Dec 23, 2024, 12:08 AM
President-elect Donald Trump dismissed claims that he has ceded the presidency to tech billionaire and adviser Elon Musk, calling it a "hoax" during a speech in Phoenix, Arizona. Addressing the "President Musk" speculation, Trump assured supporters, "No, he's not taking the presidency. He's not gonna be president, that I can tell you." The comments come amid reports of Musk's growing influence in the incoming administration and his role in derailing an emergency spending measure to avert a government shutdown, highlighting his sway in congressional budget negotiations. Trump defended his billionaire ally, stating that opponents are trying to suggest Musk is taking over, but reaffirmed his position as president-elect.
