Summary

Elon Musk, having endorsed and campaigned for Donald Trump, is now acting as a “shadow president,” advising on policies and personnel, and joining Trump on calls with world leaders.

This unprecedented relationship between the world’s richest man and the leader of the free world raises concerns about the influence of wealth on government.

While both Trump and Musk have incentives to continue their partnership, their volatile personalities and differing expertise may lead to a breakup in the future.

    The constant talk of Musk’s power in the new administration must irritate the fuck out of Trump. How terrible.

      Wait wait wait… You might be on to something.

      If we can just get the media to jerk off Musk and make Trump feel small and inconsequential…
