In a dramatic White House shake-up, Donald Trump has removed Sergio Gor, the chief saboteur of his relationship with Elon Musk, from his position as director of the Office of Presidential Personnel. This move comes after a series of clashes between Gor and Musk over the billionaire's pick for NASA chief, Jared Isaacman.
Gor's removal is a significant development, as he was responsible for controlling hiring and firing across the administration, with a special focus on loyalty. His replacement is Dan Scavino, a long-time Trump loyalist who has worked for the president since he was 16 years old as a caddie. Scavino's role is now to head the White House Presidential Personnel Office, a position of great importance as he will be responsible for the selection and appointment of almost all government positions.
The tension between Gor and Musk escalated when Gor delivered a dossier to Trump's desk, showing Isaacman's donations to Democrats. This led to Trump's decision to withdraw Isaacman's nomination for NASA. The relationship between Trump and Musk has been a rollercoaster, with Musk even branding Gor 'a snake' after Isaacman was dumped by the White House. The conflict between the two billionaires has been a topic of interest for political observers, with Musk's 'America Party' movement and his support for JD Vance adding to the drama.
Despite the recent tensions, there are signs of a potential thaw in the Musk-Trump feud. The pair were recently pictured chatting together at a memorial event, indicating a possible reconciliation. This development highlights the complex dynamics within the political world and the impact of personal relationships on leadership decisions.
