Summary
Elon Musk is reportedly staying at a $2,000-per-night cottage at Mar-a-Lago, just steps from Donald Trump’s main residence.
Musk moved in around Election Day, watched results with Trump, and left briefly around Christmas.
Concerns in Washington are growing over Musk’s influence on Trump, as he has participated in personnel meetings, foreign leader talks, and legislative interventions.
The close relationship between the two has drawn scrutiny, with Trump publicly praising Musk. Musk’s stay, accompanied by some of his children, highlights the billionaire’s deepening ties to Trump’s inner circle.
I’m genuinely surprised at the prevailing assumption that Musk’s interests align with those of the general population.
Like if you hired actual experts to lead the DOGE thing they would be motivated to act in the interests of their employer (the government) because their future success would depend on their ability to do so.
Musk’s future success is dependent on his ability to restructure government according to his own interests exclusively.
Case in point, the current visa fiasco. His position is very clearly aligned with his own interests.
I don’t care who you voted for, this Musk thing is just bonkers.
Who on Earth is assuming that?
Everyone who isn’t frothing at the mouth, apoplectic with rage at his involvement?
