Summary

Elon Musk has emerged as a key enforcer of Donald Trump’s agenda, warning Republicans against opposing Trump’s policies and Cabinet picks.

Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, spending heavily in swing states and funding groups like RBG PAC to broaden voter appeal.

Musk has hinted at funding primary challenges against GOP lawmakers who resist Trump, creating a “naughty and nice list” with ally Vivek Ramaswamy.

With allies in Trump’s administration and influence through his platform X, Musk’s political clout is growing rapidly.

          JD… JD… doesn’t ring a bell, sorry. I think Trump had an alleged couch-lover as a running mate, though. Vince, I believe his name was.

        His ego wouldn’t be able to handle it, and he’d turn on Musk in a plaque-filled heartbeat. Even if it doesn’t solve anything, I would be delighted to know that Elon’s investment went to waste.

        Wait I thought Musk was the VP and Putin was the president? Trump’s just some dude who gets to live in the white house and tweet on his fake Twitter.
