  1. Musk is the new national joke. He is running many businesses poorly.

  2. Hey GOP: we don’t have a prime minister. Send him home. He doesn’t belong in power.

  3. He only has power if you give it to him. GOP are spineless cowards.

  7. Lots of Republican members of Congress who were screaming about Biden and his ties to China, all of a sudden China is a golden Paradise that must be appreciated and revered.

    What’s that? Musk has factories in China? What a coincidence.

  8. Going to be a lot less anti-China rhetoric with Enron Musk running the show. Can’t risk losing his precious Shanghai factories. R.I.P. Taiwan 🇹🇼

  9. Musk won’t have presidential immunity from scotus so any official facts will need to be filtered through Trump.

  10. Just to point out this is what they wanted with citizens united. To create an oligarchy and they have successfully done that.

  11. The US doesn’t have a prime minister.

    It’s amazing to me that the GOP would be so spineless to hand all of this power to an unelected man.

    The next person that says the Democrats of the party of elites, I want them to look at Trump’s incoming cabinet full of billionaires, and then listen to this quote of this dipshit congressman.

    The wealthy have bribed their way into the Democratic process for a long time in America, now they’re straight up buying it.

    Nobody right or left should think that Elon Musk having power simply because he’s got money is a good thing for Americans.

  12. Nah. If he was a prime minister he could be voted out by the parliament. Musk is more of a Rasputin.

  13. “Prime minister” is just stupid wordsmithing that doesn’t make sense in the American republic. It’s just their way of giving him a label other than “unelected oligarch” so that they can sleep at night.

  14. Good thing we voted out the elites and put the richest man in the world in charge.

  15. In a thousand years I would have never thought that the republicans would have an African American calling the shots.

  16. Remember that right wing. anti Semetic bullshit about George Soros controlling the Demicrats and the US…uhh yeah

  17. He’s more than that. He effectively controls all branches of government, because he can literally buy anyone.

  18. JFC Republicans are the most delusional, corrupt group of people I have ever seen in my life. And I work in the insurance industry

  20. I’m not American, but it looks like the US and Russian are pretty much on the same level of corruption…damn, I never expected this.

  21. So the issue for MAGA/GOP wasn’t the fact that a deep state where billionaires were running the government existed, but rather their problem with it was that it wasn’t out in the open?

    But now that it’s out and the open, it’s all good now?

  22. Don’t let them pivot that way. Trump could live with having a PM, he can’t live with everyone saying he is not the real President.

  23. Edit: screw it, I’ll rip the bandaid off.

    We can thank conservative/republicans voters for this. And it’s all downhill shenanigans from here.

  24. They’re trying to get us to stop calling him President Musk, because it offends dear leader.

    Don’t call him Prime Minister Musk. Call him President Musk. He’s assuming he has Presidential power; we don’t have a Prime Minister.

  25. And this GOP congressman let it happen. He’s the real clown.

  26. President Musk and Assistant to the President Trump dislike this simile.

  28. This country is becoming a laughing stock. Soon we’ll be crying

  30. Deport Musk:

    The Washington Post alleges that in 1995, Musk was admitted to Stanford University’s graduate school but didn’t enroll in classes. He instead used the student visa to stay in the U.S. and work on what would eventually become Zip2, Musk’s online business directory. The Post also alleges that in 1996, investors made a funding agreement contingent on Musk obtaining permission to work in the U.S. within 45 days. Zip2 board member Derek Proudian told the newspaper that Musk’s immigration status was “not what it should be.”

    Charge musk with immigration violations, seize his assets, and deport him immediately.

    Rule of law… Law and order… right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

  31. If only the USA was a parliamentary democracy and then it would be a vastly different set of circumstances.

    Musk bought the Presidency and installed Trump along with his cartel of billionaires in the WH.

    He is not a Prime Minister by any stretch of the imagination and is more like a landlord of the US political system.

    He can evict Trump in favour of Vancey Boy if he so chooses and can buy Congress ten times over.
