From Washington: What History Reveals About Elon Musk's Role In The White House

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has become one of the most influential figures in American politics thanks to his significant role in the second Trump administration. Despite his lack of political experience, Musk has become the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, participates in some cabinet meetings, and even spent millions on federal and state elections. And though Musk's relationship with the White House may be unusual, it's not unprecedented. Senior Fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and former Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Tevi Troy looks back at other political outsiders who played key roles in influencing presidents throughout history. President Trump's top domestic priority is the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which includes key parts of his agenda like strengthening the border, bolstering defense capabilities, and extending the Trump tax cuts. While Republicans control both the House and Senate and seem broadly united on getting many—or all—of the items done, passage is not inevitable. Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds discusses the “Big, Beautiful Bill” and how it will wind up on the President’s desk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
