Elon Musk, who contributed over $275 million to Trump's 2024 campaign, has been a prominent figure in the president-elect's transition efforts.
Musk has been staying near Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, participating in calls with foreign leaders and attending transition team meetings.
Trump has privately expressed frustration with Musk's constant presence, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.
Musk has been named co-director of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with cutting wasteful government spending and restructuring federal agencies.
