Trump World’s Shifting Loyalty: From Musk Embrace to Quiet Resentment
Following over two months of intense collaboration, President Trump and his administration have significantly reduced their public association with Elon Musk. This shift coincides with Musk’s unsuccessful and expensive involvement in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race and declining approval ratings. While Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative initially promised substantial savings, the actual amount realized is far less than projected, and his contributions have diminished. Despite this, Musk maintains a relationship with Trump, attending key events such as a recent Cabinet meeting and international trips.
