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.
Does he even know how to do that stuff? I got the impression he’s just a loudmouth dumbass who doesn’t know anything about anything. I know his fanbois think he’s some kind of UberEngineer, but…I have seen no evidence of that.
Him and others created Zip2 and PayPal before acquiring Tesla, but I guess you can argue he was a silver spoon baby playing stock games until he reached the top.
What role did he actually play at those places, I wonder?
Trump said musk is ‘the best at computers’ so…
That knocks Barron down to #2
