Whoa! This guy was already rich. Now, with his tether to Trump, he is going to make billions. The millions he dumped into Trump's campaign will serve him very well. He now will get huge tax breaks and will have about half the control of the government. RFK Jr. and Musk are going to have a lot of control. Cryptocurrency and millions of these guy's $$ will be held there. Remember? Trump said he was getting rid of the Department of Education. That's not all. Any of the securities and regulatory agencies that make it all fair will be gone. Look who will be head of the FTC soon. Musk gets to choose who will get his technology and win which wars. Oh, this should be fun to watch.

I don't begrudge Elmo his money. I wish he would just take it and fly off to Mars already though.

I don't either. He's smart but a bit crooked.

So is Trump hiring Musk and putting him in a position of power? And, is that even possible to get rid of things like that? There's a lot of things they say they'll do, but I bet they can't actually do them.

The guardrails definitely are off for the 2nd term. I find it HILARIOUS that Trump wants to dismantle the Department of Education.

@NJChicaa Well, getting rid of it is a bit extreme, sure.... but it's been an area of contention in every election. Most importantly what to do with it, and how to spend the money that's supposed to go to schools. We don't have an equal fair system in place as it is.

@kaylachan Well look at the states that are ranked at the top for education and look at the ones at the bottom. The GOP seems to like having a poorly educated electorate.

There are a lot of unknowns at the moment. Let's hope some sort of reason comes to the party.

@jaylar ........I think they will play with one another for a while. We'll see how long it lasts. Remember there is oil to be had and they both want it.

@celticeagle both are narcissists. Musk knows how to play Trump. Trump is too stupid to appreciate that other people can play him

if you know the truth of this racist who grew under apartheid, who abused his workers, who stole other people's ideas, you know it is going to be a rather treacherous situation. I got the pop corn
