Billionaire Elon Musk is reportedly a constant presence at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, joining him for meals and golf games. Sources claim Musk has been involved in calls with world leaders and has expressed preferences for staff positions.
Musk, who supported Trump during the campaign, has donated millions to Republicans. He has also been seen in family photos with the Trumps.
Trump insiders are reportedly surprised and concerned by Musk’s influence. Tech journalist Kara Swisher believes Musk is seeking to wield power through Trump.
