Is the Donald Trump-Elon Musk bromance already hitting a roadblock?

Firstpost  

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, seems to have had a blazing row with Boris Epshteyn, one of President-elect Donald Trump’s top advisers over his influence over the Cabinet picks. Some Trump insiders are accusing Elon Musk of trying to act as ‘co-president.’ Image Credit: AFP Musk is famed for his manic working habits and self-described “hardcore” style, running his companies as personal fiefdoms in which his authority is rarely challenged. Reuters An advocate for imposing wide-ranging tariffs, Lutnick told CNBC in September that “tariffs are an amazing tool for the president to use—we need to protect the American worker.” On Saturday, Musk, who has been an influential voice at Trump’s side during the transition, came out in favor of Lutnick on his social media site X. “He wants to be seen as having say in everything.” The source said Musk doesn’t get that the key to hanging around Trump is to not upstage him in any way.
