Summary
Elon Musk, now deeply embedded in Donald Trump’s transition team, is navigating the cutthroat dynamics of Trump’s inner circle.
Musk has used his massive influence, including 200 million X followers and $200 million in campaign contributions, to push for “radical reform” and staff picks like Brendan Carr for FCC chair and Russell T. Vought for budget director.
However, his lack of political experience and constant presence at Mar-a-Lago has divided Trump’s aides.
Musk has publicly downplayed his influence, following the unspoken Trumpworld rule: don’t overshadow the boss.
Its like a Klingon Vessel, Elon. You gotta stab the people directly above you to rank and keep yourself from getting stabbed by those below you.
It’s almost like he’s never seen a single episode of any Trek
