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 ran across something from a recent Some More News segment that said “weird” was working but it recently came out that some advisor in the Harris campaign (named Geoff Garin) said to stop doing it and pivot to trying to pick up the “moderate gop” vote (whatever tf that means). I guess he was responding to people criticizing him on blue sky by saying basically “you don’t know shit”.

      It’s a bold strategy to go from something that’s working to something that has never worked ever.

      Well the “moderate GOP” seems to be the target demographic for the DNC, so this statement completely tracks.
