"To be clear, while I have given my opinion on some cabinet nominees, many of the selections were made without my knowledge and the decisions are 100% the president's," American billionaire Elon Musk wrote on social network X on November 20. Mr. Musk's post seemed to respond to information in the US media. Among them was an article in the New York Post (USA), claiming that Mr. Musk is a close ally of Trump and has influence on nominations for the upcoming administration. Meanwhile, NBC cited sources saying that Donald Trump's close group has begun to feel tired of Mr. Musk's influence and his constant presence next to President-elect Donald Trump. "He (Musk) is acting as if he is a 'co-president' and trying to make everyone aware of it," NBC quoted a source. "And he's certainly taking a lot of credit for the president's victory," the person added. "He's bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. He's trying to make President Trump feel like he owes him. But the president owes no one." In the X post, Musk said he "really enjoys spending time with President Trump." But he also noted that there are "a large number of loyalists" at Mar-a-Lago who have worked for Trump for years. Musk has spent a lot of time and money supporting Trump in the 2024 US presidential election. After Trump won, the billionaire often appeared at Trump's side and was even allowed to join a joint call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. President-elect Donald Trump recently announced that he will let billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy co-lead the newly established Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
