Summary
Trump is reportedly frustrated with Elon Musk’s constant presence at Mar-a-Lago, despite publicly praising him as a key donor.
Musk, who has rented a cottage near Trump’s residence, has attended meetings and dinners, sparking tension within Trump’s circle.
While Musk aligns with Trump’s policy goals, his assertive behavior and proximity have irritated both Trump and his advisers.
As Trump transitions to the White House, Musk’s influence may wane, with insiders predicting limited access.
No, I mean it.
This isn’t news, this isn’t politics. It’s gossip and trash. It doesn’t belong in front of anyone’s eyes.
I mean, John Mulaney is right. We do have to keep tabs on the state of US politics, even if only for our own personal safety, and even if it’s just become a trashy reality show.
The fact is, Musk falling out with Trump probably carries real, practical ramifications for what will happen to us and our institutions.
Not only that, if we can get Trump to abandon every one of the people who have his ear by simply shouting that they’re the actual president, we can keep him from listening to more competent villains than himself. President Musk here is showing us how long it takes for that to happen.
