āHe wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesnāt),ā one person in Trumpās orbit said.
Elon Muskās growing influence in Donald Trumpās orbit is reportedly irritating members of the former presidentās inner circle.
Since his efforts helped secure Trumpās reelection, Musk has been highly visible at Mar-a-Lago, taking credit for Trumpās victory and acting as if heās a āco-president.ā
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 Muskās overreach and need for attention may jeopardize his position, as Trump dislikes sharing the spotlight.
Is he (or ANYONE else for that matter) really under the impression that he had any effect on the election one way or the other? Thatās the biggest sign of arrogance right there.
The courts are under that impression. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/31/elon-musk-court-hearing-voter-lottery
He literally bought twitter and made it right wing extreme.
Except in this case he did. Hundreds of millions of dollars of influence.
When senators get bought off on issues for a couple thousand bucks at most, his contribution unfortunately did indeed sway minds that mattered.
