In a recent development, it has been observed that Elon Musk's influence with President-elect Donald Trump and the inner circles of Mar-a-Lago has been on the rise. Republican lawmakers have been actively seeking out the billionaire X owner in an attempt to enhance their relationship with the incoming administration.
Sources familiar with the matter have revealed that some lawmakers have been engaging with Musk on various fronts, including discussions related to the Senate GOP leadership election and other key issues that hold significance for Trump's agenda.
Musk, in turn, has been proactive in reaching out to Trump's allies and lawmakers, indicating a growing level of interaction between the tech mogul and the political sphere.
This development underscores the rapidly evolving landscape that GOP lawmakers find themselves in, particularly as they gear up for the Senate Republicans' leadership election scheduled for Wednesday. The election process is set to be conducted in private, with votes being cast via a secret ballot to ensure anonymity for the senators.
Elon Musk has already expressed his support for Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott in the leadership race. However, this endorsement has not deterred other senators from seeking Musk's perspective and potentially influencing the outcome of the election.
