But this unholy alliance, like all transactional relationships, is not exactly harmonious.
It’s not about loyalty.
It’s about power, money, and mutual benefit.
And we know that Trump and Musk’s alliance is no exception because the bright red flags are everywhere.
But their partnership didn’t last.
“[I] am departing presidential councils.
Climate change is real.
At first glance, it seemed like the Tesla CEO was taking a stand for the environment.
But there was more to it.
His electric car company thrives on the idea that electric vehicles are a key solution to climate change.
If forced to choose between alienating Musk or losing GOP loyalty, the decision is obvious.
He would fire Musk in a heartbeat and blame him for the fallout rather than taking the hit himself.
In fact, the former “Apprentice” host has done it before quite publicly, too.
This was ironic given that no unelected person has had as much public control as Musk in recent history.
Is there a power struggle going on behind the scenes?
Almost everyone agrees that a power struggle is quietly brewing between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
But the biggest sign isn’t what people are saying, it’s how the billionaires are reacting.
And judging by the president’s response, he’s not happy.
“This is an honor, a tremendous honor,” Trump said at the time (viaYouTube).
