According to American media reports, in the past 48 hours, Mar-a-Lago has been filled with two types of people: one group wants to secure a position in Trump's new government, while the other group is trying to influence Trump to hire their preferred candidates for senior positions. However, several sources have revealed that the only person who has control over the situation and exerts significant influence is Elon Musk. Since Trump won the election last week, this billionaire has appeared almost daily at the resort in Palm Beach, Florida, occasionally dining with Trump on the terrace at night and appearing with Trump's family at the golf course on Sunday.
Musk appeared at the scene of a call between Trump and leaders from multiple countries, expressing views on personnel arrangements and even clearly stating his preferences for certain positions. Sources revealed that Ukrainian President Zelensky called Trump to congratulate him the day after the election, while Musk was with Trump, and Trump put the call on speakerphone. Zelensky thanked Musk for providing communication to Ukraine through Starlink during the call. On Sunday, Musk joined the Republican Senate leadership race, supporting Senator Rick Scott. Trump requested that anyone entering the race should support the appointment of his nominees during the recess, to which Scott quickly responded. Musk is not only closely related to Trump but also has a close relationship with Trump's transition co-chair Howard Lutnick. Lutnick is the CEO of financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, responsible for leading personnel affairs during the transition. Sources said Trump is very enamored with Musk. "We must protect our geniuses; we don’t have many geniuses," Trump said in his victory speech. One source claimed that Musk has no intention of holding an official position in the Trump administration and sees no need to do so, noting that his external influence is equally immense. Both Trump and Musk have publicly proposed that he lead an efficiency committee to cut spending within the federal government. Reports indicate that a source familiar with internal discussions stated that Musk seems less interested in a full-time government position, as it would affect his role in his own company. A more reasonable approach appears to be that Musk would be appointed as a member of a top committee, where he could still access a wealth of information without being bound by government ethics rules. Government ethics rules require public officials to divest assets or place them in a blind trust to avoid conflicts of interest. According to Federal Election Commission documents, as of mid-October, Musk had donated nearly $119 million to a political action committee established to support Trump. He also appeared with Trump at rallies and conducted friendly interviews with Trump on his social media platform X. Musk's bet on Trump almost immediately paid off. The day after the election, investors pushed Tesla's stock price up nearly 15%. This increased the value of Musk's 411 million shares by over $15 billion, reaching the highest level of Tesla's overall stock price in two years.#BabyMarvinf9c7正在牛市赛道起点
