> Elon Musk is starting to seriously annoy some in Donald Trump’s inner circle.
> Musk has been hanging around Mar-a-Lago ever since his million-dollar gamble to help Trump win the presidential election paid off last week. The billionaire technocrat seems to have no intention of taking a back seat in Trump’s presidency, and it’s starting to piss off those in the president’s ranks, according to two people familiar with the Trump team’s transition who spoke with NBC News earlier this week.
> “He’s behaving as if he’s a co-president and making sure everyone knows it,” one of the two people told NBC.
> “And he’s sure taking lots of credit for the president’s victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. He’s trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one,” they added.
> The second person said that Musk had been overstepping his bounds, and that Musk has an “opinion on and about everything.”
> “He wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesn’t),” the source told NBC.
> Musk has been pretty busy since hitching his space-age wagon to the MAGA movement. Musk met with Iran’s U.N. ambassador on Monday, reportedly hoping to broker some kind of peace negotiation on behalf of the United States. Last week, Musk hopped on Trump’s calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “Co-presidents” doesn’t sound too far off.
> The second person suggested that Musk was hurting his chances of sticking around by not keeping a low profile, as the former president hates sharing the spotlight. Earlier this week, Trump cracked a joke at Musk’s expense during a meeting with Republican lawmakers, a reminder to everyone that Musk serves at his leisure, not the other way around.
> The second person also speculated that Musk might not be as committed to Trump’s agenda as he presents.
> This week, Trump tapped Musk to head the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a nongovernmental body that will push substantial cuts in regulations, spending, and personnel. While Trump has suggested that Musk’s role will be merely advisory, the high-level appointment has signaled that Trump’s White House is open for business to anyone who helps him politically and financially—after all, Musk transformed an essential information environment into a propaganda machine, with the sole purpose of having Trump reelected.
Yeah, unlikable cunts will do that.
“Ok good “
Yay! Let the games begin!!
Yawn.
Too bad he and Trump don’t fight a deal out back of maralago
This isn’t the silver lining we’ve been hoping for but I’ll take it
I mean if Trump tries to fire Musk and then Musk wants to start hinting about how maybe the election was tampered with and perhaps start talking about how money from Putin was brought in…. I would rather enjoy watch that sh!tshow
I don’t care , do you ?
He he bought and paid for T****. Who’s surprised he’s acting like it?
Good!
I’m not even on Trump’s team and I can’t stand the crusty, over-used enema nozzle.
Seems like fake hate to me…but what do I know, I’m just a human.
Personally, I would rather be pissing ON everyone on trump’s team. Including musk.
But maybe that’s just me.
He’s an asshole. That’s what they do.
Here’s a thought, keep him on.
Let him stir the pot. Clearly he isn’t in with any of Trump’s want to be dictator bullshit, so he’s really just stirring the pot. Let the chaos flow.
It’s gonna be a fun ride. Suck it up, he bought your presidency.
Your least favorite person’s least favorite person.
Lmao it hasn’t even started yet
Just like when he was on SNL.
There can only be one boss.
Please stop the lies, he’s your buddy, you know it….
This might be a show worth watching, I have plenty of popcorn
Of course he is! Did they not pay any attention to his behavior in the last 10 years? I’m sure the campaign managers and transition team feel like unsuccessful babysitters. He a loose cannon and uncontrollable. I’d liken them now to two rampaging toddlers.
I question those articles those days. I think it’s just all fake news altogether.
Trump hasn’t even been inaugurated and his team is in chaos. Let this continue.
In before “Elon Musk? Never met him.”
These self centered egomaniacs will never ever be able to work together, let alone achieve meaningful legislation. That is my last layer of solace.
Yeah… he’s the smart ass nerd who won’t shut the fuck up in a meeting. He has absolutely no social awareness and an untenable amount of power. It’s gonna go bad. I can’t wait for the blow up.
Trump sold himself out to this evil POS and Putin, so he has to pay the piper.
Now for this I will grab the popcorn
Leon doesn’t have handlers to buffer his shit headery with Trump like he does everywhere else.
Excellent. He’s a perfect fit for that gong show that’s about to become the government. It won’t take long before Trumpet and Elon have a falling out. Elon will get used and tossed aside like everyone that crosses Trumps path.
He is just another fool with putins thumb in his 🍩
Deal with the devil, live with the consequences of that rat fuck.
Good, everyone hates trump in the end, I can’t wait for Elon Douchebag to fallout, it will be so funny to watch these little butches scream like little girls on x at eachother
