After Trump won the election, Musk regained the title of the world's richest man. Of course, not many people paid attention to this because Musk has been very high-profile in recent times, and his popularity is not much less than Trump's.

Trump has always spoiled Musk and has not shown any impatience, but has spared no effort to promote Musk.

Such interactions have caused dissatisfaction among Trump's core circle and even led to infighting.

It is reported that because Musk hangs out with Trump almost every day and behaves very strongly, those who are close to Trump feel uneasy and think that Musk has crossed the line.

Currently, Trump is still forming his own cabinet. There are still two months before he officially takes office, but internal strife has already broken out. I am afraid that the next four years will not be easy.

Trump and Musk

Musk has become a "shadow president"

According to media reports from various sources, Musk has indeed been very high-profile during this period.

He has been hanging out with Trump for a long time, and not in some private occasions, but participating in Trump's decision-making.

Musk will be present when Trump takes calls from foreign leaders and will even help Trump communicate with them.

Musk is also a guest of honor at internal meetings. He will not enter Trump's cabinet, but Musk will express his opinions when Trump nominates cabinet members.

Musk expresses his opinion on everything, trying to let others know that he has a say in everything, according to a person familiar with the matter.

This is something Trump's core circle cannot tolerate, because Musk seems to want to control Trump and has become a "shadow president." Then, those who serve Trump are equivalent to serving Musk in disguise. Those who want to rise to the top will have to act according to Musk's wishes in the future.

So they must curb this trend. This is a typical example of how it is easy to share adversity but difficult to share wealth.

Musk's new division

The infighting has begun

At the same time, this is also a typical internal fight between the old and new people in Trump's circle.

Musk is not a fool. He is not stupid at all. He must know that his actions are annoying. In this case, he is still so high-profile. This is to prove his influence on Trump. At the same time, he is also telling everyone that he has spent so much money to support Trump's campaign in order to get a return. Therefore, only by completely controlling Trump can he get the biggest return.

Trump's traditional circle obviously cannot tolerate this new force. They have their own interests, and they also want to maintain their influence on Trump, so they must fight for it. Even if the conflict becomes public, they cannot back down. Political struggles are no small matter. Although it has not reached the point of life and death, it is related to the distribution of interests. Who is willing to give up their own interests?

President-elect Trump

Trump supports Musk

Judging from the current situation, Musk's status has not been affected and he continues to interfere in Trump's decision-making. Trump continues to express his support for Musk.

This is understandable. The relationship between Trump and Musk has become so warm because the two have common interests.

Musk has now started to get involved in the cryptocurrency circle, and he has also recruited a number of cryptocurrency bigwigs to support Trump, including Trump’s specially established “Efficiency Department”, which is actually named after Dogecoin, which is supported by Musk.

This is the common goal of the two, to establish a new interest group, different from the traditional Wall Street tycoons and the military-industrial complex, but a new interest group that breaks out of the traditional financial and military fields, with Silicon Valley as its base and cryptocurrency as a means of making money.

Therefore, with such a connection, no matter how dissatisfied Trump's core circle is, it is difficult to truly shake the relationship between Trump and Musk.
