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.

            I loved how the Far Right tried to spin it

            They claimed it was a long lost Biblical term meaning “in the end, we win!”, and it was just a dogwhistle that the “Foolish Satanic Liberals would mistake for a typo”, but the “REAL Christians who read their bibles know what it means”

            Even if that were the case (it isn’t), “Despite the constant negative press; Covfefe.” Is how you’d word that

              He probably dropped his phone while they were changing his diaper and posted it as the phone was slipping out of his hands on the changing table.
