Musk: What does it have to do with me? Do you really think of me as the supreme leader?

On the 22nd local time, the elected President Trump nominated 62-year-old billionaire Scott Bessent, founder of global macro investment company Key Square Group, to serve as Secretary of the Treasury. Trump stated that Bessent has long been a staunch advocate of 'America First', and 'he will help usher in a new golden age for America.' Musk had publicly expressed support for another candidate, Howard Lutnick, for the position of Treasury Secretary, calling Bessent a 'conventional' candidate. Musk's action was interpreted as 'public pressure on Trump,' causing dissatisfaction within Trump's transition team.
