Chief architect of sabotaging Trump-Musk ties REASSIGNED to India

By ramontomeydw // 2025-10-14

• President Donald Trump has reassigned Sergio Gor, the head of the White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), to become the Ambassador to India.
• The reassignment follows reported friction – notably a clash with Elon Musk over Gor's opposition to the NASA nomination of Musk's associate, Jared Isaacman, which led Musk to brand Gor "a snake."
• White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, a long-time loyal aide to Trump, has been named as Gor's replacement to lead the influential PPO.
• While officially framed as a "significant promotion," the move is characterized by some as a consequence of the conflict with Musk, which had contributed to a deterioration in Trump and Musk's relationship.
• The relationship between Trump and Musk, which had soured to the point of Musk leaving his government role in July, has recently shown signs of improvement.

In a significant restructuring of his administration's core machinery, President Donald Trump has reassigned the official responsible for sabotaging his relationship with entrepreneur Elon Musk from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to India. The real estate mogul made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday, Oct. 12. He mentioned that Sergio Gor, formerly the head of the White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), "will now become the Ambassador to India." Trump praised Gor for doing "a wonderful job in that position." Trump also named Gor's replacement at the PPO, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, in the Truth Social post. According to the chief executive, Scavino "will be responsible for the selection and appointment of almost all positions in government, a very big and important position." The PPO is the central clearinghouse for thousands of political appointments across the executive branch, wielding immense influence over the ideological direction of the administration. Gor's reassignment to the ambassadorship in New Delhi, a post for which he was confirmed by the Senate on Oct. 7, is framed officially as a promotion. A spokesman for Gor characterized it as a "significant promotion and an expansion of his responsibilities, not a removal or demotion." Nick Solheim, CEO of the conservative staff training non-profit American Moment, echoed this sentiment. "Gor has done a great job revolutionizing the PPO," he said, adding that the new ambassador "will continue to do great things as President Trump's representative to India." However, the shift comes after reported friction, most notably a explosive clash with Musk over the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a billionaire tech entrepreneur and commercial astronaut, to lead the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). According to reports, Gor opposed Isaacman's nomination, delivering to the president a dossier detailing Isaacman's past donations to Democratic candidates. Musk, who has a close business relationship with Isaacman through his SpaceX program, reportedly branded Gor "a snake" following the nomination's withdrawal. One White House official characterized the move as "Sergio's 'f**k you'" to the Tesla CEO.

Scavino: The caddie who became Trump's trusted aide

BrightU.AI's Enoch engine notes that Trump and Musk's relationship deteriorated "because Musk publicly criticized Trump's policies and leadership, while Trump viewed Musk as disloyal and overly reliant on government subsidies. Their feud escalated as Musk opposed Trump's Big Beautiful Bill and Trump retaliated by attacking Musk's businesses and credibility." The incident involving Isaacman, together with his public spat with Trump, led Musk to quit his role in Trump's government in July. However, the relationship has shown signs of a recent thaw – with the two talking during the memorial service of the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in September. Meanwhile, Scavino's history with Trump is rooted in deep personal loyalty. The new PPO director first met Trump as a 16-year-old high school freshman working as a caddie at the Briar Hall Country Club, now known as Trump National Golf Club Westchester. Scavino later returned to manage the club and has remained by Trump's side since, transitioning from the business world to politics with Trump's 2015 campaign. He served as White House social media director during Trump's first term and returned as deputy chief of staff in the current administration. Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon succinctly captured the sentiment of Scavino's allies, remarking: "Dan is Trump's former caddie, no one knows club selection better." Solheim also commented on the transition: "There is no one better than Scavino to head PPO as someone who has worked closely with the president for decades."
