Summary
Elon Musk has amassed significant power in Trump’s White House, leading DOGE and embedding his tech team into federal systems.
Musk is using his X account like a personal White House pressroom podium to dominate the news cycle, pushing conspiracies and undermining Trump’s announcements.
Ironically, Trump now struggles to control Musk, who is doing to Trump what Trump did to the GOP—pushing limits and amassing a devoted fan base. Trump knows that Musk is willing to out-crazy him.
While Trump tolerates him for now, tensions may rise as Musk’s influence grows.
Elon is not popular and he weaseled his way into MAGA, Trump could easily depose him. Musk might kick and scream and throw a fit but he won’t have anywhere to run to. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to run back to the liberals afterwards.
If there ia a falling out I imagine Elon turning the Twitter machinery pro Democrat and funding democratic candidates. The fight would get ugly…kinda would like to see it. But this shotgun marriage is already lasting longer than I expected, it may go on for linger than we all expect.
At this point i don’t think so.
Muskler directly controls government HR and the treasury.
Trump likely couldn’t stop him now if he wanted to
My source of why I’m confident he can’t control Musk:
Trump says Musk is under his authority, and everything Trump says is a lie.
Lol probably true
I’m saying theoretically he could, not thay he would. Trump is a coward and would never pick a fair fight. And even if he gor rid of Musk he would no fucking understanding of the damage Musk did le aline how to undo it.
