Overview

• Philip Low—who fired Musk from NeuroVigil’s advisory board in 2021—told POLITICO that Musk will do everything to damage Trump.
• Despite public gestures of amity following Musk’s departure from the Department of Government Efficiency, Low describes the truce as purely cosmetic.
• Musk’s recent attacks on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and Epstein-related accusations are seen as indicators of lingering hostility.
• Low warns Musk may channel campaign contributions and legislative connections to woo Congress or support right-wing judicial candidates against Trump’s interests.
• Musk’s history of holding grudges—in boardroom disputes and political alliances—fuels concerns over an impending political vendetta.
