Musk “On A Leash” Has To Report To Wiles After Kicked Out Of West Wing

That didn’t take long. Now that Donald doesn’t need Elon anymore, it makes perfect sense to defenestrate him and send him to the Eisenhower building.

Evidently it was the doing of Susie Wiles, the “ice maiden” who ran Trump’s campaign along with Chris LaCivita (remember him, the $20 million man?) Musk had a place set up in the West Wing and that went bye bye so now he’s down the street.

The British newspaper the Sunday Times recently reported that President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, “has denied the billionaire touted as ‘the real vice-president’ a permanent office in the heart of the White House.”

“The ‘ice maiden’ at the heart of the Trump administration has won her first big battle this week — denying Elon Musk a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House. Susie Wiles, a veteran Florida political fixer and the first female chief of staff, earned her nickname from President Trump for the calm professionalism she brought to his election campaign,” the outlet reported Friday.

“Observers call her job ‘the toughest in America’: she must bring order to Trump’s White House operation, control access to the president to keep him focused, manage senior staff and liaise with Congress to advance his legislative agenda.”

NEW: Susie Wiles has reportedly put a leash on “DOGE” and Elon Musk’s direct line to Trump.

Instead of cozying up in the West Wing, DOGE is getting parked outside in the Eisenhower building—far from the action.

DOGE is not doing well for openers. Vivek Ramaswamy was set to co-helm the operation but he managed to upset MAGA with his comments about how bad American culture is and how lazy and stupid we are — hence in need of smart people from India to come over on H-1B visas and save us from ourselves.

Additionally, the main lawyer for DOGE, Bill McGinley, resigned. If you read between the lines of this Wall Street Journal piece, you’ll see a classic case of leaving the kitchen when the heat goes up.

McGinley said he is leaving DOGE days after Vivek Ramaswamy, its co-chair, stepped down to pursue a campaign to be Ohio’s next governor amid tension with Musk.

“I am in discussions regarding a number of private sector opportunities and will have something to announce in the next couple of weeks,” McGinley said Thursday. “I support President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the great teams in the White House and across the administration 100%.”

Though DOGE was conceived as an outside advisory panel, Trump signed an executive order after taking office that made clear DOGE will function within the executive branch, replacing the U.S. Digital Service.

Trump said soon after his election in November that he planned to choose McGinley as White House counsel, the most senior legal adviser to the president. Weeks later, Trump changed his mind, tapping McGinley as DOGE’s counsel instead.

Trump said in December that McGinley would help DOGE slash regulations and reduce spending. Musk has said that DOGE aims to help cut up to $2 trillion in government spending, a figure he also has described as a best-case outcome. Musk has been working this week from a West Wing office, according to a person familiar with the situation, and DOGE will be based in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a short walk from the White House.

At least three lawsuits have been filed against DOGE by watchdog groups including Public Citizen and the State Democracy Defenders Fund arguing that the group violates laws by giving private citizens specific roles within the federal government but not allowing public access that is required by the law.

Unrealistic goals to begin with and lawsuits coming out of the woodwork. Not a good sign for the beginning of a revolutionary advisory department. Now the progenitor of this pipe dream is being reduced to second class citizen status, as these things are reckoned in Trump world, and sent down the road. DOGE is getting off to, how shall we put it ….. a less than auspicious start. Let’s just say that much.
