What is Elon Musk planning by staying 'front and center' in Trump's universe?

Tech mogul Elon Musk, who campaigned for Trump in the final weeks of the 2024 race, has been a regular presence at Mar-a-Lago nearly every day since Election Day, according to two sources who have seen him in and around the president-elect's home and de facto headquarters in Palm Beach. But it remains unclear what exactly Musk wants when Trump becomes president. Stephanie Ruhle breaks down what Trump and Musk have been up to this past week and what this could mean.

A true immigrant “bad hombre”! But he’s white, so conservatives will give him a pass.

[drummercam]

He wants power without accountability. Period.
And he will get it.

When the richest man in the world praises a politician, it is the first reason not to vote for him.

[waleskagracia]

What does he want?! He wants POWER. Unrestrained, unlimited, unquestioned POWER. The guy is the classic Bond Megalomaniac. But, ya know, the woman.
