The power behind the throne
They used to say about Cardinal Richelieu that he was the best king France never had. See, he was the real power behind the throne of a weak and incompetent king, Louis XIII
Alternatively, perhaps someday, people will say that Elon Musk, Trump's wrangler, was the worst President (dictator?) that America never had.
Musk lobbied against a bipartisan bill to keep the government funded, and all he got out of that was dooming medical research for pediatric cancer patients.
I guess the billionaire with twelve children doesn't give a poop about other people's kids.

I'm wondering how long it's going to take. For Trump to get sick of sharing the limelight with Musk, that is. We all know that Trump is a consummate egotist and narcissist. Yes, Musk gave a bunch of money to his campaign. But now he's elected. And Musk isn't. Trump has never reimbursed anybody for anything, that I know of. If we're lucky, the breakup will occur before inauguration.
Another thing, Musk is acting like he's the v.p. Sooner or later JD Vance is going to get tired of that.
I think Trump must already secretly hate Musk. But can he bear to alienate the richest man in the world? Which will win out - Trump's avarice or his pride?
I see that Musk is stirring up trouble in Germany, and quarreling with the British prime minister on his media platform. Germany faces an election in early 2025 because their governing coalition fell apart. Musk is advocating for the ascendant neo-Nazi party. He just can't keep his nose out of other people's business.
He has dual citizenship in South Africa (from his dad), and Canada (on his mom's side). Funny thing, he's not messing around in either of those countries, where he could run for office and actually be involved in government.
Yes, but he doesn't want to rule via votes, he wants to rule the world via money/power. I think he's actually a deranged person, like RFK jr, who gets away with being a crazy piece of poop because of his money and fame. If he was a poor person and a nobody, he would probably be in jail or the nut house.
