After months of getting close, the relationship between Trump and his so-called ‘first buddy’ has become ‘fraught,’ according to a New York Times reporter

Summary

Donald Trump has privately expressed annoyance with Elon Musk, despite their recent closeness.

Musk, a major Trump donor, has reportedly irritated Trump by his frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago and his bold interactions.

Trump dislikes the “President Musk” nickname and finds Musk’s assertiveness challenging, though he values Musk’s financial contributions.

According to insiders, their relationship is “fraught” but functional, with Musk’s influence limited compared to key advisers like Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller.
