The pair became so close that some dubbed the Tesla CEO “President Musk.” But the president-elect swiftly addressed that during a speech in Arizona last month: “No, he’s not taking the presidency…That’s not happening.” President-elect Donald Trump listens to Elon Musk as he arrives to watch SpaceX’s mega rocket Starship lift off for a test flight from Starbase in November. Their relationship is ‘fraught,’ according to a New York Times reporter Asked about how Trump reacted to the “President Musk” line, Haberman said it “definitely bothers him.” She continued: “Trump’s not a wind-up toy but there certainly are very specific things that can zotz him.” But she predicted that once Trump takes office, “this is going to change a little bit.” “I don’t anticipate that Musk is going to have an office in the West Wing” or have a pass to walk freely in the White House, she said. Haberman’s report comes after anonymous sources told Mediaite that Trump was “annoyed” with Musk’s omnipresence shortly after he engaged in a so-called “civil war” with some of Trump’s prominent MAGA allies over H-1B visas.
