Musk's relationship with China has made Trump very wary, keeping a close eye on everything Musk does!
Axios' latest report reveals that Trump has clearly stated he will not allow Musk to have conflicts of interest with the U.S. government during his term. In other words, against the backdrop of the Sino-U.S. tariff war, Trump will closely monitor everything Musk does.
Moreover, last month, when Trump learned that Musk was going to the Pentagon to receive a briefing on fighting China, he personally ordered its cancellation. According to those around him, Trump was furious at the time and even swore, asking "what is he going there for?" This shows that this matter was not as Trump said in the beginning, so-called "fake news." If not for Trump's personal intervention, the outcome would have been completely different.
It was from then that Musk's presence in the Trump administration quickly declined. He was once the top favorite of the president and made great contributions to Trump's election victory. But now, Trump is preparing to push him aside.
After all, Musk is a businessman, not a politician. He ultimately needs to do business with China, and Trump's reciprocal tariffs are what Musk opposes most strongly, even pleading with Trump in person to "completely cancel" them. It's no surprise that Trump has developed strong wariness towards him. The question is, how much longer will it take before Musk and Trump part ways completely.
