Trump team affirms he’s leader of GOP amid ‘President Musk’ barbs
Summary
Trump’s transition team reaffirmed his leadership of the GOP amid criticism that Elon Musk, a close ally, wields outsized influence.
Musk, co-leading Trump’s DOGE, launched a social media campaign against a bipartisan stopgap funding bill, calling it wasteful.
Democrats dubbed Musk the “real leader” of the GOP, blaming his posts for derailing the bill and risking a government shutdown.
House Republicans are now drafting an alternative funding plan to align with Trump’s demands, excluding a debt ceiling increase.

Let's be real, Trump is too poor to be the president of an oligarchy.
He's tied with six other people for the 319th spot on the list of the 400 wealthiest people in the US. Pathetic.
That got him above Tay Tay?
We all know that ain't true.
soon as donvict kicks him out of the clubhouse, old spice goes and buys congress (for basically sofa cushion change) to derail everything.
hmmmmmm.
You know what a true leader doesn’t have to do?
Tap for spoiler
Affirm their position as leader.
Lol. I hope these fat bitches just spend their time arguing to death and not doing shit.
old spice might not even make it til donvict is crowned.
House Republicans are now drafting an alternative funding plan to align with Trump’s demands, excluding a debt ceiling increase.
Reporters should ask if this alternative bill has been run by Musk for his approval first or if Musk has delegated this bill to Trump to deal with.
I wish we still had those types of reporters. I get that if they say something off base they'll be doing local news spots for the rest of their career. But I wish they'd push back sometimes.
"Nuh uh..I am. I said: I am!"
Musk and Trump in an ego battle is a considerably better outcome to all this batshittery versus many other possibilities.
