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.
President musk isn’t going to be happy hearing how his secretary Trump is trying to take power from him
I don’t think Trump understands the joke. No one is saying Musk is literally president, the point is he is so influential over Trump that he is calling the shots behind the scenes. Whether or not Musk is eligible to be president is irrelevant.
I don’t think Trump understands
You coulda stopped there. The only things Trump understands being sucked up to and sexual assault.
Foreign-born? You mean immigrant!
Actually, he is an illegal immigrant.
The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

Downplay like Project 2025? Both are taking orders and advice from Moscow.
If I were one of the writers for this upcoming season, I would give Trump a redemption arc. Musk’s millions of dollars of influence would render Putin’s influence unnecessary, and Trump comes out and pushes a hard line on Russia over Ukraine. Trump also sees the popular opinion against the health care system, pardons Luigi, and appoints him Secretary of Health once RFK Jr’s brain worm shoots out of his skull live on TV during his Senate hearing. And he finally has his Infrastructure Week, all these years later.
Are you breaking kayfabe?
So what are the chances that the MAGA Cult becomes a Musk Cult?
I mean I’m all for making Trump feel small, but… What are the risks here?
Who needs to be president? Dance for me, orange man.
Did he ask elon if that was okay for him to do though? Dipshit donny is gonna get CHEWED OUT for talking out of turn about the boss…
I was hoping this was a new report, damn. It would be great if he was denying it multiple days a row.
So if Trump decides he’s had enough and executes Musk as an official act, that’s the best thing he’s ever done right? Even if it’s for petty reasons and sets insanely bad precedents for presidential power it’s still a net good to rid Elon from the world of influence
Lying liars who lie.
Seems like a desperate attempt to create a narrative that justifies seething petulance. It’s funny, and mostly why liberals got btfo in the polls.
