Donald Trump Jokes He 'Can't Get Rid' of Elon Musk Amid Growing Influence
Source: Newsweek
President-elect Donald Trump, addressing House Republican leaders at a Washington hotel on Wednesday, quipped that he "can't get rid of" Elon Musk, perhaps his most influential advisor during the presidential campaign. "Elon won't go home. I can't get rid of him—at least until I don't like him," Trump joked, acknowledging Musk's growing presence in his inner circle.
The Tesla CEO, a frequent face alongside Trump in recent weeks, arrived at the GOP conference in Washington just as Trump was entering to address the leaders. According to the Associated Press, Musk received three standing ovations and was warmly approached by numerous lawmakers. "He's a bright light in any room he's in," said Rep. Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican, describing Musk as "a commanding presence" during the meeting.
Trump and Musk flew in together from Florida and landed at Joint Base Andrews near the Capitol early Wednesday. The GOP conference preceded Trump's White House meeting with President Joe Biden.

"He's behaving as if he's a co-president and making sure everyone knows it," one of the sources told NBC News. "And he's sure taking lots of credit for the president's victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. He's trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one," the source added.

TY.
The orange fuck will tire of Elon's shenanigans quickly and he will be gone. Elon expects loyalty? Appreciation?
