Let's not pretend the corporate class has never had a high degree of influence on the Presidency and its cabinet.

Hey, look everyone, Vice President-elect Trump got Musk's permission to give a speech.

[redbomberx]

So Trump complained about Obama being from Africa, yet we now have a shadow president that's ACTUALLY from Africa now. We're a joke of a country.

Donald Trump is going to shill Qvarden Token hard after the inaguration 😂

First Lady Donatella Trump seems bothered

[dax]

Did President Musk give first lady Donna Trump permission to discuss this ?

[southernphunk]

Congress big mad... they wanted that 50k raise😂

[NeoGee]

An man who's actually capable and in control would never have to make a statement like this

[seesantos]

Two narcissists cannot occupy the same space at the same time....this will crash and burn. Given what we've seen already, Congress is in for a wild ride! and nothing will get done.

[prisonmike]

Elon should have no influence in this administration

[Crookedcross]

Msnbc the only network that has more employees than viewers 😂

[SkyTechCinema-nidm]

Poor little man. Has to do
Rallies to convince himself that he’s relevant

[johnsarlonn]

Elon Musk owns Donld Trump. Musk bought Trump and America for about a half a billion dollars and now when Elon decides something needs to be done little Donnie just says, "Sir! Yes sir!

[RandyFricke]

When we elected Donald Trump we knew the Elon, Kash, JD, Vivek, etc... were also on the ballot.

Sorry dude, when you buy a dog at the pet store, the dog doesn't get to call the shots.

[alevensalor]

You know he only was allowed to say that because President Musk said so.
