Journalist Jonathan Martin predicts that President Trump could soon distance himself from Elon Musk due to the billionaire's declining popularity and questionable management style. Polling data reveals that a significant percentage of Americans disapprove of Musk's role in the government, particularly regarding his aggressive cost-cutting measures and access granted to sensitive databases. Martin emphasizes that Trump cares about public perception, noting that his approval ratings are far better than Musk's, foreshadowing a potential rift as Trump grows weary of Musk's antics.
[Musk's] trying to do what he did for Tesla, for SpaceX, obviously for Twitter, and trying to apply that to the federal government. It's a very different scenario here and it's not going to go as well.
If you look at the polling data so far, something that Trump cares deeply about, Trump's numbers are a lot better than Elon Musk's.
Trump doesn't like somebody who's that unpopular around him. And I think once Trump realizes the depth of Elon's unpopularity, whether it's this summer or this fall, I think his days are gonna be numbered.
