Musk emphasized that Trump’s leadership would bring “business savvy” to future military operations.
MAR-A-LAGO, Fla. — Tesla founder Elon Musk announced on Monday that Donald Trump will serve as commander-in-chief for the next four years, describing the decision as a “logical step forward for democracy—or at least what’s left of it after we’re done.”
The announcement is the latest in a series of moves Musk has made on behalf of the 47th president-elect, following his reported $250 million contribution to secure Trump’s victory in November’s presidential election.
In his new role, Trump will oversee the United States military and state militias when activated by Congress to combat domestic terrorism, including “ketamine-induced demons inside Elon’s head.”
“He’ll be doing a lot of fighting over the next four years,” an anonymous source told Duffel Blog. “Mostly with Elon’s demons and the infighting within our own political party, but still, plenty to fight over.”
