PRESIDENT-ELECT Donald Trump is reportedly becoming fed up with his new pal Elon Musk with the tech mogul being too "clingy".
Musk has spent the past few days going on fiery online tirades against the British government with UK politicians now even said to be urging Trump to ditch the Tesla chief.
Billionaire Musk has been Trump's biggest fan over the past few months and even helped propel him into the White House.
The pair have been inseparable since the Republicans swept to a landslide election win in November.
Musk reportedly joined the future president on an important phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and has spent many nights at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
He has even been renting a $2,000-a-night Banyan Cottage near to the private club, the New York Times reported last week.
The affectionate relationship has even seen Musk gifted a role in Trump's future top team as his "energy Czar".
This could see the owner of X actually responsible for parts of the government and allowed to dictate certain policies if he can persuade Trump to agree.
But is has now been over two months since Musk pumped millions in to help with Trump's campaign and the world's richest man is still hanging around.
NYT journalist and self-proclaimed “Trump whisperer” Maggie Haberman has revealed that despite the pair still being close buddies Trump's patience may be wearing thin.
She claimed on a podcast: “Trump does complain a bit to people about how Musk is around a lot.
"He really parked himself in Trump’s face.”
Trump is said to be growing tired of Musk is due to the way in which he views himself.
The billionaire businessman has leaned heavily into his role as the best pal of the incoming president with Democrats labelling him "President Musk".

Most likely this article was placed by a Biden or Stammer Operative.
Sounds to me like someone is trying to cause some trouble.
I saw this coming.
Stuck Farmer.
Divide and conquer.
Seen lib media trying to push this as X is killing their control over the flow of information/disinformation.
Wish fulfillment.
Musk needs stuff to do. People with Aspergers tend to be all-cinsuming in their natures. Trump could use that by giving him things to do.
Saw what coming? Trump tiring of Musk, or the Leftist media lying to sow discord?
ELSON is in the safest place he can be right now. Don’t expect him to go anywhere soon.
LOL! A Slimes journo has all the info........
And they’ll get the narrative unless Trump nips it in the bud.
Baloney
The Left’s misinformation ,LOL
Really? Think this source is credible? An Alt Left podcaster and NY Times writer thinks she know what is going on inside Team Trump?
The level of stupid in this article should be physically painful to the authors
Huh??? Who is Elson?
Does anyone think Maggie Haberman has access to anyone at all in Trump’s inner circle? The only whispering she is doing is to herself as she stirs her witches cauldron each day, while cackling “Trump broke me. What am I to do?!”.
ha ha, in psychology, splitting. Need that friction.
I saw that Trump would eventually want to distance himself from Musk, just because of the men are. Trump is a detached personality, while Musk is an obsessed personality.
Musk is like Kramer, from Seinfeld. He will show up at any time and all times to want to discuss his ideas. It is the of somebody with Aspergers to not know healthy borders. It is often why they are friendless, because the one person who reaches out to them becomes their obsession.
I saw a hunt of this at the rally they were both at when Musk jumped in the air and you could see on Trump’s face a WTH expression.
I just hope that they can keep it together until the inauguration.
Musk is indeed being a bit of an idiot (visa’s) and getting involved in overseas politics at a time he should focus on helping Trump get off to a great start. But, “dance with the one who brung ya”. As I’ve said on the visa threads, Trump might not have won without Musk’s financial, intellectual, and psychological support. I’m going to give him some leeway and hope he becomes a bit more controlled and disciplined.
