Donald Trump's so-called "ice maiden" at the heart of his administration has won a major battle against Elon Musk by freezing the billionaire out from establishing a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House.

Susie Wiles, the first female chief of staff, earned her nickname from Trump following her calm approach to his successful presidential campaign. But she wasted little time to make clear that some people were not welcome, namely those "who want to work solo or be a star."

She faced an early challenge when online murmurings began calling Elon Musk the power behind President Trump, or calling the Commander-in-Chief "Vice-President Trump" as the billionaire grabbed more of the spotlight from the Republican.
