Chief of Staff Wiles freezing Elon out of the WH Office & limiting access (link & 🟦)

Susie Wiles, Trump's new chief of staff, has barred Elon Musk from securing a West Wing office, reinforcing her authority within the administration.

Susie Wiles, Donald Trump’s newly appointed chief of staff, has cemented her authority within the administration by barring Elon Musk’s attempt to secure a permanent base in the White House's West Wing.

Sources indicate the billionaire entrepreneur actively campaigned for an office position next to the Oval Office. The Times reports that his leadership team remains at the Eisenhower Executive Office building rather than the main West Wing on White House grounds.

He probably took advantage of tge chais and a weaker Mulvaney. Of course, Thiel might have played a part in the constant turnover in the first term.

It was reported she would only take the job if she could control access to DT

Don’t much like her, but that was wise
