Before Trump's cabinet was formed, news of internal strife broke out, and Musk confronted Trump's confidants.(Musk and Trump's confidant quarreled)
Recently, a US digital news website reported that Musk and Trump's personal aide Boris Epstein had a quarrel. The reason was that Musk was dissatisfied with Epstein's appointment of Trump's cabinet and pushed for his favorite candidate; Epstein was very angry, and the two had a quarrel over this.
The US media described it this way: Musk and Epstein had a fierce quarrel at Mar-a-Lago, and there were guests nearby. It was this quarrel that put the relationship between the two into tension. Epstein is Trump's personal aide and a figure in Trump's core circle. He has promoted cabinet members, including the appointment of Matt Gates as Attorney General. Musk questioned Epstein's qualifications to promote cabinet candidates and believed that Epstein had too much influence on Trump's choice. In any case, Epstein is Trump's carefully selected consultant and is considered Trump's confidant. Musk only joined Trump's team in July this year. How can he be qualified to question Epstein?
Because of this, many people in Trump's team are dissatisfied with Musk's domineering style. A while ago, NBC reported that most members of Trump's transition team were dissatisfied with Musk. They believed that Musk had exceeded his authority and wanted to be a "co-president" with Trump. Can the United States still have two presidents? Wouldn't this break the rules? Now, the news one after another has confirmed this matter. Musk really angered the members of Trump's team.
In fact, there were already clues about this. Before the Trump team was about to officially announce the candidate for Treasury Secretary, Musk took the lead in announcing his choice on his personal social media - Howard Lutnick, co-chairman of Trump's transition team and billionaire. In fact, Trump originally intended to let Scott Bessant, the founder of a hedge fund management company, take this position.
When Musk announced his choice, he also specifically @Trump on social media, saying "I hope Trump can consider the public's opinion." Musk's move is undoubtedly an open pressure on Trump, bringing the fierce struggle between different factions in Trump's team to the table. Trump also seems to be "very frustrated" about the current infighting in the team.
(Musk's haste can easily get him into trouble)
Trump's team is composed of young and tough conservatives, most of whom have no political experience, and the proportion of professional politicians and civil servants is quite low. It can be said that Trump, who was born as a businessman, also gave himself a second term and formed an extremely unprofessional cabinet. Musk's display of strength in such a small circle will only bring trouble to himself. At the same time, we can also see that the capital power of the United States can indeed influence the decision-making of all aspects of the government. From this perspective, if Trump really listens to Musk, then isn't Musk also the "deep government" in the Trump administration?#BabyMarvinf9c7您拥有您值得
