Wow! Such powerful, in-depth investigative reporting!!! There has to be a Pulitzer prize for this enlightenment 🤣

Nobody elected this man. He should not have this much power.

Wow I’m shocked 🙄

timing would have been better to focus on this - before the election

You think?????

Too bad Elon doesn't know technology and business. He had to get a buddy. He's not the smart business mogul like that of Hunter Biden as an oil tycoon and his knowledge and contributions to art!

and Putin bought himself an Elon Musk….

Change "some" to "everyone" and "fear" to "knows.."

I think we are way past "could".

eberyone with half a brain knows this is abusing power- by both trump and musk. and its criminal. bith by trump/musk and the media. STOP NORMALIZING TRUMPS CRIMES MEDIA

Could? Virtually certain.

He didn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars getting Trump elected without taking into consideration his ROI and upcoming legal concerns.

Ya think?

Oh SOME fear he MIGHT do that? The known selfserving person who doesn't care for others MIGHT act selfservingly and not care for others? I'm shocked.

You think he put that much money into it for fun? This is beyond obvious.

Elon Musk is Donald Trump's official carer. Who do you think wipeds Trump's butt and chews his food to spoonfeed him?

We don’t fear, we know exactly that is what he’s planning on doing

SOME?

SOME???

That's precious

Hello John hope you good ?

This was always why he did it. He doesn't give a fuck about taxpayer's money being misspent, or immigrants, or "free speech", or "safe cities", it was only ever about being able to run his businesses with zero government oversight.

Ending subsidies for his companies would be a dandy start to cutting govt waste

Duh!

He's made millions and millions of DOGEcoin which was originally a joke on Reddit but he dug it out and manipulated the price using Twitter. It's practically become a part of his brand but we're going to allow him to name is department "D.O.G.E."? They know it's bad but they truly don't care.

BREAKING: Elon Musk met with Giorgia Meloni and Donald Trump tonight. It's getting better all the time 🤗🥰

If the government is showing favoritism towards Musk's companies than it opens itself up to lawsuits. Just look at what happened to the JEDI contract.

Some fear. Duh you didn’t see this coming a mile away?

It’s no longer a question “if” he could—it is exactly what he’s trying to do.Trump is opening the gate to the hordes of millionaires/billionaires seeking power and to eventually topple American Democracy and turn it into a full-fledged oligarchy. They are not even pretending—it is so obvious.

And he will.

Of course he will. Why are you reporting as if this precisely what he will do? Intellectual dishonesty on full display.

Might!?!? Fuck off!? Why are you people at CNN so fucking stupid? Of course he will.

"Could"? That's his whole reason, and the driving force for every last one of them. That's the whole point. The grift of America.

Someone who no one elected. 2024 Election needs investigation, after Trump's 8 years of election crimes with Russia. This admin should be doing more, now.

The non-elected foreign-born oligarch wants to make policy decisions that impact Americans, and you all are just gonna let him do it? May I make a suggestion instead?

This is how he operates

Dear CNN: Ya think?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ @davidlaz.bsky.social

Wow. Did you use your brain trust to come to this conclusion?

It wouldn't shock me. He's going to be top dog in this administration.

A piercing glance into the obvious. Why is there any question of this CNN? You're dealing with an authoritarian lunatic and you treat him like he's f****** normal. CNN is a joke.

Is CNN just drama-farming now?

Looks like elon works for putin and needs to babysit him until he gets across the finish line. Putin needs him now.

He is untrustworthy and devious.

You’re not serious. This is not news. Of course he’s going to inflate his own wealth; find himself some permanent tax exemption and he will damage as many people and companies that oppose him as possible. NASA : gone. European, Chinese and Korean EV’s : gone. Crypto : official legal tender.

Add, "he said, "with link to video.

“Some” fear!? Are you stupid, @cnn? 🤦🏻‍♂️ #DestroyLegacyMedia

I mean yah obviously 😳🤔

Duh? Of course Musk and the other billionaires in DOGE are there for their own benefit. How will @cnn.com respond? (That's a rhetorical question)

Did we think he spent 250M to elect Trump to what? Do some good? No shit lol

IKR, Captain Obvious

No one "fears" it, it is an absolute certainty.

Some fear? Okay, where's the story on how your balls disappeared, and you no longer have the guts to report things without softening them until it's mush? Are you that scared of your fascist overlords? I've read that your business is failing, and at this point I feel it deserves to do so.

😂😂 of course he will.

That’s the whole purpose.

He will use his influence. Why else would he do this ?

Such an attitude also is a classical act of a 'fascist',whom he dangerously praised before against 'DEMOCRACY, LIBERTY AND POPULARITY'! Nominating 'ILLITERATE' & businessmen 'KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY' but caring only about self money and companyish benefits is very DANGEROUS for USA!

“Some fear”? You mean half the country. The other half HOPES he does it! Isn’t your job to make a fact filled case on why this will be bad? The reason half the people in this country are in a cult is your refusal to understand that you can’t be neutral when the other side has lost their minds.

Fear he COULD?

Buisness buying influence to gain advantage against competitors, how unusual in the US political system ! No wonder so many won't vote in US elections

Yeah, we know. We figured this out long ago. How do you fall this far behind? I hope he gets the CEO treatment.

File under D for duh.

Ya think!

Ya think!?! 😂😂😂🤡

No shit

Why would a guy like this do such a thing?

Of course he will. He's a mentally injured person seeking revenge for all his imagined damages. He doesn't believe in anything, does everything for his own gain only.

Can??? Will!

I hope they have copious amounts of dirt on each other that they start televising it in an attempt to take each other out.

Well duh

Seems to be open season on CEO’s, I would say that Musk needs to tread carefully, but he’s already gone too far…

This is one of those "Thank you, Captain Obvious" posts

Send that SA scum back to Russia and make sure he takes cruella deville with him….

And he shall prevail in his pursuits given the nonchalant, cavalier attitude that prevails throughout this nation. We must earnest pursue a legislative body, in both houses of Congress, who will serve their constitutional purpose and challenge the executive and not cower! 2026, the year of change!

“Both Musk’s SpaceX and Bezos’ Blue Origins compete for federal government contracts, some wonder whether he will use his influence to further entrench SpaceX’s already dominant position as a government contractor”. CNN Business Report

LOL…the Felon-Elect is incompetent and Musk knows that. Of course he will do anything and everything in his power to grow his wealth. The questionable immigrant bought an election. And literally is the Acquisition-Elect president. It will be a Musk Administration.

You misspelled “First Lady". ☝🏻

Mine too.

You're a bit late with these articles. Maybe you should have started long before November.

In the Trumpian Era V2.0, highly doubtful there is going to be any form of conflict of interest protections regarding what Trump & his techno-nazi/Christian Nationalist/alt-right oligarchs do. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

Foreign born billionaire Prophet Little Nicky

Well, no that can't be true, I am sure he will do all efforts he can to improve all Americans life, he will sacrifice every dollar of their taxes.

He didn’t buy his spot with a 277 million donation out of the kindness of his heart.

Duh!

He bought this election. He is defacto president. A bad precedent for the future. Now Bezos and friends will run for office.

this is why CNN and MSNBC r irrelivant any more!!! wasting print on thinkgs we already know and think we are suprised!!! i feel like i am reading MAD magazine

They just feared this now? He's already doing it, and will 1000% do even worse.

The most cynical hypocrisy is labeling crimes as pleasing to God. This is at the heart of global anti-cultism. Exploiting God’s name is a severe crime. Watch "The Impact"

"Some fear..." Understatement of the year! Worst yet, he'll believe it's absolutely right and proper because he's the one doing it...and he's always right!

Not worried about him being him getting richer and more powerful. Whats he going to do if he gets more powerful, buy his own planet. I am more worried about the damage he can do to every day Americans right now, in his current position, to fulfill his far right wing fantasies.

Try again, CNN. This would only be a news story if Elon was using his new potion for something other than personal gain that will ultimately squash his rivals.

Corporations Undermining Neutrality via Trump

Of course he will. It’s the only reason he’s buddied up with Trump. He thinks he’s smarter than Trump so can manipulate him. That’s no doubt true but I remember another group of industrialist who thought the same about a different, particularly nasty autocrat. That didn’t work out well.

Self dealing and corruption. Headline should be ‘Corruption: How Elon plans to abuse power to enrich himself further’

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTY5tBPdC/

Not a potential risk but an absolute certainty. It’s the whole point. Why work with government to accomplish that end, when you have an opportunity to become part of government and can guaranty it.

Little doubt Musk will attempt to rive rival Rivian's govt deal.

He paid enough to get himself a chair in the Oval Office … maybe even his own desk!

I am sure that he would be popular in prison as bubba's bitch.

Breaking news from CNN: some fear that water might be wet

Really??? Who could have imagined that?!?

From the makers of QAnon comes this years hottest toy: First Buddy! (Warning, brain not included)

Written like you doubt it

Oh, what?! You think that’s a possibility? 🤣

What happened to objective journalism @cnn.com? Do you think we're all stupid? Of course, Musk will use the Trump presidency to his personal benefit. Why else spend a quarter of billion on Trump's campaign?

Good God. Some fear? It's is the goal. This is THE most self-serving administration in my lifetime. They are all there, Musk, and the Trump family included to enrich themselves with power and even more money.

Replace Elon Musk with Alex Soros and Trump with Kamala Harris, would CNN still care?

Nooo, you don’t say? Where did you get that impression? 😎

Musk is so “enthralled” by this thing called Power, which is affecting businesses. Tesla has huge quality problems, including the failed “Cybertruck”. X is no longer a Social Media platform. It is a power play. X is failing. At some point, shareholders will sound the alarm.

Ya think?????

No doubt at all that Elon musk already owns @realdonaldtruump.bsky.social and is literally buying all @MAGA supporters and @gop members.

You call him the "first buddy." The expression is "first bro."

Some fear? When is it ever beneficial to the people to have a sociopath billionaire oligarch in their government?

I was on the "quiet posters" tab and I was like... "how TF did CNN get onto any of my follows! Lying red sack of garbage!" and I was about to ragepost until I saw your comment. Ahhh, crisis averted, a little whisper of sanity. Thank you. Hey, CNN, you're STILL on the wrong side of history.

He’s also going to benefit heavily from the government underwriting bitcoin with your taxes.

@cnn.com Who are “some” that fear? What are the fears? Why are the fears present? What have been the direct promises from Trump and Elonia?? Maybe report on this new buddy in a SERIOUS WAY YOU FUCKING SELLOUTS

Well . . . Duh.

Musk didn't spend millions of dollars just to be Trump's pal...you know it, we all figured it out some time ago. 🙄
