Staff ReportsIn a recent gathering at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, President-elect Donald Trump addressed the wild claims coming from the left regarding Elon Musk’s alleged presidential aspirations. Some Democrats have taken to the airwaves, breathlessly dubbing Musk as “President Musk” ever since the tech giant publicly challenged a massive spending bill in Congress. Apparently, the left is so desperate for anyone to demonize that they can’t resist an opportunity to pit the billionaire entrepreneur against the former President.
Trump wasn’t having any of it, humorously clarifying that Musk’s talents, while impressive, do not extend to launching the country into the Oval Office. The absurdity of the Democrats’ narrative was on full display as they attempted to create a non-existent feud between the two unlikely allies. Instead, Trump praised Musk for his entrepreneurial brilliance, embracing the idea of having capable and intelligent people in critical positions—even if those roles are entirely fictional.

The former President made it clear that those allegations were just more attempts by the left to spin the wheels of their conspiracy theories. Amidst their usual repertoire of “Russia, Russia, Russia” and “Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine,” the latest addition to their buffet of hoaxes has become “Trump has handed the presidency over to Musk.” Trump, with his characteristic flair, dismissed these claims and acknowledged Musk’s contributions, reminding everyone how refreshing it is to have talented individuals who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.
Trump also took a moment to reflect on Musk’s invaluable support during significant events, notably how Musk’s Starlink satellites provided critical internet access after Hurricane Helene ravaged North Carolina. The former President pointed out that this initiative saved lives, emphasizing the necessity of innovative thinkers in times of crisis. It’s hard not to appreciate how Musk applies his genius in practical ways, especially when it benefits everyday Americans.
In a light-hearted jab, Trump reassured his audience that Musk isn’t a threat to his political throne since he “wasn’t born in this country,” letting out a chuckle at the notion of Musk presiding over the United States. The bromance between Trump and Musk is flourishing, with the former expressing gratitude for Musk being a major asset—both in Pennsylvania and beyond. If there’s anything to glean from this recent conference, it’s that Trump’s humorous reassurances show he’s not just safe in his role but also pleased to have a fellow trailblazer on his side.
