In an interview with Newsweek, Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri suggested that the Muskian agenda is now the Republican party line — and that may help the billionaire’s bottom line, too.

“The Republican Party is led by an elderly man who is increasingly deluded, distracted and extremely greedy,” said the longtime strategist and MSNBC contributor. “[Musk] saw an opportunity here, also, with the fact that there is no clear MAGA successor.”

Indeed, as Business Insider noted in another recent analysis, Musk’s seemingly outrageous over-spending on purchasing Twitter back in 2022 may be paying off in spades now that he wields such political influence — and it all raises the question: is Trump the boss of Musk, or vice versa?

In an interview with CNN last week, New York Times senior political reporter Maggie Haberman opined that if Trump has grown weary of the brash billionaire whose dollars boosted him into office, he hasn’t been “making that especially public.”
