President Donald Trump has named Sergio Gore on Friday (22 August 2025) as the US next Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs. Sergio Gore and former Doge Chief Alan Musk had a lot of feud. Musk once told Gore as ‘snake’.

A report by the New York Post claimed that Sergio Gore did not complete the necessary background documents for permanent security approval and he was still working under interim approval. However, the White House dismissed these allegations and said that Gore has completed all the documents. After this report, Elon Musk criticized Gore on the social media platform X and shared a link to the related report.

Why is there a conflict between Alan Musk and Gore?

According to The Hill’s report, there were direct conflicts in cabinet meetings between Musk and Gore. Musk raised a sharp objection to the role of personnel decisions and gore. A significant turn of this dispute came when Musk’s associate Jred Isaqman was named NASA’s head. The nomination was canceled before voting as Gore described Trump as the political background of Isaqman, which mentioned the previous donation made to the Democrats. This step became a major reason for Musk’s anger. However, a administration official said that the final decision was made by President Trump to withdraw the nomination of Isaqman.

Alan Musk has resigned from the post of Doge Chief

In May 2025, Alan Musk resigned from the post of Government Efficiency Department (DOGE). This post was designed to cut federal expenditure. Musk’s tenure was close to the maximum period prescribed for a special government advisor, but after the resignation, his first major public conflict with the Trump administration also came to light. The dispute was further deepened when the Trump administration passed the tax-and-expenditure budget bill in the House of Representatives, which passed by a margin of only one vote. Musk’s opinion was considered important in this process.

Sergio Gore is close to Trump

Gor, who has been considered close to the Trump family for a long time, will now be the new Ambassador of America in India. At the same time, this conflict between Alan Musk and Trump administration shows how deep internal differences are. Due to already dispute over the appointment of Gore, this step can also give rise to political debate on Indo-US relations.
