Elon Musk's Growing Influence In Trump Administration

twitter new version X

During a recent meeting with House Republicans, President-elect Donald Trump made a lighthearted comment about his inability to part ways with tech billionaire Elon Musk. Trump humorously mentioned that Musk seems to have a fondness for his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where the two have spent time together discussing various matters.

Trump's announcement of Musk as the co-leader of the new 'Department of Government Efficiency' further solidifies the tech mogul's influence within the incoming administration. Musk's presence has been notable, as he even flew on Trump's plane to Washington for a recent trip.

Since Trump's election victory, Musk has been a frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago, reportedly engaging with world leaders and providing input on important decisions. Sources indicate that Musk has been present during phone calls between Trump and foreign dignitaries, showcasing his involvement in shaping the administration's direction.

Notably, Musk has also been vocal about his preferences for certain staffing roles, leveraging his experience as the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla to offer insights on key appointments.
