Summary

Donald Trump dismissed concerns over Elon Musk’s growing influence in Republican politics, telling supporters Musk cannot be president due to being foreign-born.

Musk recently played a key role in derailing a government funding bill, with critics dubbing him “President Musk.”

His $250M support for Trump’s campaign and appointment to co-lead a new efficiency office have raised conflict-of-interest concerns, particularly over Tesla’s ties to China.

Tensions could emerge over Ukraine, where Musk’s Starlink supports the war effort Trump vows to end.

    That’s why it’s working. It’s such obvious provocation, but he’s so insecure he can’t resist it anyway

      Yeah I’ve been taking every opportunity to call him President Musk because I know that once this hits critical mass, it’s going to destroy the partnership between these two walking egos. Keep repeating it every chance you get.
