Elon Musk, known for his disruptive role in the U.S. government as part of the Department of Government Efficiency, has left a negative impression on Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff under Donald Trump. In interviews, Wiles described Musk as a “complete solo actor” whose decisions, including the shutdown of USAID, caused significant crises. She expressed shock at the humanitarian implications of these cuts, estimating they could lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. Wiles characterized Musk’s work style as chaotic and noted the challenges of managing his unpredictable behavior while navigating the complexities of government operations.
