At first, their relationship was friendly, sincere, and even familial. This was reported by one of the heads of the U.S. presidential administration, Susan Wiles, in a New York Post podcast. According to her, Elon Musk viewed Donald Trump as “almost a father figure.”
Wiles recalls: “The president was very kind to him, and Elon offered many ideas and opportunities. He had deep knowledge about people and technologies, while we knew little about them.”
Musk even lived as a guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. His relationship with Trump’s family members was also very close: they used to call him “Uncle Elon.” This shows that the relationship was once close and trusting.
However, over time, this connection cooled. Why this happened is not entirely clear to Wiles. “I don’t understand,” she says. “The president believed until the end that Musk was always going to be useful around us. So the split was unexpected.”
According to Wiles, Elon Musk is a person with an unusual worldview who sees the world differently. Trump appreciated this trait and benefited from his ideas. But friendship and cooperation don’t always last forever.
This incident reveals not only personal relations between two famous individuals but also how quickly connections in politics and technology can change. The closeness, later coldness, and misunderstandings between Musk and Trump remain a mystery for many observers. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
