President-elect Donald Trump, addressing House Republican leaders at a Washington hotel on Wednesday, quipped that he "can't get rid of" Elon Musk, perhaps his most influential advisor during the presidential campaign. "Elon won't go home. I can't get rid of him—at least until I don't like him," Trump joked, acknowledging Musk's growing presence in his inner circle.

The Tesla CEO, a frequent face alongside Trump in recent weeks, arrived at the GOP conference in Washington just as Trump was entering to address the leaders. According to the Associated Press, Musk received three standing ovations and was warmly approached by numerous lawmakers. "He's a bright light in any room he's in," said Rep. Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican, describing Musk as "a commanding presence" during the meeting.

Trump and Musk flew in together from Florida and landed at Joint Base Andrews near the Capitol early Wednesday. The GOP conference preceded Trump's White House meeting with President Joe Biden.

"He's behaving as if he's a co-president and making sure everyone knows it," one of the sources told NBC News. "And he's sure taking lots of credit for the president's victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. He's trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one," the source added.

1. Lol, TSF just realized that Musk is the real president,

Musk will be telling TSF what to do; it's Putin - Musk - then - Trump.

3. Trmp is very close to being disposable

4. Yup, you get it.

Musk has top security clearance and is allowed to speak with Putin. I am sure that Putin and Musk coordinated the theft of the election.
I am betting that Musk's job is to make sure that Trump does not stray from what Putin wants done.

It isn't Musk who Trump can't get rid of, it's Putin. That's what the nude Melania pictures were all about, a message to DonOld.

9. He would have

Author Stephen King on Wednesday addressed what he said were rumors about him mocking tech billionaire Elon Musk and being removed from the social platform X.

“I see there’s a rumor going around that I called the Musk-man Trump’s new first lady.” King said in a post on X. “I didn’t, but only because I didn’t think of it. There’s also a rumor going around that Muskie kicked me off Twitter. Yet here I am.”
