Now, Little Donald has more influence than Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
When Musk acquired X that year, few people could have imagined that it would have such a big impact on the usa election. X has attracted many young male voters for Trump, and made a significant contribution.
And now Musk has turned his attention to the cable television MSNBC. After being informed that MSNBC would be spun off into an independent company, he immediately started to "inquire". If this deal can really succeed, will this liberal media, known for opposing Trump, become the second X?
In short, this news has shocked the broadcasting - tv industry in the usa. And from the picture, it can be seen that it was not Musk who proposed this idea, but another heavyweight figure who asked him questions, Trump's eldest son, Donald Jr.
Currently, Donald Jr. is emulating his sister Ivanka's key role in Trump's first term and has become one of the core members of the Trump family. After Trump won the election, Donald Jr. is assisting in the formation of the most controversial cabinet team in usa history. From supporting Senator Pence to be Trump's running mate in the election to stopping former Secretary of State Pompeo from entering the cabinet, Donald Jr. has been playing a decisive role.
Media reports from insiders reveal that Donald Jr. is arranging some loyal supporters in important cabinet positions, even though their qualifications are not more outstanding than other candidates.
In addition to loyalty, Donald Jr. also tends to select candidates who are anti-establishment, including those who support protectionist economic policies, reducing military intervention and overseas assistance.
Not all candidates recommended by Donald Jr. have successfully obtained positions. For example, he once strongly recommended his friend and former Ambassador to Germany, Ric Grenell, for Secretary of State, but ultimately Trump chose Marco Rubio.
However, according to a senior official in the Trump administration, this does not mean that Donald's role in Trump's inner circle has weakened at all:
The informal team is the most important... Although this may change after Trump settles in Washington, for now Donald is more influential than Marco Rubio.
A European official reviewing the high-frequency 'personnel changes' during Trump's first term speculated that Rubio may not last long in the position of Secretary of State:
Eight months... and then he will be replaced.
