Elon Musk und Donald Trump waren Tag für Tag die Hauptfiguren im Internet und in Washington. Dann begann der reichste Mann der Welt mehr und mehr in den Hintergrund zu rücken.

Organizacja zbierająca fundusze dla Trumpa w dużej mierze zaprzestała wysyłania e-maili, w których pojawiało się nazwisko dyrektora generalnego Tesli. Nazwisko miliardera, niegdyś stały element briefingów w Białym Domu, obecnie prawie w ogóle nie jest wspominane.
