In a recent Oval Office photo op, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk were seen engaging with reporters amid executive orders being signed. While many critics framed the imagery as humiliating for Trump, journalist Maggie Haberman suggested that despite appearances, Trump was not entirely at ease. She acknowledged that some officials claimed he was fine with the interaction, but her observation indicated a deeper power dynamic where Trump relied on Musk, the world’s richest man, for validation, showcasing a complicated relationship amid perceptions of a co-presidency.
"It looked to those of us who have watched him for a long time as if Trump was not enjoying this."
"They said that he and I don't think that they're making it up. I think that he was defending his guy, Elon Musk."
