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.”
I agree 100%
I don’t think she is a RINO at all. Why do you think that?
Good, me thinks he’s trying to get a little too cozy.

Just noticed that Tuhin Das Mahapatra “venerates Marx”.. (and he is only 16yo)
Good question!
People in the west wing work out of closets space is at such a premium. Musk does not need the limelight either. Let him buy his own.
Yeah, this is bullshit…. neither Trump nor Musk has anything to prove.
What church service?
Susie Wales could not do anything about that.
Wyles. Auto correct, ugh.
Could be valid more or less, or...could be largely lefty pleasing click bait.
Obviously this is Trump’s decision.
Yes, this. I do not think the CoS made the decision on where Musk would set up. The big guy made the decision to put him across the street.
