[Global Network Report, Reporter Li Sa] According to the American (New York Post) on the 9th, White House Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles said in an interview that the breakdown of the relationship between U.S. President Trump and U.S. entrepreneur Elon Musk is 'very troublesome,' but ultimately it is a 'small issue' for this administration.

(New York Post) reported that in a program aired on Wednesday, Wiles believed that the ending between Trump and Musk is 'very troublesome.' 'I don’t understand, I don’t know.' When asked why Trump and Musk fell out, Wiles responded, 'I really enjoy working with Elon. I think he is a very charismatic person, and he has a unique way of looking at the world. I think the president might think the same way. (He) is just a bit different compared to ordinary people, but the ending is clearly not good.'
Wiles added that Musk 'may be the smartest person in the world' and stated that Musk provided advice in many areas such as business and organization, 'I think this was very important in the early stages, especially during the transition period.' In addition, she explicitly denied that Musk’s hostility was due to jealousy, as 'that doesn’t sound like Elon.'

Recently, Musk and Trump have disagreed over the 'big and beautiful' tax and spending bill. After Musk announced the establishment of the 'American Party' on social media on the 5th, a netizen asked Musk what caused him to 'turn from love to hate' towards Trump. Musk replied, '(Trump) has expanded the $2 trillion fiscal deficit, which was already at a crazy level during Biden's era, to $2.5 trillion, which will bankrupt the country.'
Wiles is the first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff, with extensive political experience, and is one of Trump’s longest-serving advisors. She served as Trump's campaign manager during the 2024 presidential election. When Trump first ran for president in 2016, Wiles helped him secure Florida. After Trump's defeat in the 2020 re-election campaign, Wiles was effectively Trump's chief of staff.
