Politico: “Musk’s dizzying takeover of Washington, which has frightened Democrats and some Republicans, has renewed speculation within GOP circles about whether the mutually beneficial relationship between the world’s richest man and the president will eventually implode. Musk’s recent moves also underscore how serious he is about executing his far-reaching plans to reshape the government, flying in the face of critics who argued his so-called Department of Government Efficiency would be a do-nothing blue-ribbon commission.”
“Trump is broadly aware of and supportive of Musk’s moves to blow up USAID, according to a person close to the president who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. And although he likes the idea of Musk handling ‘the dirty work’ of slashing through the federal bureaucracy, Trump could always change his mind about the situation if there is a political price to pay down the road, the person added.”
