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.

    I’m gonna call bullshit on this. For years now, I’ve been reading articles just like this one, and at the end of the day, nobody that could change anything did a fucking thing. It’s just posturing and means nothing.

    All of the people swirling around in the sewage that is donvict’s thugs are probably pissing off each other, because all of them are Karens, FFS.

    Even annoying AF people get annoyed by other annoying assholes…

    I forgot there were going to be potentially 3 CEOs in the Whitehouse. They’re going to get under each other’s skin like you wouldn’t believe. We’re still fucked but the infighting should be quite enjoyable.

      As a European, I’m here with a bucket of popcorn in one hand, enjoying the shit show. I’m of course scared for what will happen, and the consequences will impact the entire planet, but since I have absolutely nothing I can do about it, the enjoyment will suffice.

    The more he acts up, the quicker trump will dump his ass. Fat Donnie is the dictator and wants all the attention, other people taking that away get dumped, bigly!

      By Christmas the Department of Government Efficiency (they really should have used Excess for the E) will no longer be going to exist.

        Holy shit, you’re so right, it would’ve made so much more sense! But do you really think they know hard words like this? I’d be utterly flabbergasted if trump had used the word “holistic” in a sentence that would’ve made sense, but that won’t happen.

    It’s going to be 4 years of basically watching all of these imbeciles gnaw at eachother while everyone else’s quality of life just dies around them. Lovely.

    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.

      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.
