President Donald Trump was extremely disappointed when he got to know that Elon Musk would be briefed on key plans for a possible war with China at the Pentagon, Wall Street Journal reported taking a look again at Elon Musk‘s ‘ shock-and-awe’ months in the White House as his term as the specific government employee is coming to an end.
Publicly, Trump called it false news that Elon Musk may be briefed about any key plan and set out a lengthy Truth Social post on it. ” Personally, he called the probable lecture a conflict of interest given Tesla’s broad operations in China and was frustrated he didn’t hear about it in advance”, the statement said. On Truth Social, Trump, however, mocked the internet on the same place that the media thought merely because Elon Musk has business in China, he would show China about whatever he gets to know from the Pentagon.
Susie Wiles was put in charge to strengthen relationships between Musk and authorities
Elon Musk’s White House tenure was strife-torn as firms have been up in arms against him. The Journal report said that the president tried to smooth over the holes. ” After an early March government meeting, where many cabinet secretaries aired grievances about Musk, the president pulled off chief of staff Susie Wiles and told her to strengthen relations between the agencies and the man he empowered to reduce them”, the report said.
” Wiles needed to manage Musk, Trump said, making it clear that he backed Musk’s government-cutting zeal but sympathized with complaints from his cabinet. Wiles now has two long meetings a week with Musk, people briefed on the meetings said”.
What are Trump’s true feelings about Musk?
If there is such a difference between Trump’s public and private feelings about Elon Musk, what are his true feelings about the Tesla CEO? Quoting insiders, the report said Trump sees Musk as a business leader who “experienced the pain associated with going from being beloved to ridiculed”. Trump told others he finds Musk funny and he appreciated his wealth and the interest other world leaders take in Musk.
Trump also trusts Musk with projects that he is most interested in, Journal said. ” He made Musk a key go-between with Boeing over its delayed new model of Air Force One, according to people familiar with the matter, with Musk demanding to speak to the planemaker’s engineers about the progress”.
