    Not sure why you try and twist the story. Sounds like Trump is in charge to me and said how it should be done and I think he is right. .

    Sounds more like trouble in paradise. Trump's taking a lot of heat for Musk's mishaps with respect to the chainsaw firing massacre, so he's putting in an insulating buffer of Cabinet members. This, I believe, is either to give cover to himself and Musk, or because wiser heads have prevailed, and convinced him of a better way. Or both.

    Also, they have been losing in court because they cant say who's running things or making any decisions, seems to me they are just trying to signal Trump and the agency heads are "the decider" rather than Musk for the federal judiciary. As if anything has really changed.

    Damn near every thread title is twisted like that now days. They are losing and nitpicking every story to find something that they can use.

    If you are "winning the narrative" you dont have to have a meeting about who's in charge to put in the papers so people know who is in charge.

    Nah, that's not it all. At least Biden's people were smart enough to try hide that they had taken over the oval office, if you believe that narrative. Elon is just doing it out in the open and turning Trump into his super cuck. It will be interesting to see who wins in the end. I suspected that Trump had ceded his power to Elon, anyway, since it gives him someone to blame as we fall further and further into economic chaos, and he can get more golf rounds in, too.

    Marco Rubio and Elon Musk Had Knock-Down, Drag-Out Fight on Thursday — and Trump Sided With Rubio

    Here's some more on this. Terrible optics. Feels like elder abuse, too.

    Musk got into a heated argument with our impotent "presidents" SoS, right in front of Trump, and Trump sat their quietly and was too scared to stand up to Musk for most of it, but eventually backed Rubio. Wow. Rubio was pissed that Musk fired thousands of people working under him without any notice or discussion with him. Musk said Rubio should rehire them so he can make big spectacle of firing them again, then told Rubio he was only "good on TV', and laid out his plans to overhaul Rubio's state department. I've never seen such a grand collection of cucks before.
