put the final nail in their coffins. Trump is petty though, my bingo card say he also threatens to strip him of his citizenship and have him deported before this is all over.
IMHO this is just hopium.
There’s no indication that they will not work together since they need each other for their own separate selfish reasons.
They will use each other as long as goals have not been met.
When those goals are met then they will have a falling out. And at that point it’s too late for the rest of us.
Also both clearly report to Putin, so likely he told them to work together. And each of them is getting something out of it (for Musk, I assume nobody will look more deeply into his companies anymore, which are known to break all manner of regulations).
Rich people have absolutely worked together in the past. Your theory only works until suddenly it doesn’t and we have a big ass threat to deal with.
We already have a “big ass threat” it’s the Christo-fascists on the supreme court, the wingnut lower court judges, and all the dark money being funneled to groups like Mom’s for Liberty who’re burning books.
Musk and Trump are just symptoms of this “big ass threat” and the DNC have been slow rolling their response because they’re fat on the same dark money.
We’re in an autocracy. And there’s a lot of work to get out of it.
