Do you think this is true?

That tRump's aides called reporters to angrily tell them that tRump is the pRes, and not Musk? That Musk, interfering with the recent vote, was only doing what Trump commanded?

I think that would be a hell of an admission. tRump is too lazy to do it himself, so he orders an outsider to interfere. And Johnson, wimp that he is, is engaged with President Musk over the matter.

These people are overall incompetent. They're nutzoid!

He thought it was a loser so he had Musk do it, now the loss is on Musk and he gets to look powerful as he reigns in his henchmen.

Then if things go sideways, he is clean.

But he paid a price this time because he is being humiliated and called Elon's VP.

5. Appreciate your thoughts, but TSF is not the stuff of strategy. Musk is overstaying

his welcome. When he ceases to be useful, TSF will chuck him. It will take some time, however, because TSF is electrified by Musk's wealth...is temporarily in a state of shock.

6. Musk feels he has bought his way into the WH. Trumpworld is a bit concerned about the optics.
