Trump World Is Slamming the Door on Elon Musk: ‘People Hate Him’

While Musk was once a fixture at the White House and featured heavily in the president’s social media posts and fundraising emails, the Tesla CEO has hardly been mentioned since early April, Politico reported.

The Truth Social blackout started the same day Musk suffered a humiliating loss in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race, with his preferred candidate Brad Schimel losing by 10 points despite Musk pouring a record $21 million into a normally low-profile and non-partisan judicial race.

“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” an anonymous GOP operative told Politico. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. ... It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”

Other factors—including other administration policies such as tariffs drawing some of the attention away from DOGE, and Musk himself taking a step back—could also help explain why Musk has faded into the background.

1. His cronies and moles are embedded in the government

3. 100% true. What did not sell (and will not sell) is Musk as a "daily high-profile media figure."

Wisconsin played into it. And the other thing is that Republicans like the carnage but don't like the guy behind it.

So no, I don't believe he's "gone" anywhere.

I just don't think that he and his little nose-picking brat are going to be in the Oval Office every time Trump has a "press opportunity."

Republicans are a cowardly lot. Some of them said, anonymously, things like "He thinks he's funny and he's not. He does his clown show and then sits there and acts hurt when no one laughs."

Problem is, he interferes with Republicans' ability to do truly rotten shit under the radar.

"Look! It's ELON! He's HIGH, and he's BOUNCING, and OH! He has a CHEESE HAT! I'll bet NO ONE in Wisconsin has EVER seen one of those!"

He wanted Trump-level adoration and that just wasn't in the cards, because he's a drug-abusing, smug, cruel, narcissistic, delusional scumbag.

And he lies as easily as Trump. The "DOGE" debacle was NEVER ABOUT "identifying and eliminating wasteful government spending." He got what he went in for. He'll continue to be an ongoing dirty trickster but if Trump has his way, it won't happen with full media coverage while Musk is standing next to him.

2. That's what they'd like you to think

He still owns them. He has our data now and he will keep bribing republicans to get friendly policies in place.

4. If they truly were slamming the door then they would revoke all of his contracts and pull all of his people.

5. Its not a cheese hat, its a CHEESE HEAD, idiot.

6. Cool - always mention Musk and Trump together - or just Musk. That is their weak underbelly. Make them own him.

And of course keep up the pressure at the Tesla Takedowns! Every Saturday at a showroom near you. Dont let him scurry away like the mangy rat that he is.

7. Too bad, altho his malodor lingers. Was kinda hoping he'd stick around to

perform a Wisconsin-style revival at The Villages after retirees' income taxes increase.
