It's a very good article indeed Casdon. Asks how "official" Musks interventions are, and also later on looks at European reactions
"But the transatlantic fury might soon become a problem for Trump as well.
Despite his transactional instincts and desire to intimidate other leaders, Trump may need the help of American allies one day, and Muskās antics are making it far harder for them to accommodate an incoming American president who is already deeply unpopular in many of their nations."
"Muskās jabs might also cause problems stateside. They already look like a headache for more conventional US foreign policy officials, including Marco Rubio, the Florida senator Trump has picked to serve as secretary of state, and Florida Rep. Michael Waltz, his pick for national security adviser.
āI think itās going to get very confusing very quickly. I donāt envy the career diplomats at the State Department, who are certainly going to have their hands full trying to figure out whose agenda theyāre carrying out,ā said Gorman.
Apparent conflicts between US policy and Muskās business interests pose another complication. He has already sat in on calls between Trump and world leaders like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose forces use Muskās Starlink internet system to support their war against Russia.
Muskās massive commercial exposure in China might also weigh heavily on Trumpās approach and may clash with the hawkish instincts of Waltz and Rubio, who are set to be part of the most anti-Beijing Cabinet in modern American history."
