The best way to get Musk out of there is to keep referring to him as the real president, saying that he's calling the shots, and that he's manipulating Trump. Trump's ego will not be able to handle that and will get rid of him.
I sometimes listen to the "The rest is politics US" podcast, where one of the hosts is Anthony Scaramucci, and he frequently makes the same point: if Trump starts referring to you as "Mr. President" or "more famous than him", you're finished. Not sure if this applies to someone like Musk, but Trump's ego is a fickle thing.
Doubt that very much...trump won't get rid of his wallet like that
I agree that Elon's money is probably the only reason he's lasted this long, but I think there will be a limit. Even if he's willing to keep paying forever, I think Rump's ego will be the deciding factor in spite of the money.
trump will hate it and this just hammers the wedge between Musk and trump.
Yup, someone who has Trump’s ear just needs to tell him that Musk is stealing his thunder and that will make him turn around.
I think you guys overestimate how much Trump gives a shit at this point. I think he's mostly checked out. He ran for president to keep out of prison and now he'll be a rubber stamp.
It's not like he's stayed in the public eye with lots of rallies and press conferences and such after he won.
I think you vastly underestimate the ego of a narcissist.
Like I said, he doesn’t seem all that eager to be in the public eye now. He’s not giving constant interviews or anything. I think he doesn’t have the stamina anymore.
He has no reason to be right now. He's tired, but when what he views as his reputation (every narcissist has a weird internal way they calculate it) gets challenged, he will be out and about as lively as ever... he's just too old to take adderall every day now.
Defeatist attitude is a self fulfilling prophecy, as long as they don't totally silence the media, then he will be able to be manipulated by his own narcissistic ego... he does watch news more than he works, afterall.
The dementia is worsening, mayhaps
Dang, guess it is pretty easy to manipulate someone with a big, fat ego. Good plan!
Bernie is laying down resistance tactics
Since the 1960s!
I'm sorry, "misleadingly claimed..."? That's just straight up fucking lying
That's how you can tell who's paying for the article
We are in a shit pickle. Musky could sue any news outlets he wants if there is even a grain of certainly in outlets words. And you know how that will go for them. So they gotta keep the terms fuzzy.
It sucks.
People in politics are so "civil" they normalize hatred, lies, and fascist ideas. Normalizing hatred and fascism only further fascist ideology, which slowly, piece by piece, takes over the right.
We(humanity) don't deserve Bernie.
Oohh. I like this. I think this is more of an onion in the ointment for Trump than calling him weird. president Musk and VP Trump needs to be part of the vernacular.
First Lady Trump*
Sorry Vance already has that post
I thought Vance was the family pet? He's not allowed on the couch or bed... for obvious reasons.
Hell yeah. Burn'em Sanders!
