Rachael Bade: Elon Musk Could Be Reaching ‘the Peak’ of His Influence on Trump, He Won’t Be Around the W.H.

KARL I mean Sarah ░░░░░░░░ really Elon Musk is ░░░░░░░░ outlier here within the ░░░░░░░░ world And Trump didn ░░░░░░░░ come out for more ░░░░░░░░ 1B visas He said ░░░░░░░░ he supports the program ░░░░░░░░ it s more or ░░░░░░░░ But Steve Stephen Miller ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ deputy chief of staff ░░░░░░░░ policy hasn t directly ░░░░░░░░ in right now but ░░░░░░░░ know exactly where he ░░░░░░░░ which is basically the ░░░░░░░░ opposite of where Elon ░░░░░░░░ stands ISGUR And we ░░░░░░░░ seen Stephen Miller play ░░░░░░░░ long game on things ░░░░░░░░ this before He s ░░░░░░░░ with Trump going out ░░░░░░░░ giving sort of vague ░░░░░░░░ about being in favor ░░░░░░░░ H 1B visas The ░░░░░░░░ s in the details ░░░░░░░░ of whether those visas ░░░░░░░░ get handed out what ░░░░░░░░ criteria will be And ░░░░░░░░ re seeing this play ░░░░░░░░ behind the scenes too ░░░░░░░░ it comes to personnel ░░░░░░░░ the incoming administration There ░░░░░░░░ clearly a divide between ░░░░░░░░ Miller who is placing ░░░░░░░░ lot of these cabinet ░░░░░░░░ sub cabinet level deputy ░░░░░░░░ types assistant attorney general ░░░░░░░░ throughout the administration Musk ░░░░░░░░ really been confined mostly ░░░░░░░░ DOGE and personnel related ░░░░░░░░ So if you want ░░░░░░░░ you know look at ░░░░░░░░ this heads Stephen Miller ░░░░░░░░ going into this with ░░░░░░░░ lot more troops behind ░░░░░░░░ BADE I have heard ░░░░░░░░ have heard people say ░░░░░░░░ ve had one person ░░░░░░░░ to me that if ░░░░░░░░ want to know where ░░░░░░░░ is going to go ░░░░░░░░ policy look at Stephen ░░░░░░░░ because 90 percent of ░░░░░░░░ time what he wants ░░░░░░░░ actually gets And I ░░░░░░░░ right now when you ░░░░░░░░ about Elon Musk he ░░░░░░░░ be potentially reaching a ░░░░░░░░ of his influence If ░░░░░░░░ think about it he ░░░░░░░░ been down at Mar ░░░░░░░░ Lago all the time ░░░░░░░░ I mean I was ░░░░░░░░ even before the election ░░░░░░░░ Trump insiders who were ░░░░░░░░ annoyed with him that ░░░░░░░░ would not leave Donald ░░░░░░░░ you know the person ░░░░░░░░ talks to last is ░░░░░░░░ the person you know ░░░░░░░░ s going to sort ░░░░░░░░ go with in terms ░░░░░░░░ his gut and where ░░░░░░░░ lands on things but ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ the White House in ░░░░░░░░ couple of weeks And ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ that room writing the ░░░░░░░░ Stephen Miller who wants ░░░░░░░░ crack down on these ░░░░░░░░ and Elon Musk won ░░░░░░░░ be around So it ░░░░░░░░ be interesting to see ░░░░░░░░ this continues.”
