In Arizona speech, Trump jokes Musk is ‘not going to be president’

Politico  

Trump’s comments came as Democrats have sought to use Musk, the world’s richest person, as a foil, accusing him of undermining the incoming president. Just days before, Trump — along with Musk — intervened in House Republicans’ initial government spending package, leading to chaos as Congress raced against the clock to avoid a government shutdown. The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, put out a video calling Trump “vice president” to “President Musk.” Republicans have sought to downplay any rift between the two, with Trump’s team dismissing those claims as “ridiculous.” Amid the spending bill debacle last week, Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s incoming White House press secretary, said, “President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop.” “All the different hoaxes, and the new one is, ‘President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk,’” Trump said to the crowd on Sunday. The Musk comments came toward the end of Trump’s hour-plus-long victory lap of a speech, where he touted winning the popular vote, praised his “all-star” Cabinet picks and outlined goals for his upcoming term.
