Summary
Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.
Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.
Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.
His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.
Oh no. People massively misunderstand this point. It doesn’t have to be a foreign owner. It has a catch all in the definition of “Controlled by a Foreign Adversary”. (link)
And the evidence is classified. This is literally where they can point at someone and claim they are controlled by Putin or Xi and there’s nothing you can do but try to get the law declared unconstitutional again.
Edit - because I realize the Congress page isn’t updated for some reason, if you want to find the actual law as passed, it’s Public Law 118-50. The section I reference is absolutely still in there. Even the wiki misses this crucial part of the definition.
So your thinking that his secret talks with Putin would be the information needed to list it as directed by a foreign person, could fit
My thinking is there is no actual event or relationship required.
