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.

Why is his simile upside down
It reflects his miserable persona.
He’s a genius billionaire, so we should always listen to what he says, no matter how stupid it is.

The only good part of the Trump regime will be watching them infight as we all go up in flames.
A less endearing Dwight Schrute
Assistant to the regional dictator
Is he (or ANYONE else for that matter) really under the impression that he had any effect on the election one way or the other? That’s the biggest sign of arrogance right there.
The courts are under that impression. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/31/elon-musk-court-hearing-voter-lottery
Except in this case he did. Hundreds of millions of dollars of influence.
When senators get bought off on issues for a couple thousand bucks at most, his contribution unfortunately did indeed sway minds that mattered.
Trump has promised a cabinet position to every insufferable asshole in the country who insists that everyone accept their own fringe views and talks over anyone who disagrees, while also knowing nothing about what they’re talking about. This is gonna be funny to watch, but painful to experience.
Sucks to be them.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a big punch-up?
It would be nice if their future punchups doesn’t include us as potential collateral :')
It would be like some old celebrity and someone heavily involved in social media going at it
Trump should just shit his pants every time Elon shows up.
What makes you think he doesn’t?
I’m looking forward to 4 years of great and annoying articles like this
Didn’t see this coming from about 136 miles away. Oh no…
Musk has joined key diplomatic calls and even attempted to broker peace with Iran.
That’s a pretty clear violation of the Logan Act. Gettin’ blue from holding my breath over here.
Historically the Logan act has been interpreted to not include the Presiden-Elect and their incoming administration.
If the things mentioned this is the most “normal”.
Is it possible to be part of an administration if you’ve only been named as part of a department that doesn’t exist?
I’m sure Gutless Garland will get right on it.
Who are we all really kidding with any semblance of expectations, though? It hasn’t even been 100 uears since Kennedy and the crack job that was the Warren Commission.
I’m sure the judiciary is gonna take care of it.
Just after they have some tea and cake.
Are the people singing yet?
Sadly, no, we were forced to eat the minstrels in the frozen lands of Nador.
Brave Sir Robin…

Republicans: “Billionaires are just better than everyone else and we should all get out of their way and hand them the keys to everything for the betterment of all mankind.”
Republicans After Being Forced to Spend One (1) Week Around Elon Musk: “No, shit, wait, these guys are fucking idiots!”
Trapezoid Musk wants to steal the attention away from Trump. He will never allow that. I pray they will clash at each other
we already know they hate each other this happened last term for elon/trump too.
In a ring in vegas. I’d ppv that.
So funny that Musk has specifically chickened out of a fight like that.
