Trump Sure Seems Pissed at Elon Musk Over the Spending Bill
"Trump is rushing to remind the media that he is the captain of the GOP, not Elon Musk.
The “President Musk” rhetoric gained steam among Democrats after the billionaire helped kill the continuing resolution to keep the government open, voicing his opposition long before the president-elect did.
But Trump wants the world to know he’s still the one calling the shots.
“As soon as President Trump released his official stance on the CR, Republicans on Capitol Hill echoed his point of view. President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop,” said Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, as reported by Business Insider’s Bryan Metzger.
The statement may be a sign of growing friction between Trump and the world’s richest man, who backed his return to the White House."
