Trump refutes Democrats' claim that Musk is the de facto president of the United States
ChainCatcher news, according to a report by CNN citing Jinshi, the Democratic Party in the United States accuses Musk of becoming the "de facto president," as last week, Musk successfully blocked a bipartisan government funding bill. In response, Trump spoke out at the "Turning Point USA" event in Phoenix. Trump said Musk "is doing a great job," and stated, "No, he will not be president. I like smart people," "They are starting a new round of attacks and all kinds of lies. The latest is 'President Trump handed the presidency over to Elon Musk.' No, no, that's impossible."
Trump then praised Musk's SpaceX for its advancements in space travel and Starlink satellite technology, but reiterated that the South African-born billionaire "will not become president." "No, I can tell you, he will not become president," he said. "I am safe, you know why? He can't, he wasn't born in this country."
