Elon Musk can easily use Donald Trump's greatest advantage against him

Salon  

The more Donald Trump denies he's being controlled by billionaire Elon Musk, who purchased the president-elect with over $250 million in campaign spending this year, the less anyone believes him. Democrats started the "President Musk" meme, and, predictably, Trump's narcissism has led to defensiveness. But that's also why, as Ocasio-Cortez said, Musk's involvement is politically toxic for Trump, as it hands Democrats an apt illustration of how Trump sides with rich parasites against working people. Trump's favorite tool to keep politicians in line, threatening to run a primary opponent, makes even more sense for Musk, who can offer any such person limitless financial resources.
