Elon Musk has emerged as a significant figure at Mar-a-Lago in the wake of Donald Trump's election victory. The billionaire has been a frequent presence at the club, engaging with the president-elect and his family. Musk's influence extends beyond mere presence, as he has reportedly been involved in discussions regarding staffing decisions and has expressed preferences for certain roles.
Notably, Musk has been present during phone calls between Trump and various world leaders, further solidifying his role as a key advisor. His involvement in endorsing political figures, such as Florida Sen. Rick Scott, underscores his growing influence in political circles.
While Musk is not slated to formally join the Trump administration, his close relationship with transition co-chair Howard Lutnick suggests that he is actively engaged in shaping the incoming administration's personnel decisions. One source even suggests that Musk's impact from the outside may be just as significant as if he were to hold an official position.
