'And so it begins': Onlookers pounce as Trump reportedly 'kicks Elon out' of the West Wing - Raw Story The richest man in the world is reportedly being "frozen out" of the West Wing, and onlookers had a range of responses. The British newspaper the Sunday Times recently reported that President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, "has denied the billionaire touted as ‘the real vice-president’ a permanent office in the heart of the White House." "The 'ice maiden' at the heart of the Trump administration has won her first big battle this week — denying Elon Musk a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House. Susie Wiles, a veteran Florida political fixer and the first female chief of staff, earned her nickname from President Trump for the calm professionalism she brought to his election campaign," the outlet reported Friday. "Observers call her job 'the toughest in America': she must bring order to Trump’s White House operation, control access to the president to keep him focused, manage senior staff and liaise with Congress to advance his legislative agenda."
Let's be honest though; for Elmo, the party will last quite a bit longer. His government contracts will exceed by multiples his $280 million presidential election purchase. (Plus, he and the Republican party got to figure out some new boundaries, norms and laws that the public and courts will allow to be broken without a fight. I mean, who knew you could set up paying petitions and raffles to generate voter turnout for a party you are funding. It's the new American way.)
So those who chose that Musk/Trump would break up within the first year win the prize. Now Musk is out there saying Trump would have lost the election without him. That strikes at the core of Trump's fragile ego. You knew it was going to happen. Sociopaths like Trump and Musk aren't able to maintain longterm relationships unless the other person never disagrees with them and never challenges them. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/05/us/trump-news-travel-ban President Trump on Thursday defended the domestic policy bill he is trying to push through Congress, which has come under fierce criticism from Elon Musk. Mr. Trump said he was “disappointed in Elon” for publicly opposing it. Mr. Musk responded in real time on social media, accusing Mr. Trump of ingratitude and saying, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.”
Can we get a ruling from the "weaponization of government" experts if threatening to terminate all government contracts for the crime of "accurately pointing out that the spending bill will increase the deficit" qualifies?
