Since the 2024 election, there has been increasing attention on the close relationship between President-elect Donald Trump and tech giant Elon Musk. Musk publicly endorsed Trump after an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, and Trump announced that Musk would co-lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” with Vivek Ramaswamy. The two have been seen together at various events, including campaign rallies, rocket launches, and galas. Musk has been outspoken in his support of Trump, referring to him as a “martyr” and demanding the resignation of Secret Service leadership. The partnership between Trump and Musk has raised eyebrows due to Musk’s previous criticisms of the administration. Despite this, the two seem to have formed a strong alliance, with Musk playing a prominent role in Trump’s transition team. Their relationship will be closely watched as they work together to tackle government efficiency issues.
