Summary

Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.

Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.

Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.

His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.

      ^ this is one of the main reasons I fucking loathe Elon so much.

      Because of assholes like Elon, the epithet “tech bro” is now being applied to anyone and everyone in IT, most especially if they are white males, and that’s fucking bullshit.

      Nerds know he’s a charlatan. We’re nerds.

      We’d know!

      Elon is friends only to idiots who don’t know he’s a snake oil salesman. Roganites.
