āHe wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesnāt),ā one person in Trumpās orbit said.
Elon Muskās growing influence in Donald Trumpās orbit is reportedly irritating members of the former presidentās inner circle.
Since his efforts helped secure Trumpās reelection, Musk has been highly visible at Mar-a-Lago, taking credit for Trumpās victory and acting as if heās a āco-president.ā
Musk has joined key diplomatic calls and even attempted to broker peace with Iran.
Despite his appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, some close to Trump feel Muskās overreach and need for attention may jeopardize his position, as Trump dislikes sharing the spotlight.
Historically the Logan act has been interpreted to not include the Presiden-Elect and their incoming administration.
If the things mentioned this is the most ānormalā.
Is it possible to be part of an administration if youāve only been named as part of a department that doesnāt exist?
That specific precedent likely doesnāt exist as most new cabinet level positions arenāt created by President Elects.
