Apparently taking over cabinet meetings while Trump browses social media and ignores everything, why aren't the actual cabinet members just standing up and saying "sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up, you aren't even elected or a member of the cabinet," because I certainly would, but then they are spineless traitors afraid of being fired by Trump!
You do wonder how Donald Trump’s cabinet secretaries felt when they showed up for their first meeting together, today, and found Elon Musk lurking in the corner with his black MAGA cap. Let alone how they felt when he started to address them, while the actual President sat silent and disinterested (Mr Trump appeared to be checking his phone under the table throughout much of Mr Musk’s monologue).

Mr Musk is not part of the cabinet, nor is he even, technically, the person running DOGE. As best we can tell, through court filings and a series of vague statements from the White House, he’s an adviser to the President who “oversees” DOGE’s activities.
There's no doubt at all now, Musk is running the show, he's the real President whatever Trump thinks!

He's been likened to Thomas Cromwell, which i think is a bit of a stretch. I reckon Rasputin is a closer historical comparison.

Either way, i won't be sad if it ends in a similar fashion.

Poisoned, shot (twice) then drowned? Sounds good!

One thing Elon is not up to is selling cars! Sales are plummeting in Europe as well, and i can only imagine how the Canadian market is faring but i reckon it would be worse than anywhere.
