Democratic Lawmaker Trolls Trump With Snarky Twist On 'President Elon' Diss

Dec 20, 2024, 09:31 AM EST

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) lobbed an insult that would almost certainly get under Donald Trump’s skin on Thursday after Elon Musk helped tank a Republican government spending bill the day before. Wednesday’s development led Democrats to suggest the Tesla CEO is Trump’s “shadow president,” and prompted “President Musk” to trend on the billionaire’s X social media platform.

Goldman suggested Trump might fall even lower in the pecking order during an appearance on MSNBC’s “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 he’s vice president. I guess vice presidents don’t 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.

Musk's shadow. He needs the limelight for
himself.

…Elon could always dangle the carrot in front of his lowness suggesting Elon will buy out his truth social. That could keep his lowness in line…and it will drive him berserk!
