Dan Goldman: ‘Elon Musk, An Unelected Oligarch Is Governing by Tweet’

EXCERPT:

GOLDMAN: "I don‘t really think there is a calculation. Honestly, I think they‘ve been clearly, as Donald Trump has been asleep at the wheel, this is being negotiated intensively for weeks now. I find it hard to believe that Trump was not clued into what was going on, but probably more likely just paid no interest until his benefactor, the one who spent nearly $300 million to get him elected, the one multibillionaire, richest man on earth, who has numerous federal contracts, chimed in to oppose this this bill and all of a sudden Donald Trump scrambled to try to kill it because his puppet master said so. And this is — it‘s one thing when you have Donald Trump governing by tweet, as he did in his first term, where he was in communication with Congress, but now you have Elon Musk, an unelected oligarch, governing by tweet. This is absurd.”
