General Discussion

Democrats had better get used to the idea that MUSK is running things, not Trump. I know we say it and joke about it here on DU. But we can see from this episode that it is real, and we also think we know that Trump is too demented and probably originally too stupid about world affairs (by choice), to really understand how Musk is playing him.

I hope Democratic Party strategists will start paying heed to this dynamic. This is how it will go for the next 4 years, or at least 2. And the only way we kill it in 2 years, is if the majority of the electorate also realizes how badly WE are getting rolled by Musk.
