Donald Trump’s second term comes with the specter of the world’s richest man serving as his political enforcer.
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.
The one silver lining of our next 4+ years of hell is that musk is inevitably going to piss off trump as more and more people decide that musk won the election for him and musk is the one in charge.
And since musk is hated at ted cruz levels... we might get an Official Act.
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.
