Summary

Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.

Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.

Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.

His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.

    The ban is on foreign ownership of media being spread to our population. So long as the majority owner is Musk, it’s legal unless he was deported.

      Oh no. People massively misunderstand this point. It doesn’t have to be a foreign owner. It has a catch all in the definition of “Controlled by a Foreign Adversary”. (link)

      © a person subject to the direction or control of a foreign person or entity described in subparagraph (A) or (B).

      And the evidence is classified. This is literally where they can point at someone and claim they are controlled by Putin or Xi and there’s nothing you can do but try to get the law declared unconstitutional again.
