Trump's chief of staff worried about 'shadow president' Musk leading him 'by the nose': analysis

^{Published on 2024-12-24 15:21:26 - MSN}

When House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) was making a last-minute effort to get a spending bill passed and avoid a federal government shutdown, billionaire Elon Musk threatened primary challenges against any GOP lawmakers who voted for a bill he didn't like.

The article from MSN discusses concerns raised by former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly about Elon Musk's influence over former President Donald Trump. Kelly, in an interview, expressed worries that Musk could be leading Trump "by the nose," suggesting that Musk's significant influence might be guiding Trump's decisions and actions. This concern stems from Musk's growing political clout, especially after his acquisition of Twitter (now known as X Corp), where he has reinstated Trump's account and made other controversial decisions. The analysis delves into the potential implications of this dynamic, highlighting how Musk's business interests and his outspoken political views could shape Trump's future political strategies, particularly as Trump considers another run for the presidency. The piece also touches on the broader implications of tech moguls like Musk wielding such power in political spheres, potentially affecting policy, public opinion, and governance.
