According to N.Y. reporter Maggie Haberman, the relationship between Trump and Elon Musk is in trouble.
Reportedly, Trump has been complaining about Musk in private.
The New York Times journalist said on the podcast “On with Kara Swisher” on Monday that ‘Musk seems more willing to irritate Trump than a lot of other people have been and less concerned about what it might mean.’
“It’s a fraught relationship and has potential for becoming even more so,” she added.
And it’s no surprise that Trump is furious over people referring to Musk as the ‘shadow president.’
In Arizona last month, Trump snapped: “No, he’s not taking the presidency…That’s not happening.”
“100 percent Trump is annoyed,” a source who worked on Trump’s re-election campaign told the outlet last month. “There’s a Chinese saying: ‘two tigers cannot live on one mountaintop.’”
Another source said: “There was likely an allure to it in the beginning but it seemed like it could go ugly…Trump is Trump. I think it’s just the way Trump is. Someone that is around that much and having influence would be a bother.”
Trouble in paradise?
