Where did Elon Musk’s business interests end and the political interests of Donald Trump begin? The trick question – they are the same.
How else do you explain the shock of US President Tesla on the South Lawn of the White House? Trump has always been a salesman, lending his name to real estate, casinos, restaurants, steaks, vitamins, men, watches, water, bicycle racing, office chairs, sneakers, vodka, coins, another perfume, another perfume, NFTS, NFTS. In this moment, you can buy Trump pickle paddles from the online Trump store or Trump Seafog and Sage Candles.
But Trump is his most famous pitcher. (And Pizza Huts, if the price is right.) Spend so much political capital on Musk? The richest person in the world? Some protests were made on Tesla dealers and tank stock prices? hurry up.
Trump is not an altruist. However, Musk did spend nearly $300 million in the 2024 U.S. election cycle, with the vast majority directly supporting Trump’s presidential campaign. He turned Twitter into X, creating an online Magatopia that is almost in comparison to Trump’s own truth-based social platform. His work in the so-called government efficiency department has caused Trump to outsource the tedious institutions of actual governance.
Trump’s literal list of Tesla’s retail price is by far the purest dynamic distillation, but it ends up not being able to end well. It’s already doing something bad for them and for us: the stock market is tanking and Musk is approaching the bottom of the rock in the poll. Republican representatives are canceling the town hall meeting instead of facing the anger of members. Trump’s own cabinet officials are also obviously tired of Musk’s level of influence.
At the same time, this impact continues to grow. When SpaceX engineers reportedly invaded the Federal Aviation Administration, they quickly suggested their Starlink technology as a solution to the agency’s technical problems. Musk’s three children towed on Thursday after a month after Musk’s inexplicably met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C., and this week Musk’s three children reached a deal with two major wireless carriers there to launch a taxiway in the country.
Even Congress, which is said to be an equal branch of the government, is invisible by Musk’s temper and tweets. In a speech Tuesday at the Georgetown University Psaros Center, House Speaker Mike Johnson called Trump and Musk two of his priorities.
“Literally, Elon has the largest platform in the world,” Johnson said. “If he continues to say that he misunderstood or misunderstand what we are doing, he can blow up the whole thing.”
The fanaticism that was initially self-service has become more turbulent and deeper than Dowjee. Trump told reporters during a message commercial on Tuesday that he would post people with violence against “family terrorists” at Tesla dealerships. Members of the House of Representatives subcommittee sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday to explore the “wave of organized attacks” against Musk and Tesla in recent weeks.
