Elon Musk vs. Trump: Has Musk’s political influence peaked?
Musk claims he single-handedly swung the election and House for Republicans. Now, he's publicly feuding with Trump, and GOP legislators are overwhelmingly siding with the former president. Does this signal a shift in power? Is Musk's political capital waning? How much does his financial backing truly matter in today's political landscape? Could this rift reshape the Republican party?
Some argue Musk’s wealth makes him a kingmaker, capable of influencing elections and policy. Others say his recent failures demonstrate the limitations of money in politics, and that Trump's hold on the GOP base remains unshakeable. Where do you stand? Does Musk’s outspokenness help or hurt his cause? What are the long-term implications of this power struggle? Is this just a public spat, or a sign of deeper political realignment?
