    Actually was more so dems understanding the situation were in

    The “President Musk” messaging is by design, at least partially. This week, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter and another person briefed on it, at senior levels of different Democratic congressional offices, and also within the Democratic National Committee, discussions have been had about having party leaders and elected officials actively portray Musk as effectively Trump’s boss, and to do so during television appearances that the president-elect is likely to see. The idea is that it’s a cost-free opportunity to potentially drive a petty wedge between the notably mercurial and ego-obsessed Trump and his similarly emotive pal Musk, and to sow some chaos in the upper ranks of the Republican Party.

      Pretty easy strategy to execute on when Elon’s hovering around trying to micromanage.

      Trump’s transition people were leaking that they were sick of Elon like 3 days after the election.

      This is the guy Tesla and SpaceX employees have accused of “seagull management” (flies in, shits all over everything).
