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.

      I’m saying "yes and… " here. The point of my argument is that merely being rich, regardless of political affiliation, is contributing to the autocracy. Even when they’re at odds. They’re still paying into a system that benefits them.

        My point is they may have interpersonal issues but they all very much understand why they donate to the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society.

          Yes, and their tax break from those donations defund federal aid that could be used for the general good.
