The relationship that has defined the second Trump administration is breaking down, according to those closest to the president.

The partnership of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has been central to White House operations since the administration took office in January, but with Musk now stepping away from the limelight, there are signs that the personal bond between the two has frayed.

It appears that Musk's departure from his public-facing role at DOGE has coincided with increasing frustrations between him and the president.

"He's finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him," an anonymous source close to the Republican Party told Politico. "He'd go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people's votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. … It doesn't work. It's offensive to people."
