Michael Cohen - Musk Brings Tweets To A Gunfight

Let me be perfectly blunt: this isn’t a clash of titans. This isn’t Godzilla versus King Kong. This is Mike Tyson in his prime walking into a daycare and challenging a toddler with finger paints to a bare-knuckle brawl. Elon Musk: visionary? Maybe. Genius? Possibly. But political warrior going head-to-head with Trump, the sitting President of the United States, commander of the world’s most powerful military, and a man who rewrote the rules of power? Please. Not a chance.

It’s not even close.

People love to romanticize billionaires. Wealth, after all, looks like power—until you come face-to-face with real power. And real power isn't having a rocket company, a car company, or even a social media platform. Real power is having the nuclear codes, the IRS, the DOJ, SCOTUS, the FBI, the FCC, the FTC, and ICE on speed dial. Real power is owning the game board while everyone else is fighting over tokens. And right now, Trump owns the whole freakin’ board.

So Elon, thinking himself some hybrid of George Washington and Iron Man, launches the “American Party” with a tweet, some fanfare, and—let’s be honest—a mountain of ego. He thinks he’s giving America back its freedom. What he’s really doing is handing Trump a political bat and saying, “Here, take a swing.”
