Fox Information host Sean Hannity will quickly conduct a joint interview with co-Presidents Elon Musk and Donald Trump, the right-wing community introduced on Friday.
Musk is technically a “special government employee” who leads the Division of Authorities Effectivity (an advisory fee, not an actual division), and he has spent quite a lot of time within the public eye currently—and even within the Oval Workplace. When Trump compelled federal businesses to collaborate with Musk’s DOGE earlier this week by way of government order, Musk fielded questions from reporters as if he had been the one who was elected by Individuals to run the nation.
“The people voted for major government reform, and that’s what the people are going to get,” Musk stated on the time. “They’re going to get what they voted for,” he added, as if it had been a risk.
The interview was scheduled earlier than this Oval Workplace occasion, in response to Mediaite, so it’s unclear whether or not Trump has renewed emotions of annoyance towards the world’s richest man. Increasingly, Musk has tried to claim his dominance over Trump. In actual fact, he lately took a really political-looking assembly with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (earlier than Trump acquired the possibility to), and it appeared that Trump knew little, if nothing, about it.
When a reporter requested Trump whether or not Musk met with Modi as an American CEO or as a consultant of the U.S. authorities, Trump appeared to don’t know what they had been speaking about.
“Uhh, are you talking about me?” Trump replied.
“No, Elon Musk,” the reporter stated.
“Well, Elon—I don’t know. They met, and I assume he wants to do business in India, but India’s a very hard place to do business in because of the tariffs,” Trump stated. “No, I would imagine he met possibly because he’s running a company.”
It’s value reiterating that Musk has by no means been elected to public workplace, and it’s unclear why he’s taken such an outsized position within the president’s administration. Despite the fact that voters are sick of the mega-billionaire, Trump hasn’t completed a lot to cease him. As an example, in a Fox Information interview this previous weekend, Trump stated he trusted Musk to meet his promise to chop crimson tape and axe authorities spending.
Musk and Trump have additionally teamed as much as unfold bogus lies about revered information shops (see: Politico and Reuters) and shutter essential federal businesses, such because the U.S. Company for Worldwide Growth, the federal government’s major foreign-aid company.
The duo’s pretaped interview will happen on the White Home and air this upcoming Tuesday. The main target of the interview will probably be on DOGE (and no matter it’s Musk is doing there), Trump’s first 100 days in workplace, and different information of the day, in response to Mediaite. This can mark the primary time Musk and Trump will sit for a joint TV interview, which is stunning since they’re connected on the hip.
Information of their three way partnership fuels the notion that Trump is nothing however a figurehead, whereas Musk runs the present—and the nation. One can solely marvel how lengthy this can go on earlier than Trump tosses him to the facet as a few of his allies have rightly inspired him to.
