Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) lobbed an insult that would almost certainly get under Donald Trumps skin on Thursday after Elon Musk helped tank a Republican government spending bill the day before. Wednesdays development led Democrats to suggest the Tesla CEO is Trumps shadow president, and prompted President Musk to trend on the billionaires X social media platform.
Goldman suggested Trump might fall even lower in the pecking order during an appearance on MSNBCs All In With Chris Hayes. Hayes had called Trump and Musk the two co-presidents-elect. We need to face the reality: Right now, we have President Elon Musk, Goldman said. And Donald Trump, maybe hes vice president. I guess vice presidents dont do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff.
Goldman argued that Musk has no idea how government operates or how government runs and has his own very self-interested view of everything.
He also pointed out that Musk spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help elect Trump, and that Trump still stands to make financial gains from the relationship if a rumored merger between their respective social media platforms were to actually take place. Elon Musk has Donald Trump in a vice, and it is very clear that Elon Musk is now calling the shots, Goldman said.

himself.
