Summary
“He wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesn’t),” one person in Trump’s orbit said.
Elon Musk’s growing influence in Donald Trump’s orbit is reportedly irritating members of the former president’s inner circle.
Since his efforts helped secure Trump’s reelection, Musk has been highly visible at Mar-a-Lago, taking credit for Trump’s victory and acting as if he’s a “co-president.”
Musk has joined key diplomatic calls and even attempted to broker peace with Iran.
Despite his appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, some close to Trump feel Musk’s overreach and need for attention may jeopardize his position, as Trump dislikes sharing the spotlight.
Pre-covid Musk quit Trumps presidential councils over “withdrawal of the Paris climate accord.” If nothing else, theres a possibility, I guess…
Pre-covid Musk was still pretending to be a liberal.
Yeah, well…
Happened once, doesn’t mean it’s can’t happen again. No matter how unlikely, this time.
I’m thinking at this point he can’t un-ring that bell. Maybe he has a stroke and pulls a reverse Fetterman, or better yet, has a stroke and pulls a Winston Churchill.
