Summary
āHe wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesnāt),ā one person in Trumpās orbit said.
Elon Muskās growing influence in Donald Trumpās orbit is reportedly irritating members of the former presidentās inner circle.
Since his efforts helped secure Trumpās reelection, Musk has been highly visible at Mar-a-Lago, taking credit for Trumpās victory and acting as if heās a āco-president.ā
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 Muskās overreach and need for attention may jeopardize his position, as Trump dislikes sharing the spotlight.
ānobody that could change anything did a fucking thingā
Actually, things did happen. Many things happened. Your ignorance of them doesnāt mean they didnāt happen.
In this case we have an incoming chaos presidency. Government by chaos doesnāt work well and tends to return to stasis not least because people tend to want to do their jobs. Musk will disappear onto his next ADHD and excessive wealth-fueled adventure, probably Vance will have Trump shuffled quietly to the side (or maybe out a window) and the infighting among cabinet members and political appointees will ensure that few of Trumpās āpromisesā are kept.
There will be lots of damage, many people will suffer, and recovery will take a long time. But out of that things will change.
Yea, lots of things did happen, and most of them were bad. The people that Iām referring to that ācould changeā things are the republicans that could use their votes to stop tyranny, but none of them did.
I hope that youāre correct that we will see change from this, but I donāt agree with you that Musk is going to fade into political irrelevance and that JD will sunset Trump.
