“Musk is not just Trump's co-president—he is the head dude in charge,” says Chris Hayes on Musk calling for Republicans to shut down the government—before Trump even weighed in. Punchbowl’s Melanie Zanona joins to discuss.
How long before Trump turns on Musk? I’m guessing within 6 months Trump will be feeling threatened by Musk and have kicked him out of his inner circle.
The funny thing is that it’s so easy to push Trump into being at odds with his lackeys. You just get enough if a critical mass of chatter on social media saying that the other person is the power behind the throne. And that is guaranteed to get back to Trump and make him feel threatened enough to cast that person out.

Well, Elon is clearly smarter, more handsome and a better father than Donald.
At least that’s what I am hearing. ;)
Or maybe Musk will turn on Trump? He and Vance can… uh… make something happen.
He needs Musk to be a scapegoat who he can pardon after he gets prosecuted for stealing money from the government for Trump. Just like Bannon.
