[Global Times report, reporter Li Sa] According to the New York Post in the United States, on the 9th, Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff, said in an interview that the relationship between President Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk has broken down "very troublesome," but it is ultimately a "small issue" for this administration.

The New York Post reported that in a program aired on Wednesday, Wiles believed that the relationship between Trump and Musk was "very problematic." "I don't understand, I don't know." When asked why Trump and Musk had "fallen out," Wiles replied, "I enjoyed working with Elon. I think he's a very charming person, and his way of looking at the world is unique. I think the president probably thinks the same. (He) is just a bit different from ordinary people, but the outcome was obviously not good."

Wiles added that Musk "may be the smartest person in the world," and stated that Musk provided advice in many areas such as business and organization, "I think these were very important, especially during the transition period." In addition, she explicitly denied that Musk's hostility was due to jealousy, because "that doesn't sound like Elon."

Recently, Musk and Trump have had differences over the "big and beautiful" tax and spending bill. After Musk announced the establishment of the "American Party" on social media on the 5th, a netizen asked Musk what caused him to "turn from love to hatred" towards Trump, and Musk replied, "Trump expanded the $2 trillion fiscal deficit, which was already at a crazy level during the Biden era, to $2.5 trillion, which will make the country go bankrupt."

Wiles is the first woman to serve as the White House Chief of Staff, with rich political experience, and is one of the longest-serving advisors to Trump. She served as Trump's campaign manager during the 2024 presidential election. When Trump first ran for president in 2016, Wiles helped him win Florida. After Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, Wiles became the de facto chief of staff for Trump.
