Trump’s Inner Circle Cuts Ties with Elon Musk Amid Declining Influence

Elon Musk’s once-formidable presence in Washington politics has evaporated. According to POLITICO, the tech billionaire—previously a frequent topic in Trump’s online posts—has been systematically sidelined by the former president’s inner circle. Mentions of Musk in WHITE House briefings and congressional communications have ceased entirely since April.

Public polling reveals a stark decline in Musk’s popularity, particularly among independents and non-college-educated voters. His approval ratings now trail even Trump’s in key demographics. The Tesla CEO’s political capital has eroded so dramatically that Democrats weaponized his image during Wisconsin’s April Supreme Court race, portraying him as a billionaire attempting to buy influence.
