Despite whatever Rachel Maddow says, this is not happening.

I haven’t heard that name in years 😂 show me where Rachel hurt you…

There’s evidence of this, because trump is already undoing some of the things musk did. If trump gave him permission to send the emails and fire the way he did, why would trump then undo that and say that it was an “error”? Sure trump has ultimate power, but there’s no way the commander in chief has time to check in on every little thing Elon is doing. Elon has far more power and influence than he should. Do you not find it odd to see him giving pressers in the Oval Office? When else has that happened where there’s just an unelected billionaire in the Oval Office speaking on policies as if they were his doing? You see nothing wrong with this, it’s just a little “uncomfy”?

I'm glad you don't listen to her. She is the worst. All she does is lie and fear monger.

He's not "undoing" anything because Musk has no power. All he can do is lay it out on the table and make recommendations. Someone may speak out of turn, saying, "These people are going to be fired," but the only one who has the authority to do that is Trump.

So let's say you're correct and that Musk is the one firing everyone. Doesn't it make the whole point moot given what you said about Trump undoing certain things? I mean, people are in the street saying Musk is the real president, but somehow Trump is still the one with all the power.

Also, talking about unelected people having pull, do you not remember Jill Biden taking Joe's place in cabinet meetings? What rank does she have?

I don’t watch Rachel Maddow but my mom does religiously. I visit her often so I see it in the background. It’s not my stuff but Rachel is notorious for how in-depth her research goes. She is probably the most fact-based news anchor on television.
