Centibillionaire Elon Musk all but shut down the US government via X post before Trump was even in office.

Musk helped bankroll Donald Trump's bid for the presidency with his social media platform X.

He has already co-led a new advisory committee responsible for cutting $2 trillion from the federal budget.

Musk 's influence will be felt in the new coziness between Silicon Valley and the MAGA movement.

Even before buying Twitter in 2022 , Musk was a super user, one of the platform’s most followed people.

His Tweets could affect stock prices for his other companies, particularly Tesla , and his favored memecoin, Dogecoin .
