Elon Musk has "taken over" MAGA, Democratic strategist suggests
Musk has become an increasingly powerful figure within the GOP.
Summary
Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.
Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.
Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.
His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.

I hate it when journalists do someone's propaganda work for them. Musk could [not] care less about the issues. He thinks he can get more money out of a Trump presidency. Maybe some power too. Using his infrastructure and wealth to boost GOP issues was just his buy-in.
- Couldn't care less
I hate you. But you're right.
I dunno. I am sure musk thinks all of his ideas are amazing, just like trump. I am not sure it is about getting more money, just about enabling him to make his "amazing" ideas happen. The money enables that, but I think he has reached the point where money isn't whats blocking him. And power... trump wants it because it makes him feel important. Musk I think wants power to simply be able to do whatever he wants to make his ideas happen. Of course his mental state has been shifting. He could have developed a taste for more wealth and power or something. But I am still betting not.
Either way. It's definitely not about free speech and immigration.
No doubt there.
