Trump reacts to people saying Elon Musk is in charge

In a recent speech at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, President-elect Donald Trump addressed claims that Elon Musk holds significant influence over his administration. Trump dismissed these assertions, humorously noting that Musk, being born in South Africa, is constitutionally ineligible for the U.S. presidency. He praised Musk as a "great guy" and highlighted his role in leading the Department of Government Efficiency, aimed at reducing government size and spending. These comments come amid criticism from Democrats who suggest that Musk's influence is overshadowing Trump's leadership, especially after Musk's opposition to a bipartisan government funding bill contributed to its derailment.
