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.

    What, the autistic tech bro doesn’t fit in with the conservative old pedophile club?

    Just wait until one of their phones break or they need a printer set up, they’ll be begging him then.

      That’s not fair. Musk is also a member of the conservative old pedophile club.

      Those kung fu lessons with ghislaine and the parties with Diddy must have had him buying a lot of horses for little girls.

        Thats fair I guess but unlike the rest of them he isn’t in any legal battles over any of it, so it is all speculation just like the right does with the Clintons.

      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.
