You want to get rid of Musk, stuff like this is how you do it.
Publicly make Trump out to be the lessor power in the relationship and his ego won't be able to handle it. Look how fast he lost his shit during that debate with Harris when the subject of his crowd size came up.
I really think people who say this aren't reading the room. It's not the same old Trump. This is an old broken down mentally deficient Trump. This isn't a case of an alliance between equals. This is a case of a grifter taking advantage of a guy too old to make decisions for himself. This is like a guy stealing the Social Security checks , altering the will , and selling assets for his own gain. I mean by all means keep saying it, cuz who knows and it is true, I just don't think it'll work. If anything it might be embolding Musk and legitimizing him.
No one knows what the deal is with that relationship. Maybe this is all part of their plan, maybe Elon has dirt on Trump, maybe he's brainwashed and neuralink is more advanced than is publicly known. Maybe they're both being blackmailed, and Joe Biden is the one really pulling the strings, and he's trying to destroy the country as revenge for Harris?
There are a lot of equally likely possibilities here, so we shouldn't try to jump to conclusions.
LOL!
That's what I've thought until now, but after that display I don't think he'll do anything to Musk, who it seems really does have some power over him--the money of course, but maybe something else too--maybe some dirt, maybe something in conjunction with Putin. But to let that little brat say those things[*] to him and his only reaction was to be submissive and look away tells me Musk really is the one in control here. This is actually scary.
[*] "You're not the president, you need to go away" and "I want you to shut your fucking mouth up"

He rigged the election for him... Even if it didn't cause the win, if he has irrefutable proof he rigged the election then he can bring Trump down with him. He could boost it into everyone's Twitter feeds that he didn't actually win and they would be forced to do something about it.
That's a good one, though I'm not sure even that would turn his followers against him or get the republican party to willingly give up the power they've gained. Though, maybe it would get the military to defy their fox news boss and oust him.
Wait, what is this * part of your comment? I guess I missed some piece of these insane news cycles.
I've seen several clips from the press conference of "Little X" saying those things to trump, in an audible whisper. You should be able to find them with a search, or if not I can try to find them in my history. Trump sits hunched, looks briefly at the kid then looks away in a defeated manner (like a dog!) while musk rambles on. Anyone else, trump would have said to get the kid out of there, it's bizarre.
