What Trump is too stupid to realize is that this is Musk's presidency. Trump has always been a puppet to money and Elon can just buy him off, like he bought his way into Tesla.

And Musk os too stupid to realize that Trump cares about the image of holding piwer, not about the power itself. He's very easy to control from the shadows, but Elon can't keep his face out of the public eye.

This has been obvious from day 1 of the Trump and Musk show. Trump is an ego maniac and does not like other people taking the lime light.
Trump is predictable in that sense but then highly unpredictable as he turns to his next round of courtiers and sycophants.
I have also done a lot of drugs and made this face.
"I'm in fucken space rn, I wonder if anyone can tell I can't feel my lips"
It IS President Musk.
So, if musk does become speaker of the house, he also is 3rd in the line of succession.

Surely the leopard won't eat my face!
Is there any way we can encourage this civil war
Just keep pointing out the reality, that President Musk is really running the show, while puppet dumpy takes orders.
It's not new. Take a look at all the billionaires telling him what to do. He's not in charge.
We really need to lean into this
Well we all know it's true, Trump is mentally weak and is easily manipulated by President Musk.
Looks like we found (again) his weak spot. Take his power away, and he freaks out.
Also his head and neck are typically exposed.
And bright orange, like a target.
Daily reminder that it's always a good idea to tweet Trump with messages like "why aren't your ideas as good as <insert scumbag here>?"
Get them in the habit of tearing each other apart and we can keep them occupied for most of the next 4y.
While I do want this to be true it doesn’t sound like he’s pissed more just damage control
We need people at every Trump event holding up giant signs that say “We ❤️ President Musk!” Line the streets leading to Mar-a-Lago with these signs!
Then rinse and repeat for every other shitheel that’s aligned with the Orange One.
“So I guess it goes from Putin to Musk to trump to the cleaner’s… right, Kent?”
Hot damn I get this reference and love that movie!
Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!
Yeah don't see many quotes from that movie! It's in my top 10 and I own that movie. Great sound track too.
"It's times like these I ponder the immortal words of Socrates who said... 'I drank what?!'
Fight! Fight! Fight!
I guess donvict better keep that "Truth" "Social" scam running for a while, because he's going to need a platform to bleat on about Elmo when he gets pulled from Xitter.
8 years ago I'd have thought "Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money." Now, I know he's just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.

Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk's opinion will influence Trump's actions.
"We didn't vote for Felon. Wait, ok, not that Felon"
Wait until JD Vance remove Trump using 25th amendment see how that blows their minds.
Ohh and the egos on both of them. This is going to be like working on a marvel movie.
Tee hee.
so...we can just pit the vipers against each other until they bite each other to death?

Trump
Who? Not ringing any bells.
Oh, they are not getting along. Is it time to pacify the populace with some WWE drama!?
Who is the heel Muskrat or Aotus? Maybe they will take turns, won't that be entertaining!
