    Did Musk declare himself President? No. Did he shut down the government? No.

    If I convinced my friend to ask that girl out he’s interested in, would it be accurate to say I asked her out? Also no.

    My statement stands. The headline is bullshit, ragebait bullshit I might add.

      If I convinced my friend to ask that girl out he’s interested in,

      And paid her boyfriend to break up with her (Speaker Johnson and the first CR), and threatened the employment of any other guy in her class (threatened to fund primaries of opponents).

      He did a lot more than just convince Trump. Turns out having more money than God is also a factor.

        He did a lot more than just convince Trump.

        But he didn’t do either of the two things the headline claims he did, so, again, my point stands.
