Kara Swisher on Elon Musk ‘Wearing out’ His Welcome at W.H.: ‘Not Yet’

EXCERPT:

SWISHER: "Not yet. I think there’s a lot of disgruntlement within the Trump campaign groups that is never articulated because they all stay on the same page, even if behind the scenes they’re busily knifing each other quietly. I think they’re very frustrated by the closeness of Trump and Musk, but they can’t say anything because Trump really is all in on Musk at this point. Now, you know, I’ve heard different things when he creates problems, like talking about Social Security, there’s discomfort. But not yet because he serves as a huge heat shield for Trump. And I think that’s useful. He also has money. That's — there’s a lot of rich people, but he has a lot of money. And then he — Trump could do bad things and blame it on him, sort of, you know, he’s his Thanos kind of thing, 'I’m going to cut everything in half, essentially, disappear half of you, and then the world will be a better place and humanity is saved.' It’s a very — it’s actually a very good trope to compare it to."
