Perhaps less damage will be done to the institutions,

by influencing the media to push bad press on Trump, going to the Cabinet for the 25th, and returning to "help" President Vance.

He's weaker now as an incoming President than he was in 2016. And that makes him a huge national security risk on 2025. And a House majority that won't impeach him for his future crimes.

Frick and Fucking Frack.

He's got what he wants. He'll let Elon be the face of everything. I don't understand why people think Trump cares that people who don't support him anyway are calling Elon President Musk.

... for himself and his buddies and screw the middle income workers first.

The rest he doesn't give a damn

He only "cares" when it becomes apparent people are impeding his end-goals.

Maybe trump’s family will jump in too.

What could go wrong with a relationship where they both want to lead, but only one can?
I'd like to see Musk drive Trump over the edge, because J.D. Vance is showing he isn't up to the VP job, let alone the Presidency.
I know he's worthless, but I don't think he'd let the new US Oligarchs run him. He'd spend all his time defending the Oval Office from assaults on his presidency, and he wouldn't have any ability to direct the Congress. It'd create a new level of chaos in this administration. Could JD pick his own man as VP, or would they wave enough money in front of him to control the pick?

Elon might want to reconsider who the new President is....and it's not him.
