Summary

Donald Trump has privately expressed annoyance with Elon Musk, despite their recent closeness.

Musk, a major Trump donor, has reportedly irritated Trump by his frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago and his bold interactions.

Trump dislikes the “President Musk” nickname and finds Musk’s assertiveness challenging, though he values Musk’s financial contributions.

According to insiders, their relationship is “fraught” but functional, with Musk’s influence limited compared to key advisers like Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller.

    I don’t think anyone could last very long being in the same room as elon. That’s gotta get annoying real fast.

      He’s paid Trump something like $3M/day. I’ll put up with a lot of shit for $3M.

      Although, now I think about it, after I’ve collected a few hundred mil, that next $3M probably wouldn’t seem so compelling.
