00:11He didn't just criticize Trump's policies, he hinted at unseating lawmakers, forming a third
00:16party, and claimed Trump would have lost in 2024 without him. On X, Musk warned,
00:22Trump has 3.5 years left, I'll be around for 40 plus. That's a bold statement,
00:27and one Republicans can't ignore. While most GOP leaders still side with Trump,
00:32many are hesitant to fully reject Musk. He's still wildly influential, especially with his
00:38Platform X and deep political spending power. Even Vice President J.D. Vance backed Trump,
00:45but avoided slamming Musk. Polls show Musk remains popular with Republican voters,
00:50just behind Trump and Vance. And despite tensions, many still support the budget cuts from Musk's
00:56Doge initiative. Still, Trump dominates the party. His base tends to follow his lead,
