Trump’s chief of staff had scheme to control Musk — its failure could blow up GOP: analyst

Donald Trump’s nominee for chief of staff worried that Elon Musk’s connection to the president-elect was bad news and she worked to keep the billionaire’s power under control, a columnist wrote Tuesday.

But Salon’s Amanda Marcotte wrote that Susie Wiles’ plot failed. And it now threatens to tear apart the GOP.

Marcotte wrote that “it’s a safe bet” that Wiles created the Department of Government Efficiency as a way to contain Musk — putting him in a “presidential advisory committee” with no real power.
