Summary

Donald Trump dismissed concerns over Elon Musk’s growing influence in Republican politics, telling supporters Musk cannot be president due to being foreign-born.

Musk recently played a key role in derailing a government funding bill, with critics dubbing him “President Musk.”

His $250M support for Trump’s campaign and appointment to co-lead a new efficiency office have raised conflict-of-interest concerns, particularly over Tesla’s ties to China.

Tensions could emerge over Ukraine, where Musk’s Starlink supports the war effort Trump vows to end.

      Biggest risk is that musk isn’t very likely to keel over and drop dead in the next 4 years due to age and lifestyle.

      Trump probably won’t either, but he’s Hella more likely to.
