Is the correct phrasing ‘President-elect Trump’ or Vice President-elect Trump to President-not-elected Musk?
Thursday, Elon Musk posts on ‘X’ Xed-out a bipartisan government funding deal to avoid a government shutdown Friday at midnight. Musk stopped the stopgap funding bill with a flood of misinformed and false posts about the bipartisan bill’s content that both Donald Trump and JD Vance then followed up on.
Figuratively the SpaceX rocket launcher launched a rocket into the U.S Capitol and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s lap that he didn’t see coming, after having just spent an afternoon watching the Army-Navy game with Trump and Musk. In between touchdown cheers and doing a wave, what cost-cutting measures and canceling cabinet positions, or deleting secret classified projects were discussed?
Trump could effectively appoint Musk to the Cabinet and rule over all the departments, and he would not have to pay Elon, since Elon has already paid his salary several times over.
Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee suggested Musk could be the new House Speaker replacing Johnson.
This is possible because you don’t have to be an elected U.S. Rep to become Speaker. So Ohioan Vivek Ramasamy could also be voted in as House Speaker. Although Elon hasn’t ‘stolen the Executive Branch’, he bought it having contributed over $250 million to the Trump-Vance campaign. As a South African migrant, Musk is prohibited from running for U.S. President. But in January the new Commander-in-Chief will be sworn in as President Trumusk.
Finally, we have a solution to the Russian-Ukraine special military operation.
