White House insider admits Elon Musk no longer working as a 'heat shield' for Trump: MSNBC

Raw Story  

Joy inside the White House that billionaire Elon Musk is taking the heat for unpopular positions of the Donald Trump administration is quickly dissipating as the president's approval numbers start to tumble. According to MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough, his contacts inside the administration believe that using the deeply unpopular Musk and his DOGE team as a "heat shield' to deflect criticism of Trump may have run it's course. Speaking to his panel on Wednesday morning, the MSNBC host reported, "I talked to a source very close to the White House and the president who said they see Elon Musk's poll numbers going down and the idea that he's somehow a quote, 'heat shield,' and somebody told me last night, close to the president, that heat shield's not working anymore." Pointing to Republicans who have been on the receiving of abuse from constituents at very contentious town halls, Scarborough elaborated, "Elon Musk's numbers are going down, the president's numbers in some areas going down, so there has been the blowback, I will say, from members of Congress who see what we're seeing here in these clips."
