Summary
Elon Musk has amassed significant power in Trump’s White House, leading DOGE and embedding his tech team into federal systems.
Musk is using his X account like a personal White House pressroom podium to dominate the news cycle, pushing conspiracies and undermining Trump’s announcements.
Ironically, Trump now struggles to control Musk, who is doing to Trump what Trump did to the GOP—pushing limits and amassing a devoted fan base. Trump knows that Musk is willing to out-crazy him.
While Trump tolerates him for now, tensions may rise as Musk’s influence grows.
Musk understands new media? Are we sure about that?
He knows his way around a shitpost
I wonder about that. X is like those sitcoms where they add a laugh track after every shitty joke, except the laugh track is likes and bot comments.
He understands it better than Trump, although that isn’t saying much.
Elmo slightly knows memes because he tries to be “hip with the kids”.
Memes just make Trump angry.
