Trump’s Budding Bromance with Elon Musk: Why the President-Elect Can’t Seem to Part Ways with His Billionaire Confidant.
In a surprising revelation, President-elect Donald Trump has openly admitted that he can’t seem to “get rid” of his billionaire supporter, Elon Musk, who has become an integral part of the GOP leader’s inner circle.
Musk, the visionary behind SpaceX and Tesla, has been a constant presence in Trump’s camp, even accompanying the president-elect on his recent trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with Republican leaders and President Joe Biden.
The tech tycoon’s ubiquitous presence has sparked speculation that he may have even replaced the future First Lady, Melania Trump, in a family photo taken at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate during the victory celebrations.
Musk’s growing proximity to Trump has not gone unnoticed, with reports suggesting that the billionaire has been a regular fixture at the president-elect’s Florida residence and has even been spotted dining with the Trump family. In a telling social media post, Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, referred to the flamboyant entrepreneur as her “uncle.”
This latest development comes on the heels of Trump’s announcement that Musk, alongside Indian-American biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, will co-lead a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
n his statement, the president-elect expressed his belief that this move would help his administration to “eliminate ‘Government Bureaucracy,’ which he described as ‘potentially, The Manhattan Project of our time.'”
Musk himself has voiced his enthusiasm for the new role, stating, “We finally have a mandate to delete the mountain of choking regulations that do not serve the greater good.”
The growing bond between Trump and Musk has not gone unnoticed, with reports suggesting that the president-elect’s inner circle is feeling “iced out” due to the president-elect’s close relationship with the billionaire.
