Susie Wiles, Donald Trump’s newly appointed chief of staff, has cemented her authority within the administration by barring Elon Musk’s attempt to secure a permanent base in the White House's West Wing.
During Trump's campaign, the Former president labelled Wiles as the “ice maiden” because of her cool composure and successful work approach. However, she quickly made it clear that not everyone would be welcomed into Trump’s inner circle—especially those “who want to work solo or be a star.”
Musk's increasing influence has sparked tension. Online chatter even referred to Musk as the “power behind President Trump” and jokingly dubbed Trump “Vice-President Trump” due to Musk’s ability to dominate the spotlight.
Sources indicate the billionaire entrepreneur actively campaigned for an office position next to the Oval Office. The Times reports that his leadership team remains at the Eisenhower Executive Office building rather than the main West Wing on White House grounds.
When asked by a reporter if Musk would be given a West Wing office, Trump unequivocally replied, “No. He’s getting an office for about 20 people that we’re hiring to make sure that these [savings] get implemented.”
Wiles has taken on the role of gatekeeper to the president, even creating barriers for Musk, whose large personality and political clout have at times overshadowed Trump. “There’s never been an administration that has had so many power plays so early,” said political analyst Frank Luntz. “She’s got the right heart and she’s got the right skills for this—if anyone’s going to succeed, it’s her.”
Sensationalizing a non news item.
By Trump’s orders, no doubt.
Good move. Musk and his ADHD need to be kept across the street.
How in the hell did Tuhin Das Mahapatra from the Hindustani Times find this out? Don’t tell me we’ve got a leaker already.
No more Batman and Robin?
Remember 4 years ago when Reince Priebus was CoS, and spent every moment working with Deep Staters to undermine his boss?
BS
The “source” of this is beyond anything believable and SMELLS of fake derp state, OK?
Likely not true whatsover— including the verbage used to describe the “worming” into the West Wing. Musk has a Cabinet level job-— named by Trump.
This crap is likely generated by the rather flippant way Ramaswamy left DOGE— because he did not want to do any heavy lifting and wanted to bask in the media attention to his constantly flowing words and no actions. Some here should see this clearly.
Another #RINO move from Wiles.

What is true is what Trump said-— Musk will have 20 hand picked staffer to complete the DOGE work, and they won’t be in the West Wing in the first. So this truly a concocted bullcrap Indian press “sourced” fake news.
Sensationalizing a non news item.“
Precisely. Trying to something out of nothing
“said political analyst Frank Luntz”
If Frank Luntz said the sun rises in the East I would look West.
Hindu stani times?
yup they have trumps inner circle on speed dial
He was NEVER going to be in the West Wing.
Only the Eisenhower Bldg.
Sources indicate....ok....
Thank you.
Folks will fall for anything.
Ask FRAUDci.
I think it’s a Gaelic name, or maybe Welsh.
“If Frank Luntz said the sun rises in the East I would look West.”
That’s about his track record. For some reason I kind of doubt that Trump has Luntz in his speed-dial.
