He has assumed a stealth persona where he can no longer be seen on the radar screen but he is in the background running his DOGE TEAM. Musk will continue to communicate and provide advise to djt. But in these dealings too he will be careful to remain in the background and off the radar screen so he can limit his public exposure. eLoon needs to keep his finger on the pulse of the government so he can rapidly hop into action should an opportunity arise where one of his companies can place a bid to win a billion dollar government contract. Or shutdown any oversite/litigation aimed at one of his companies.

every time he fumbles the simplest question about whatever the topic of the day is. But they aren't, and they won't.

Goebbels Miller and Muck have (I am told) been getting into public and private X post fights last few weeks. There might be a subtext to that.

But I did hear that she was just as bad as Stephen - if not worse so I thought that was a marriage welded together by their little black hearts.

With the orange one being clearly mentally deficient, who is in control? Does anyone think this makes the US vulnerable? With the MAGA administration so chaotic with idiots in positions of power it would seem that we are actually at risk.

Usually not a team filled with kooks and crackpots.

And one hopes that the front person possesses some of the better human impulses.
