Tech billionaire Elon Musk was handed a major win Tuesday evening when President-elect Donald Trump announced that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO would co-lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” with Vivek Ramaswamy.
The announcement reinforces the closeness that Musk has managed to achieve with Trump, even after the election. But for some people in Trump’s orbit, Musk’s presence has felt overbearing.
Musk has been so aggressive in pushing his views about Trump’s second term that he’s stepping on the toes of Trump’s transition team and may be overstaying his welcome at Mar-a-Lago, according to two people familiar with the transition who have spent time at the Palm Beach, Florida, resort over the past week.
The sources said that Musk’s near-constant presence at Mar-a-Lago in the week since Election Day had begun to wear on people who’ve been in Trump’s inner circle longer than the tech billionaire and who see him as overstepping his role in the transition. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak publicly.
“He’s behaving as if he’s a co-president and making sure everyone knows it,” one of the people said of Musk.
“And he’s sure taking lots of credit for the president’s victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. He’s trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one,” this person added.

HAHAHAHA NBC news as source!
When I hear any Media opine on anything, the exact opposite is true.
They are worthless, their reputations are shot from their open gaslighting, and a lot of the electorate is on to them.
May they all choke on their self-imposed putridity.
I have to laugh at the conservatives who said this election would cause the MSM to dial back their rhetoric.
Makes perfect sense...not.
"Psst, did you hear..."
"Hey, guess what!"
"O M G, Becky, look at her butt!"
NBC DRIBBLE
The rats trying to stir the pot...
Typical communist strategy...
The election taught them nothing...
They will actually pick up the pace of their lies, treachery, vileness, and half-truths as they begin their reacquisition of total control over the serfs...
“open gaslighting”
What the Media has descended to is completely disgusting.
They crossed the border a long, long time ago into open Leftist advocacy.
This story seems like absolute BS to me. The devious leftists at NBC News are just trying to drive a wedge between Trump and Musk. I don’t think they are ever going to leave us alone. :-)
DIVIDE AND CONQUER. What Elon and Vivek are going to do is giving millions of Deep State pukes nightmares!!!
NBC trying to make problems..please, give me a break, according to Kai Trump, Elon has already reached uncle status
The anonymous sources are back...
“according to two people familiar with the transition who have spent time at the Palm Beach, Florida, resort over the past week”
“open gaslighting”
Exactly NBC is in full gaslighting mode.
“The sources spoke on condition of anonymity”
fake news with an agenda
BS. Susie is in charge.
“sources said” ... stopped reading right there ... NEXT! ...
