Summary
During a meeting with House Republicans, President-elect Donald Trump publicly mocked Elon Musk, saying, “Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him,” as Musk has spent extensive time with Trump recently.
The comments were seen as an assertion of Trump’s dominance, with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell noting the uncomfortable laughter from the room.
Musk has been tapped to co-lead the new “Department of Government Efficiency” (nicknamed “DOGE”), a role critics describe as superficial.
Observers predict Trump and Musk’s alliance may sour due to their clashing egos.
Yeah can we not do this again? We don’t need a news article any time Trump blinks. Like, there’s plenty of bad and crazy shit he’s doing as-is, no need to mountain all the molehills.
This is part of the reason the “90% of stuff you hear about Trump is bullshit” narrative currently being pushed by right-wing social media is working so well.
