Laura Loomer escalates MAGA feud: Elon Musk using Trump to 'establish a monarchy'

Raw Story  

Right-wing agitator Laura Loomer warned her MAGA followers that billionaire Elon Musk was using President-elect Donald Trump to "establish a monarchy" in the United States. "I've been demonetized now, I've had my check mark taken away, realize that, well, their input to President Trump is now being overshadowed by the richest man in the world who has these ulterior motives." "So I think that he doesn't like the fact that somebody who has direct access to President Trump, as I do, and that's very well known, challenged him in a very public manner." "It's unfortunate that things have escalated, it's unfortunate that the MAGA base has had to sustain abuse from the richest man in the world, being called re---ds and saying F you in the face, okay?"
