Donald Trump's inner circle fears that he could lose control of 'first buddy' Elon Musk after the billionaire publicly criticized the AI project of the President.
Tesla -founder Musk has had unprecedented access to Trump, both during his 2024 campaign as since he won the November elections, revealing that he came to the President in the Oval Office on Tuesday when he signed executive orders.
But Maga Insiders revealed to Polico that there were worries that Musk could continue to villain after he recently mocked an AI investment of $ 500 billion that Trump had praised as 'monumental' and 'huge'.
“The problem is that the president has no leverage about him and Elon gives zero f ** ks,” the Insider said.
“It is clear that he has abused the proximity of the president.”
Trump stood shoulder to shoulder with Musk's Nemesis Sam Altman from OpenAi, Larry Ellison of Oracle and Masayoshi son of Softbank earlier this week when he was expected to encourage a huge AI investment in the US $ 500 billion.
Musk was nowhere to see and later wrote on his social media platform X: 'They don't really have the money.
'Softbank has protected more than $ 10 billion. I have that on good authority. '

Musk also called Altman a 'Swindler' and a 'liar' and shared a position that encouraged Trump's election loss in 2020.
Trump was later asked about the different opinion of Musk, but took all the worries away by pointing out that Musk has one of the people in the deal. '
He insisted: “They put on the money.”
“The government does not impose anything. They set up money. They are very rich people, so I hope they do that. And I mean, Elon doesn't like one of those people. '
Altman himself also shot back on Musk and writes on X: “I realize what is great for the country is not always optimal for your companies, but in your new role I hope that you will usually put us first.”
A Republican Insider said that Trump's staff is 'furious' about the statements of Musk, given his enormous supporters and reach.
Steve Bannon, a former Top -Trump assistant who is publicly with Musk in the past, told that Polico Musk should be 'sitting' and told 'to sort it out immediately'.
It has also worsened the fears that Trump and Musk could go on their way to a monumental fall -out that drama could spell for the new government.

Musk revealed on Wednesday that he was at Trump in the Oval Office when he signed an executive order that Ross Ulbricht Gratie is declining.
Ulbricht, 40, was arrested in 2013 because the dark website he founded facilitated the sale of illegal drugs using cryptocurrency.
“I was honored to be in the Oval Office tonight when @potus signed this,” wrote the founder of Tesla on X in response to the grace.
At the beginning of 2015, Ulbricht was sentenced to two conditions in prison plus 40 years for drug trafficking, conspiracy to carry out money and computer hacking, operating under the pseudonym 'Dread Pirate Roberts'.
Trump granted an unconditional grace to Ulbricht, the maker of the notorious Dark Web Page Silk Road, in honor of the 'Libertarian Movement', while hit the 'scum' that continued.
