Former CNN host Don Lemon told TikToker Will John that people are insisting X CEO Elon Musk is the real president in charge of President-elect Donald Trump.
Don Lemon was caught in a verbal war against a TikToker over Elon Musk’s influence on President-elect Donald Trump. The ex-CNN host spoke to various people in New York City over the weekend about the claim Democrats were pushing that the X CEO was the shadow 'President Musk' over Trump based on Musk leading an online conservative opposition to a bipartisan deal to avoid a partial government shutdown. 'Who is the real president-elect, you think?' Lemon asked.
Democratic lawmakers in Washington are calling Elon Musk now, and they’re saying Donald Trump is the vice president or the head of communication,' Lemon followed up. 'What? Wait a second, no. No one said that,' John said. Lemon interrupted, 'Really? Have you not paid attention—' 'Absolutely not. I’m paying attention to what I’m doing during my day, so I can try and get a better life and get ahead,' John said.
Several liberal media pundits like Lemon also insisted Musk was either co-president or president himself over Trump. 'Elon Musk, the guy who really runs things. He's not just Trump's co-president. I think that's way too low a title,' MSNBC's Chris Hayes said during his monologue on Wednesday. 'He's the head dude in charge and House Republicans certainly know who they are taking their marching orders from.
