Trump Tosses Elon Musk Under The Bus While Republicans Chuckle

On Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump decided he’d let Twitter CEO Elon Musk know that he’s growing tired of his company, humiliating him in front of House Republicans during a conference.

Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC noted that Trump has a “twisted psyche” and has to “humiliate everyone around him to demonstrate his dominance over them.”

Trump told the GOP lawmakers, “Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him.”

“Everyone laughed,” O’Donnell noted. “They laughed that uncomfortable laugh. But they laugh when Donald Trump makes a joke about someone on his team, a joke that everyone knows is true, a joke that paints that person as pathetic, as Donald Trump’s personal sense of superiority demands that he do.”

Earlier this week, Trump announced that Musk would be the co-head of a new agency tasked with cutting bureaucratic waste in government.

That too is a slap in the face to Musk, O’Donnell added, because it’s a “fake” job with no actual power.

In other words, O’Donnell concluded, Trump is now officially “Elon’s daddy.”
