Trump eyes breakup with Musk after particular election catastrophe

President Donald Trump is reportedly telling his closest advisers that co-President Elon Musk will quickly exit the administration, Politico reported on Wednesday—an obvious effort to distance himself from the unpopular megabillionaire whose destruction of the federal authorities hangs like an albatross round Republicans’ necks in upcoming elections.

The report comes after Musk spent $25 million on a race for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court docket, solely to finish up tanking Republicans’ possibilities. Democrats, in the meantime, ran a marketing campaign tying the conservative nominee to Musk, whose efforts to slash the federal authorities via his so-called Division of Authorities Effectivity have triggered chaos and struggling and are very unpopular. The anti-Musk message led Democrats to an sizable victory, guaranteeing that liberals will keep a majority for not less than the subsequent two years.


Wisconsin Supreme Court docket candidate Susan Crawford has her photograph taken with supporters on March 29, 2025, at a marketing campaign cease in Milwaukee.

Musk’s omnipresence within the Trump administration additionally led Republicans to place up poor showings in two congressional particular elections in Florida, the place the GOP nominees underperformed President Donald Trump’s 2024 margins by double-digits. 

Most shocking was the Republican underperformance in Florida’s 1st District, as soon as held by accused intercourse pest Matt Gaetz. Rep.-elect Jimmy Patronis received the seat by lower than 15 share factors, after Gaetz carried it by greater than 30 factors simply 5 months in the past. The district is house to a army base and has a big inhabitants of federal workers—a bunch Trump and Musk have focused since taking workplace on Jan. 20—which may account for the voter backlash.

In response to Politico’s report, Musk’s “special government employee” standing—which lets him evade ethics guidelines—was set to run out in late Could or early June. However it’s curious that the rumblings that Musk might go away sooner got here out a day after it turned abundantly clear that Musk may very well be a severe legal responsibility for the GOP in elections in Virginia and New Jersey later this 12 months, in addition to the midterm elections in 2026.

Even when Musk formally offers up his place within the Trump administration, Democrats mustn’t let Trump escape Musk’s unpopularity or the injury he’s carried out via DOGE.

At finest, Trump has accepted and accredited of the cuts Musk has pushed, and at worst, Trump is utilizing Musk as a defend to keep away from being held personally accountable for the ache the cuts are inflicting. For instance, Musk has hobbled the Social Safety Administration and made it tougher for beneficiaries to obtain their funds, slashed 1000’s of federal jobs that may curtail analysis for most cancers and different sicknesses, result in inaccurate climate experiences, and damage veterans’ well being care, amongst different issues.

Musk may even absolutely nonetheless spend in elections to assist Republicans. And he’s contemplating giving Trump’s midterm political operation a $100 million injection of money—so his needs will nonetheless be carried out by the Trump administration even after he is gone.

What’s extra, Politico’s report says that Musk would not be totally gone even when his “special government employee” standing expires. Trump administration officers anticipate Musk will nonetheless have an advisory position.

And most of all, Trump has mentioned again and again that he approves of the choices Musk has made, so he owns no matter unfavorable penalties Musk’s actions have inflicted.

“I think he’s amazing, but I also think he’s got a big company to run. So at some point he’s going to be going back,” Trump mentioned Monday. “He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him. He’s a very talented guy.”

If Democrats had been sensible, they’d run these feedback in adverts subsequent to the unfavorable penalties Musk’s cuts have had.
