The controversy is growing as Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who was tapped as the head of Trump's second "Government Efficiency Department," has stepped in the overall state of affairs by increasing his influence.

Amid growing discontent among Trump's aides, critics have even criticized Musk as a "co-president."

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

Musk recently posted an evaluation on social media of the two people mentioned as candidates for the next treasury secretary.

One praised him as a person who could actually make a difference, while the other criticized him as "a choice that I've always made."

In fact, some aides were said to be appalled by the article that appeared to be pressuring Trump.

Musk also positively evaluated the news that Argentine President Milay, dubbed the "Trump of South America," has decided to cut tariffs.

Analysts say he criticized the imposition of omnidirectional tariffs, a key policy of Trump's second term.

There was a commotion that the Iranian government denied after reports that it had secretly met with the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations while deeply intervening in the diplomatic field.

There are growing complaints among Trump aides that Musk is crossing the line.There's even the word

'co-president'.

Musk's boast of reducing federal spending by $2 trillion and 2,800 trillion won has also been criticized for its lack of feasibility.

This is because it is a huge amount that can only be covered by cutting the entire social security budget.

Despite this controversy, Trump has given Musk unwavering confidence.

As Washington's political circles pointed out, "Where Trump is, Musk is," he showed up at the mixed martial arts stadium with Musk over the weekend.
