Trump Allies Have Their Knives Out For Elon Musk As Chaos Reigns

Elon Musk has apparently worn out his welcome with his constant presence around Donald Trump, including taking part in transition meetings that he has no business being a part of. Multiple Trump allies spoke to Politico this week to express their disdain for Musk, calling him a constant distraction and saying that he has gotten “too big for his britches.” But Trump isn’t dumping him because he’s everything Trump wants to be, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Elon Musk has now become a staple at Mar-a-Lago, and pretty much wherever Donald Trump goes, Elon Musk is following behind him like a beloved golden retriever. But this, of course, is now causing Trump's allies, his staffers, and everybody around him, with the exception of his wife, who seems to love Elon Musk being around according to reports. It's a little weird. Maybe keep an eye on that. But either way, everybody that's not named Melania seems to despise Elon Musk. And they have started talking to the press anonymously, of course, and they've got the knives out for Elon. And it started this week when they spoke to Politico on Tuesday, because they were super off that Elon Musk was planning on going to Washington DC with Donald Trump as he met with House Republicans, and then met with President Biden about the whole transition. You know, these allies, these aides were like, that's, that's not even legal.

But this guy says he is gonna do it, and like he's, he's overstepping his bounds. We don't like this. And then of course, Politico reported the bigger picture, however, 'cause Musk didn't end up going. But the bigger picture, however, is how Musk is starting to wear out his welcome with some in Trump's orbit, after initially making a huge splash with the endorsement made just months after, moments after the uh, July attempt on Trump's life. Some insiders now say he's become almost a comical distraction hanging around Mar-a-Lago sliding into high level transition meetings and giving unsolicited feedback on Trump's personnel decisions. Elon is getting a little big for his britches. One insider tells playbook.

Now, the problem is these AIDS Allies, staffers, whoever the hell they are, they can't do anything about this because as CNN reported Donald Trump app, and this is according to sources close to Donald Trump as well, Trump is enamored with Elon Musk. He loves the guy. He loves what he does, he loves that. Like he's the crazy distracting fool because it almost makes Donald Trump look normal, right? When you've got a guy like Elon Musk up on stage jumping like a crazy person, suddenly the crazy things you say don't appear as crazy by contrast, right? It's like, yeah, this guy's jumbling his words. But who is this, uh, freak show over here, like doing aerobics in the background? That's even weirder. So Elon Musk takes a lot of heat off Donald Trump because he is the most immature, and honestly, probably the weirdest person on the planet. But there's something else. Elon

Musk love him or hate him. You cannot deny that the guy has been successful with making a lot of money, and that's what Trump wants, right? Trump's got the power, but he's not the richest man in the world like Elon Musk is. Elon Musk could buy and sell Donald Trump 25 times over. That's how much more money Elon Musk has than what Donald Trump reports to have. Trump says he has 10 billion real reports show that he's maybe got two to three, and most of it's tied up in non-liquid assets anyway, so he really only has a few hundred million dollars in cash. However, he actually owes that to the state of New York. So he technically has no money other than his real estate holdings. So Elon Musk probably could buy and sell Donald Trump 50 to 70 times over with the amount of money that he has, over $240 billion.
