President Musk
Elon Musk is Running the Country
President Elon Musk is in control of the Oval Office. Trump has to take orders from him. Musk poured millions into Trump’s campaign. Musk owns the White House. Trump must answer to him.
Of course, Musk can’t legally be president. First, he wasn’t born in the United States. He is a native of South Africa. Secondly, the election was between Trump and Harris. Musk wasn’t on the ticket.
But this hasn’t stopped Musk from insinuating himself in American politics. As the clock was ticking towards a government shutdown, Musk told Republicans to abandon the bipartisan deal made with Democrats. The Republicans did as they were told, causing chaos in the capitol.
Developing a new deal took a lot of negotiations and public outcry. President Biden signed the contract on Saturday, December 21st. The agreement funds the government until mid-March 2025. Before then, the House and the Senate must negotiate to fund the country before the March deadline.
Trump has responded to the “President Musk” label. He stated on social media that “Musk needs to stay in his lane.” I don’t think that’s the response Trump should have towards the wealthiest man on the planet. Trump can’t risk getting on Musk’s bad side. Musk has access, which means that Trump wishes he had.
We may be seeing the beginning of the end of their relationship. Musk wants to dictate how the country should be run. Trump has “his vision” for the country. Meanwhile, we must grab some popcorn and place our bets.
2025 is acting up already!
