    I actually hope the media keeps this narrative of Elmo being the one in charge because I’m sure Trump will have his very bigly ego hurt and lash out.

    As I saw this I had a thought. It’s long been touted that Trump doesn’t really have any money he’s just massively in debt and lives by borrowing against his assets. Not sure if this is true or not.

    However if it is, what if Musk just bought up all that debt. So all the money Trump owes he owes to Musk.

    Effectively then he owns the president.

      Was that not the concern in 2016 as well? That he had large debts to undisclosed people who might influence him, “off the record.”

    Remember when Trumptards were supposed to hate the wealthy elite, but then they became part of one’s cult? And then, instead of that one becoming their president, some other wealthy elite is gonna effectively be doing it.

    Dumbest group of people to ever exist on the face of the Earth? Strong contenders for sure.
