The Co-President

Elon Musk Is Already Getting Republicans to Do His Bidding GOP lawmakers scrapped a bipartisan spending plan that would have averted a government shutdown, after the DOGE cochair instructed them over X to “kill the bill.” (Vanity Fair)

 

Many are describing Musk as the President, but for now, I will just suggest that he is Co-Presidenting.  No need for a Vice President when you have a co-president, especially a guy who can buy and sell your next political career. Trump may have the MAGA Cultists, but Musk has the billions, so if Musk decides to write that bribe for someone else, you are sunk, dead, and done in your career.         

 

Somehow, somewhere along the line of today’s Gilded Age, Musk edged his way forward by purchasing a few politicians, such as Trump and the majority of the Fascist Party known as Republicans. And as any great, no greatest narcissist goes, Musk understands that his sheep need to be fed, and thus, he has made sure to blackmail his sheep by letting them know that it is MUSKS WAY or THE HIGHWAY.

 

Now, if anyone with a conscience is paying attention, they know VERY WELL that the fascist Republicans lack balls, backbones, and spines. Imagine that the wealthiest man in the world is now dictating his own self-interest wishes, ones which will hurt the peons and peasants, and YET the Republican Fascists could give zero shits if it gets in the way of their political futures.
