According to a report by TASS, American billionaire Elon Musk responded on the 20th local time to a report by the New York Post. The report revealed the 'close relationship' between the elected President Trump and Musk, stating that the latter influenced Trump's decisions on new cabinet members. In response to the report, Musk stated that although he would offer opinions on some cabinet nominees, 'the decision is 100% made by the president.' TASS commented that this is Musk's denial of directly influencing Trump's cabinet member decisions.
On November 19 local time, SpaceX's 'Starship' superheavy rocket conducted its sixth launch, with Trump and SpaceX CEO Musk present at the launch site. Source: foreign media 'I really enjoy the time spent with President Trump.' In the comments section of the New York Post's social media X account regarding the aforementioned report, Musk replied, stating, 'To be clear, although I offered my opinions on some cabinet nominees, many decisions were made without my knowledge, and the decision is 100% made by the president.'
‘In Trump's inner circle, 'there isn't even another person' who can be compared to Elon Musk,' said the New York Post in an 'exclusive report' earlier on the 20th. The media cited sources saying that Musk is now Trump's 'closest confidant,' and the selection of the new U.S. cabinet is influenced by Musk. The report added that although the final decision rests with Trump, the elected president greatly enjoys Musk's 'companionship and insight' during the preparation of the new cabinet.
On the other hand, the New York Post mentioned in its report that some believe Trump's relationship with Musk has become too close. Additionally, some sources acknowledged that Musk's 'ubiquity' has caused rifts at Mar-a-Lago. After winning the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Trump recently nominated several key positions for his cabinet. Fox News host Peter Hegseth was nominated for Secretary of Defense; Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio was nominated for Secretary of State; former Special Forces member and Congressman Mike Waltz was nominated for Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs; and Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. became a candidate for Secretary of Health and Human Services.#BabyMarvinf9c7值得拥🈶
