Elon Musk slams Biden: 'The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter'
Foxbusiness ^ | 5-17-22 | Tyler O'Neil

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose purchase of Twitter remains ongoing, slammed President Biden in a podcast interview Monday and warned that if the government continues printing money, inflation will get worse and the U.S. might follow the path of Venezuela.

Musk, who said he has voted "overwhelmingly for Democrats," slammed the Democratic Party and Biden in particular. He suggested that Biden is something of an empty suit.

"The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter," the Tesla CEO said. "The path to power is the path to the teleprompter."

"I do feel like if somebody were to accidentally lean on the teleprompter, it's going to be like Anchorman," the CEO added, referencing the 2004 film in which Ron Burgundy reads whatever is written on the teleprompter, even if it would ruin his career.

There is a past president who majored in teleprompter. I suspect he’s got something to do with the words Biden reads.

I agree with your Biden assestment. The thing about Obama he did have charisma. Women swooned over him. He actually seemed likable. Just like GW Bush and Billy Bob Clinton.

I remember when Obama showed up at the World Series and talked to Joe Buck and Tim McCarver in the booth. He actually seemed like a baseball fan that followed the sport and knew what he was talking about. Like a regular guy. A marxist, but a regular guy. He was a great speaker when he was behind the teleprompter. Without the teleprompter, he was no so good. GW Bush always seemed like a regular guy. Very likeable. Even Bill Clinton was probably a fun guy to go out and have a couple beers. Just keep him away from your daughter and wife. Biden is despicable.

CARTER INHERITED the family peanut farm.

HE managed to file bankruptcy every 7 years for 3 cycles.

He was woefully NOT good Presidential material.

When has a Democrat ever done that? How many enemies do they keep close in DC?

Good description of the sorry POS and right on.

I have to say no one has replaced POSObama on my most hated list. BHO is as evil and vile as anyone who ever lived, IMO. He takes full advantage of the country and system he hates and continues to destroy to the best of his ability.

We’ve never had to contend with this kind of evil...evil from within on such a huge scale.

Musk, who said he has voted "overwhelmingly for Democrats,"

So, he hasn't always been the genius that people make him out to be now.

How could a person with a well-functioning brain, ever vote for democrats and as long as Musk claims. At some point, you have to come to the realization that democrats were wrong, and that you were a fool to ever vote for them. (BTW, I was a fool too, but not for long.)

“Kamala seems to be excluded.”

You don't know that for sure.

If Kamala was involved making teleprompter scripts, the scripts would sound childish.

I think she may be involved.

He’s all that - plus he has no shame. If he had any, he would have just stayed in the basement and maybe sucked on an exhaust pipe or something.
