Less than a week after the election results were announced, Elon Musk, a centibillionaire and one of former president Donald Trump’s biggest backers, is already taking an active role in shaping the government under a second Trump administration. Throughout the campaign, Musk used his platform and celebrity status to promote Trump’s campaign and push his talking points. Now, it seems that Musk has reached “uncle” status in the Trump family, appearing in a family photo and refusing to leave. It is clear that Musk will play a significant role in the upcoming administration, as evidenced by his posts on social media and his interactions with Trump. He has also been involved in staffing decisions, releasing a poll for the new Senate majority leader and weighing in on Trump’s pick for UN Ambassador. It appears that Musk is looking to install his own loyalists and backers into the government, further solidifying his influence in shaping the future of the country.
