Trump's entourage notes that Musk seeks to impose his views and even tries to make Trump feel indebted for supporting the campaign.
Elon Musk is not only actively involved in political processes, but also expresses his ideas through social media, offering a number of policy solutions, including immigration and government spending.

Although Trump has repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Musk for his support and role in the campaign, even joking that he “can't get rid of” the billionaire, some advisers believe that his presence on the team could be a problem. Musk has already spent more than $150 million in support of Republicans, organizing numerous rallies and using his X platform to promote political ideas, putting him at the center of US political life.
