Ilon Musk actively affects the Donald Trump team, using its multimillioder status to improve US government efficiency. Musk spent about $ 150 million to support Trump during the election campaign and became one of the closest advisers to the future president. According to media reports, he participates in interviews for high positions, advises Trump in foreign policy issues, and even communicates with leaders of other countries, including Vladimir Zelensky and Recep Tayip Erdogan.
Musk also proposed to create a "government efficiency commission", aimed at reducing the costs of federal agencies. He was appointed by the co -friend of the newly created Ministry of Efficiency of Government (Doge), although his role has not yet been clearly defined because of the need for cogression.
Despite this, some members of the Republican team are concerned about the impact of a mask on Trump. In particular, its too active role in public policy is concerned about conflict of interest, as its companies receive public funding. Some team members also express doubts about whether Musk will be able to stay in Trump's shadow, whether he will not try to surpass him by influence.
In addition, Musk is actively engaged in geopolitical issues such as US relations with Iran and Ukraine, which is even more alert among his critics. For example, he recently distorted Zelensky's words about Ukraine's independence, which angered many Ukrainians and their supporters.
Despite these contradictions, some experts believe that Musk uses his approach to Trump as a business project, expecting economic benefits from political support, especially in defensive, space and automotive industries.
