Summary

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s joint interview with Sean Hannity reinforced concerns about Musk’s influence in Trump’s administration.

During the White House discussion, Musk dominated the conversation. Hannity cut Trump off to follow up on Musk’s remarks, mirroring a similar dynamic at a recent press conference where Musk spoke significantly more than Trump.

Musk defended his actions to dismantle parts of the federal bureaucracy, arguing it was necessary to restore democracy.

His prominent role raises questions about his power in the administration, especially given his substantial financial contributions to Trump’s campaign.

    Forget Biden. Bernie Fucking Sanders could have been elected to 2 consecutive terms starting in 2016 and the US would still , right now, be a highly capitalist society with fabulously wealthy corporations, and basically the same number of billionaires. Americans just might have more affordable healthcare and education, that’s all.

      And Al Gore in 2000. 9/11 would have never happened and we’d have flying cars that could go through Stargates.
