Summary
Elon Musk is reportedly staying at a $2,000-per-night cottage at Mar-a-Lago, just steps from Donald Trump’s main residence.
Musk moved in around Election Day, watched results with Trump, and left briefly around Christmas.
Concerns in Washington are growing over Musk’s influence on Trump, as he has participated in personnel meetings, foreign leader talks, and legislative interventions.
The close relationship between the two has drawn scrutiny, with Trump publicly praising Musk. Musk’s stay, accompanied by some of his children, highlights the billionaire’s deepening ties to Trump’s inner circle.
Just right out into the open. This sort of blatant corruption would end careers back in the day.
It’d put people in jail back in the day.
Good thing rule of law has completely collapsed for everyone above a certain threshold of wealth, otherwise you could hope for consequences.
The fact that it doesn’t speak volumes about who really is in power.
Shame has become a meaningless word.
Yes, the multi-decade propaganda machine of the right wing has been a roaring success.
That’s why like 51% of the US voted for an sociopathic authoritarian oligarch, and the only other option was a pro-corporatocracy neoliberal.
It doesn’t change the meaning of your post but just a reminder that Trump got less than 50% of the popular vote.
And hypocrisy.
The number of Trump scandals that would have ended anyone else’s career is mind boggling.
