Trump World Is Slamming the Door on Elon Musk: ‘People Hate Him’

Republicans—including the president—have stopped talking about the Tesla CEO’s work at the Department of Government Efficiency.

After more than two months of hyping Elon Musk and his work at the Department of Government Efficiency, President Donald Trump and his supporters have gone awfully quiet on the world’s richest man.

While Musk was once a fixture at the White House and featured heavily in the president’s social media posts and fundraising emails, the Tesla CEO has hardly been mentioned since early April, Politico reported.

“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” an anonymous GOP operative 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.”
