It's all of a parcel with Trump's Godfather act and his successful businessman act. A weak autocrat's idea of how a strongman dictator behaves.
The difference between Trump though and any other dicatator on the planet is that Trump will be the commander in chief of the worlds most powerful army. So whatever Trump says has a totally different weight compared to Iraq or North Korea.

Even more so probably if Trump continues his effort to replace people below and above him in positions of power in America, like the supreme court, with his buttlicking sycophants.

Elon suspends Canadian Twitter account for suggesting that Canada will not join the US

Not exaggeration or spin:

Jackson changed the letters on the marquee to spell out: “Forever neighbours, never neighbors.” The message — highlighting the difference in the way Canadians and Americans spell certain words — was a swipe at U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s repeated suggestion that Canada could become the 51st state.

Within hours, an image of the new sign posted to the strip club’s X account was flagged as potentially hateful content, resulting in the account, @ThePenthouse604, being suspended that night.

"He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon said. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it – I’m not prepared to tolerate it any more.”

He added: “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by inauguration day”, which falls on 20 January. “He will not have full access to the White House. He will be like any other person.”

It's funny but it tracks so hard that MAGA accepted Elon, and that probably half of them still do - for now at least, that might be changing.

Like, okay so it's obvious why Trump likes Elon, he likes anyone who gives him enough money and that's as deep as it goes. But MAGA? You'd think they would hate him. He's a foreigner, he's a billionaire elite, and he very publicly does and is doing all the things they say they hate billionaire elites for doing - like injecting himself into politics and buying politicians. Like he just openly bought Trump right in front of them, didn't even try to hide it, and they were all straight up like "This is fine!", and it's all for exactly the same reason they like Trump: because Elon goes to the bare minimum to pander to their happy-buttons with "blah blah Woke", which makes them feel seen and happy. That's ALL it takes.

Elon might have ruined that now with his strictly utilitarian stance on H1B visas because foreigners and immigrants are supposed to be bad, and at least a few of them are resenting that he was able to sway their idol off-message with his money.
