Summary
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.
I donāt think the dollar values in their accounts have eroded. Or where you meaning something else?
A lot of people favour less government intervention, fiscal responsibility, stronger laws, and strength in the free market. IMO at a base level this isnāt an inherently evil thing to believe/want.
Obviously, most politicians donāt represent this, but for those that do they find the current party doesnāt represent them. Eight years of Trump is probably enough to destroy many careers.
Not evil, but misguided. All of these things are euphemisms for destroying (or not having in the first place) social safety nets, letting deregulated corporations run amok and replacing the rule of law with the rule of the richest. And most people who say they want these euphemisms donāt understand that, otherwise they wouldnāt want them. Because the consequences are objectively bad for at least 90% of people in any given country.
Btw, none of these things you mention are āconservative valuesā.
