Politico: Five Times Elon Musk ‘Crossed the Line’ – Did What No Other Trump Advisor Could

President Trump is known for picking advisors who strictly follow his orders, but Elon Musk appears to be the exception. Despite being openly critical of several aspects of Trump’s political agenda, Musk has managed to maintain a positive relationship with the former president. According to Politico, Musk has consistently challenged Trump publicly, both before and after joining the White House advisory team. Democrats have even tried to exploit this dynamic by referring to Musk as “President Elon” in an attempt to provoke Trump, who famously dislikes sharing the spotlight. Surprisingly, despite Musk’s boldness, Trump has remained satisfied with him, even praising him during cabinet meetings. For instance, Musk criticized Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro, calling him “stupid” and mocking him with a new nickname, “Peter Retard.” He also voiced concerns over NASA budget cuts and publicly interfered in Republican leadership races, including European elections. While White House officials dismissed Musk’s public spats as mere noise, his influence remains significant.
