Komanduri: Elon Musk ‘Owns the Republican Party’ Like Trump Did 10 Years Ago

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MELBER: “Welcome. I quoted your film comparisons. Explain.”
KOMANDURI: “Yeah, I mean to think about it. Elon Musk is very much the man behind the curtain except he is very much in front of the curtain. He is dancing and prancing in front of the curtain. Trump 2.0 is very much looking like Elon Musk 1.0. He has taken over Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party in a manner that is very similar to the way Trump and MAGA took over the Republican Party 8 or 10 years ago. And what Musk did here was he kind of saw a very clear investment opportunity. The Republican Party is led by an elderly man who is increasingly diluted, distracted, and extremely greedy. He saw an opportunity here also with the fact that there is no clear MAGA successor and he said the Republican Party is there for the taking. I just have to do a deal with Trump and then it is going to be mine and that is exactly what has occurred here. Elon Musk owns the Republican Party in the way that Donald Trump owned the Republican Party 10 years ago.”
