Why is Elon Musk attending Trump's Cabinet meeting today?

Seriously this whole thing has gone entirely too far. No one elected Elmo. He has not been confirmed by the Senate. He hasn't even been vetted. . . yet this dude has been absolutely torching federal government departments and agencies. His Spacelink also just was granted a contract with the FAA. Conflict of interest much? It just goes to show that Trump and Republicans don't care about norms and doing the right thing. Elon gave hundreds of millions of dollars to help get Trump re-elected and they know that he has billions more to spend to primary them if they don't do what he and Trump want. Pathetic.

He seems to have much more power than he should.

Is 'first buddy' now an officially recognised position?

I'm not sure if you have seen it yet, but it is on Instagram, Facebook and I am pretty sure, Truth Social. It is one of the worst AI videos Trump's account has ever posted about Gaza. I'm so offended and angered. Have you seen it yet?

Hold onto your britches. You are jumping way too far to conclusions here. I am sure Elon is there to answer questions about DOGE, which would make sense to me. As for Elon being unelected or unconfirmed, perhaps we're missing the one thing we should be GETTING. Forever and a day we've asked the foxes to watch the hens. With all the checks and balances and protocols, did that EVER really get the job done. Maybe it's time we pop our heads in ask the hens how they are really doing and let the foxes sweat a little bit as the truth is told.
