@#2 ... Donald Trump Responds to 'President Musk' Talk Growing ...

That Pres-elect Trump had to issue a response on the matter shows his weakness.

It is almost a tacit admission that the "President Musk" talk is correct.

It's going to be a hilarious four years. More of a sitcom than a reality show this time.

Biden completely hands the executive branch over to "unelected" aides for a full term, and nothing from Gaslighter, CorkyTheBigot or DialAgain.

Elon Musk shares a few opinions on X, and Gaslighter Gang is claiming he's usurped the Presidency-elect.

Yeah this going to be fun to watch.

lmao... 1nut the Victim.

- Musk shares a few opinions on X

"Musk helped kill a congressional spending bill. But much of what he spread was misinformation

Musk's objections to the 1,547-page omnibus bill included misinformation about congressional salaries, federal funding and public health preparedness, among other topics."

apnews.com

It's not a lie when a billionaire does it, it's a, "shares a few opinions".

1nut swallows Musk's documented lies whole.

1Lump of Trump has been a consistent source of lies, misinformation and really weak trolling.

Donald is alredy ---- up. A lot. He's leaning on Musk for a reason. Too bad that Musk is already ---- up.

Next stop, the American occupation of Panama and guerilla war.
