Since Elon Musk’s departure from the White House, the president has withdrawn the tech CEO’s nominee for NASA and failed to appoint any of his other preferred candidates to roles.
Musk has also lost influence over Treasury and Defense, with his enemies in the administration spreading misinformation about him to the president.
It seems Musk’s reputation is diminishing, with his sizable political donations no longer carrying the influence they once did and him now reduced to pleading with followers to lobby against bills he disagrees with.
Furthermore, his support for Trump may put him at odds with shareholders, with many Silicon Valley investors increasingly concerned about the company’s public reputation.
