Trump and Musk's relationship faces challenges over climate and trade issues
Elon Musk has been a prominent supporter of President-elect Donald Trump since the election. At a recent event, Trump praised Musk's contributions, but their relationship may face challenges due to differing views on key issues. Musk's commitment to climate change contrasts sharply with Trump's skepticism. Musk previously resigned from Trump's advisory councils over climate policies and has invested heavily in sustainable energy, while Trump favors fossil fuels and has a history of opposing climate agreements. Tensions may also arise over trade with China, energy policies, and Musk's role in government efficiency initiatives. Musk's relationships with other tech leaders could complicate his position in Trump's administration, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
