- “I don’t welcome people who want to work solo or be a star,” Wiles told Axios in January.
- “My team and I will not tolerate backbiting, second-guessing inappropriately, or drama.
- These are counterproductive to the mission.”
Musk has recently been reminded that he reports to Wiles, according to NBC News, a development that Musk didn’t expect. His title is “special government employee,” but Musk, with his billions and his minions, is unlike any other White House staffer. A night owl like Trump, he speaks to the president regularly by phone, which makes it difficult for Wiles, who keeps a more traditional schedule, to regulate the relationship and Musk’s moves. . .[ ]
But crashing the gates makes for better TV ratings and keeps an easily bored president engaged.
Disorder will remain a feature of this White House no matter how Wiles and her allies try to brand her as the person who can tame Trump (and Musk).

President Donald Trump’s “ice maiden” lived up to her name on Tuesday as she stared down her boss during a bizarre press conference in the Oval Office with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As Trump rambled on and on about Gaza being hell on Earth and described a half-baked idea for some other very rich country to build a beautiful town for the people of Gaza in an unspecified place, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles edged closer until she was standing directly behind Trump.
She pursed her lips and opened her eyes wide, looking a bit stunned as the president went on to blame his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, for the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
