Elon Musk spent millions on Donald Trump’s campaign, which may be why Trump is keeping him around.
However, not everyone who wants to be close to Donald has the same deep pockets as Musk.
There are others likeLaura Loomer, the far-right activist and conspiracy theorist who had a rumored relationship with Donald.

And we can’t help but think that Trump is probably sitting back and loving it all.
To which Muskreplied, “Loomer is trolling for attention.
Then Loomer’s X account lost its verified blue check mark.

Her account was also apparently temporarily blocked for violating X rules.
The timing does seem to coincide with when she started calling out Musk.
Was it a direct cause and effect or just happenstance?

Loomer certainly believes it was nefarious.
So, Musk’s position seems to put him at odds with Trump.
And it won’t go very far in his claims that Musk isn’t actually in control.
Loomer wasn’t happy with the whole exchange; she posted: “This is America.
We don’t have a monarchy.
This is outrageous.”
And I’m safe, you know why?
He can’t be he wasn’t born in this country” (viaCNN).
He likes people fighting.
…There aren’t just rivalries, there are shifting rivalries" (viaCBS News).
