(31,044 posts)there was another one on BlueSky. All caps so it took a minute to realize it was a parody.
i think it is true that he has people calling the press in a panic saying stop saying that!
Random Boomer
(4,376 posts)So it's either parody or some PR guy drafted it and punched it in to Trump's phone.
Bluetus
(2,079 posts)And I doubt that he had a staffer write that on his behalf.
But it doesn't really matter, because the fact is that Trump is busy lining up tribute payments via his inauguration ball fund while Musk is doing the Capitol Hill thing that Presidents usually do. Everybody can see that Musk is performing as if President, so that's gonna stick until Trump does something Presidential.

(1,996 posts)because if 45 wrote it, it would be gobbledegook. I wonder if his tweets will become more coherent and not in caps, which is a dead giveaway he had nothing to do with it.
The thing I like the best is the more we call musky president the more 45 screams.

(128,645 posts)basically correct grammar. I think it's by someone other than Trump, designed to piss off Musk and stir the pot some more.

He wouldn't write this because he wouldn't give the "insult" any oxygen. He knows it would make him look weak. He may be dumb as a rock on the substantive things, but he has a sly political instinct. Like all con artists, he knows the game and how to play it. Sadly for us.

Not written at 3am, as his medications are wearing off. No endless, run-on sentences, no second grade vocabulary, no ALL CAPS, ridiculous 'smocking gun' spelling errors, and no neurotic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! explanation points.
Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

President-elect Donald Trump used a speech to MAGA supporters to strongly push back on claims that billionaire Elon Musk had effectively taken over his presidency. While speaking to Turning Point USA's AmFest conference attendees on Sunday, Trump argued that "big companies" wanted him to cut regulations more than slashing taxes.
"But no, he's not going to be president that I can tell you," Trump also insisted. "And I'm safe. You know why? He can't be. He wasnt born in this country."
This comment went viral, with Scott Dworkin, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Democratic Coalition, saying, "This confirms that Musk is the President-Elect."
Popular satire account Mrs. Betty Bowers replied with, "This is great for two reasons: (1) it shows that all this President Musk talk is getting under Donalds notoriously thin skin; and (2) it has to be very insulting to JD Vance."
