  2. Because…he is. The feckless GOP are running scared he is going to primary them. It really, really goes to show how nobody should ever have the wealth that fElon has.

  3. Musk’s business ties to China could bring peace between the two countries.

  4. His opinions are pretty popular, and the actions of the politicians are not.

  5. Big difference to Biden where Obama is running the show in secret.

  8. If he is in charge of his party, the Republicans are in major rebellion and not listening to his suggestions. He wanted a prolonged government shutdown, they said no.

    What good is a puppet master that can’t control his puppets

  9. Is this how the left intends to cope with their election loss to Trump? They going to believe that anyone else is “really” in charge instead of Trump?

  10. CITIZENS UNITED – nothing with change until it’s abolished

  11. No independent or republican is buying that nonsense. Yes, he got rid of censorship of the opponents that the previous administration relied on. But he has done way less meddling than people like Gates or Soros. Way less than google or youtube.
    We live in the information age, and the gatekeepers of communication and ideas have lost their monopoly. They can keep crying all they want.
