For the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, billionaire and close ally Elon Musk has been central to the president's strategy and the public presentation of his administration.
As head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has led the charge on cuts to federal spending, and as the owner of X, formerly Twitter, has made himself a top advocate for the administration's policies through his prolific social media activity.
However, Musk's first 100 days have been a double-edged sword. His close alignment with Trump has damaged his tech company brands, and despite being one of the most proactive members of the president's team, his job approval rating has been ranked as even lower than Trump's.
