"I think we've just had a very exciting moment," Marc Benioff, the billionaire founder and CEO of Salesforce who has been vocal in his support of Trump, told the BBC in December. "It's a new chapter for America.""There's a lot of incredible people like Elon Musk in the tech industry and in the business community. And if you can tap the power of expertise to make the best of America, that's a great vision," he said at the time.

"They want predictable supply chains, and a lot of the policies and the headlines coming out of Washington are creating anxiety and uncertainty."

Dr Philip Low, a neuroscientist and CEO of neurotechnology company Neurovigil, said Musk's playbook could wreak havoc on governmental institutions. The two were close for nearly 15 years before their relationship soured, he said."His pattern is to take companies, invest in them, destabilise them, and then take them over," said Dr Low, citing Twitter as an example.

"In that context, the White House is his biggest investment to date. And he is destabilising the American government now."

According to Dr Low, Musk will not be satisfied being a trusted deputy, which may set him on a collision course with the president, his boss."These people are in the same position as me so I know I can be myself around them," she says.
