Elon Musk builds close ties with Donald Trump after Republican victory

Elon Musk has developed a close relationship with Donald Trump following the Republican victory on November 5. Musk's financial support and new role in Trump's administration have positioned him to influence key decisions, particularly regarding electric vehicles and cryptocurrency. Musk's integration into Trump's inner circle has surprised many observers. He has been seen attending events with Trump and even received a familial title from Trump's granddaughter, marking a shift from a transactional relationship to a more personal one. However, potential conflicts loom, particularly regarding Musk's business interests in China, which may clash with Trump's trade policies. This raises questions about the sustainability of their relationship amid Musk's ongoing family issues and past conflicts.
