Asha Rangappa: I think Musk is the kryptonite. No one likes him. I don't think even Trump, or a good portion of

Trumpers, like him. Focus all the negative messaging on him, channel the negative coverage on him.

As an added bonus he is super insecure and fragile and he will lose his mind

But despite their ignorance they're oddly smart enough to see him as a means to an end... Just like they see Elmer.

Forgive me, but I've seen countless "The Trumpers are THIS close to destroying each other!!" -stories in the media the last few years and they never, ever pan out. 😔

Pointing to Musk and throwing all the criticism at him gives cover to Trump AND the Republicans. Musk can do their dirty work and they won’t face the vitriol as much.

Trump is president, he’s in charge. All of this is his fault as well as the Republican Party who holds the majority in Congress giving them the ability to stop this lawlessness but who choose not to.

We need to remind folks whose fault this really is Trump and even more so the Republicans in Congress. Dems will be running against Republicans in elections, we need to attach the blame of this to them.
