Laura Loomer, a close ally of President Trump, indicated that many Republicans are hesitant to challenge Elon Musk.
In an interview, Loomer described Musk as a "king" and noted, “Nobody wants to cross this guy.”
She expressed concern over Musk's significant $239 million contributions to support Trump's campaign, leading to potential intimidation among Trump's base.
During a separate discussion, Loomer criticized Musk as a "Stage 5 clinger" and raised issues about billionaires' influence in politics.
Loomer and other hard-liners have questioned Musk's support for H-1B work visas, amidst wider criticisms of his actions on social media.
