Musk even exposed Trump's supporters. Advisors consider the billionaire as ballast

Elon Musk, who again tried to interfere in matters lying at ministers, even exposed the supporters of the US President Donald Trump, and his advisers consider the billionaire as an embarrassing ballast for administration – informs “Washington Post” on Thursday.

“Elon Musk had a government in hand. And then it broke,” says the title of the article in the Washington diary, who described the problems of administration with the troublesome adviser of Trump, cites anonymous representatives of administration.

Billionaire and head of the government performance department (DOGE), again tried to introduce changes in the agency behind the government; He led to the fact that IRS, an American tax authorities, was headed by a middle -level employee of this agency. But IRS is subject to Scott Bessent, the finance minister, who got into a loud quarrel with Musk. The row, all the worse because Bessent has already torpedoed the attempt to Doge towards the institutions subordinate to him, took place in the White House “within the ear of the president's ear” – say the interlocutors “WP”.

Bessent won this “screaming duel” – reports the daily – and after only three days of office installed by Musk Irs, IRS had to give up his position. The offended billionaire removed the minister from the list of his contacts on the X. platform.

Musk's activity as an advisor to Trump and the head of Doge “is full of controversy”; During meetings or in entries at X billionaire, he demanded or disavowed the members of the office, including the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Minister of Transport Sean Duffy, or the President's adviser for economics for economics Peter Navarro – reminds the daily. He wrote about the latter even after another scys that he was “stupid as a brick bag”. About others – that they are incompetent or lie.

Unplanned statements and “sudden edicts” was alienated by the President's staff, who often had to head a lot to explain his decisions – adds “WP”.

The popularity of the owner of Tesla among voters has also decreased, and the polls indicate that most of them have an adverse opinion about a muscle and believe that it has too much influence on the government.

Fox News, a television that Trump usually watches, as well as other conservative media warns that Musk has become a “political ballast” for the administration, especially since he supported the candidates for the State Supreme Court in Wisconsin, they lost their elections, despite the considerable money he put on their election campaign.

Tesla has become the target of attacks in Europe and the United States since Musk became a close advisor to Trump and headed the Doge; Attacks on Tesla cars sometimes turned into vandalism, and the company itself announced on Tuesday that its income in the first quarter of this year fell by 71 percent. – reminds “WP”. In an interview with investors, Musk announced on Tuesday, unjustly – as the daily emphasizes – that protests against Tesla are sponsored by groups, which are the beneficiaries of “prodigal generosity”.

Musk's unconventional behavior and statements meant that his loud quarrel with Bessent “caused only a moderate shock in the White House”, although the screams of high -ranking officials in the presence of the president are still considered a serious failure to do so. “It's just Elon, who behaved like Elon,” the administration representative told the diary.
