I wonder if it might make Trump a little mad that all anyone will ever remember about today is his chief lieutenant exuberantly doing a Nazi salute.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”
The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

People calling this a "Roman salute" are clowns. That's like saying hey, why are you giving me grief over these swastikas? I'm not a Nazi. I'm just super into Vedic north Indian culture. Gimme a break.

Elon was going to share DOGE with Vivek. He booted Vivek.
Elon was going to be housed in the Eisenhower Building. Now he’s going to be in the West Wing.
Trump kicked GOP officials out of the Rotunda so Elon and his pals could be there.
Those of us who called Elon co-POTUS weren’t fooling around.

Elon Musk is likely to be given office space in the West Wing, giving him close proximity to President Trump as the world’s richest man steers a project that aims to cut as much as $2 trillion in government spending, two people with knowledge of the planning said.
Musk Is Likely to Get Office Space in the West Wing
The world’s richest man had been expected to be situated in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, but a West Wing office would give him closer access to President Trump.

In the 10 years after a Walmart Supercenter opened in a given community, the average household in that community experienced a 6 percent decline in yearly income — $5,000 a year in 2024 dollars. Low-income, young, and less-educated workers suffered the largest losses.

New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices.
