Trump Rejects Claims of Ceding Presidency to Elon Musk at TPUSA Forum, Cites Musk's Foreign Birth
Dec 22, 2024, 07:09 PM
Donald Trump, speaking at a Turning Point USA forum in Phoenix, Arizona, addressed claims by Democrats that he has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk. Trump firmly rejected these assertions, stating that Musk 'is not going to be President' and humorously added that he is 'safe' because Musk was not born in the United States. Trump praised Musk's intelligence and contributions, particularly mentioning his work with SpaceX, but emphasized that Musk cannot assume the presidency due to his birthplace. This comes amid discussions about Musk's influence, especially after his involvement in recent budget negotiations on Capitol Hill, where he played a significant role in opposing a bipartisan deal to fund the government.
