Alyssa Farah Griffin defended Donald Trump amid scrutiny of an Oval Office photo op with Elon Musk, suggesting it was misleading to imply that Musk held the power. She argued that the dynamics are strategic, with Trump delegating significant responsibilities to Musk, thus distancing himself from potential backlash over unpopular decisions down the line. Griffin's insights draw from her experience in communications and evoke a deeper understanding of political optics, particularly in a high-stakes environment like the White House.
What Trump is doing by putting Elon in charge of so much of overseeing the federal government and these massive cuts is he's giving himself distance from when they inevitably become unpopular.
This is unlike anything we've seen, down to the adorable kid with Elon Musk. But I actually see it a little different.
