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 loved how the Far Right tried to spin it

          They claimed it was a long lost Biblical term meaning “in the end, we win!”, and it was just a dogwhistle that the “Foolish Satanic Liberals would mistake for a typo”, but the “REAL Christians who read their bibles know what it means”

          Even if that were the case (it isn’t), “Despite the constant negative press; Covfefe.” Is how you’d word that
