Where did you get that? I believe he said that Canada is the 51st. LOL.
BTW the press is consistently trying to split the Trump/Musk nexus. It seems it fears Musk more than anyone else.
However as Oligarchy becomes a characteristic of the US system the Oligarchs will gather more power.

The oligarchs Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk are gathers of massive data which they use to feed, the increasingly important AI.
So overtime power will naturally flow towards such people.

" trying to split the Trump/Musk nexus"?!? Pardon me but who the f* voted for or elected Musk to anything. He threatened the Repubs in congress with being primaried if they didn't vote the way he said they should. How the @#%**! does he get to call the shots in our government?

If you think he just cheated on his taxes here...

A Quick Reminder on the Trump Organization’s Tax Evasion in Panama

In 2019, the owners of a Panama City hotel tower that was previously managed and operated under the Trump brand, accused Trump Panama Hotel Management LLC and Trump International Hotels Management LLC, of not paying the required 12.5 percent taxes to the Panamanian government.

Think his desire to "take back" the canal just came out of nowhere?

In the end everything adds up to money with this guy and nothing else unless his ego gets in the way.

Often the people who call the shots are not the ones you voted for. It is a reality of the system.

Some do it for a benefit of the greater good of others. Others do it for their own benefit. I think we all know which of those two Musk is.

House Dem Accuses Musk of Killing Initial Spending Deal to Protect His Investments In China, Musk Hits Back With AI Image

Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) accused Elon Musk of working to kill Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) initial bipartisan spending proposal because it would have regulated his investments in China.

DeLauro said in a statement Friday she “sent a letter to congressional leadership raising concerns that Elon Musk may have upended the government funding process to remove a provision that would regulate U.S. investments in China.” Her statement added:

“The four corners of the Appropriations Committee and Congressional leadership reached a government funding deal earlier this week that included a key provision that would screen U.S. investments in critical sectors in China,” said DeLauro. “Musk’s investments in China and his ties with the Chinese Community Party have only grown over the last few years with Tesla’s Shanghai plant producing about 50 percent of Tesla’s global automobile output. It is no surprise ‘President’ Musk does not want to see a funding deal containing this provision be signed into law.”

The 81 year old congress woman tries very hard to link Musk to the Chinese Communist Party.
