Summary
Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.
Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.
Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.
His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.
I dunno. I am sure musk thinks all of his ideas are amazing, just like trump. I am not sure it is about getting more money, just about enabling him to make his “amazing” ideas happen. The money enables that, but I think he has reached the point where money isn’t whats blocking him. And power… trump wants it because it makes him feel important. Musk I think wants power to simply be able to do whatever he wants to make his ideas happen. Of course his mental state has been shifting. He could have developed a taste for more wealth and power or something. But I am still betting not.
Either way. It’s definitely not about free speech and immigration.
No doubt there.
