Why the "President Elon Musk" mockery doesn't seem to bother Donald Trump
SalonIn response to billionaire Elon Musk's unlawful takeover of the Treasury Department, about 1,000 citizens and elected Democrats gathered in Washington on Tuesday to protest. Demonstrators waved signs blasting "President Musk" or "King Elon," noting that no one had elected the Trump adviser to serve as the power behind the throne. To understand Trump's indifference, it helps to look back at the happiest time in his life: a reality TV stint pretending to be a successful businessman on NBC's "The Apprentice." Yet after months of taunting Trump with the "President Musk" meme, it doesn't seem to be working. As "Some More News" laid out in painstaking detail Wednesday, Musk's reputation as a "genius" is created with the same carnival barker nonsense as Trump's reputation as a "businessman."
