Summary
MSNBCās Lawrence OāDonnell criticized Donald Trumpās Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk, calling it āthe most powerless image of a presidentā ever.
Musk dominated the eventāstanding over Trump, speaking more words, and violating White House norms with his casual attire and childās presence.
OāDonnell contrasted Muskās influence with Trumpās past and present vice presidents, arguing that neither Mike Pence nor JD Vance would challenge Trumpās authority in such a manner.
Thatās what Iāve thought until now, but after that display I donāt think heāll do anything to Musk, who it seems really does have some power over himāthe money of course, but maybe something else tooāmaybe some dirt, maybe something in conjunction with Putin. But to let that little brat say those things[*] to him and his only reaction was to be submissive and look away tells me Musk really is the one in control here. This is actually scary.
[*] āYouāre not the president, you need to go awayā and āI want you to shut your fucking mouth upā

He rigged the election for himā¦ Even if it didnāt cause the win, if he has irrefutable proof he rigged the election then he can bring Trump down with him. He could boost it into everyoneās Twitter feeds that he didnāt actually win and they would be forced to do something about it.
Thatās a good one, though Iām not sure even that would turn his followers against him or get the republican party to willingly give up the power theyāve gained. Though, maybe it would get the military to defy their fox news boss and oust him.
This is 2016 Trump coming home to roost
