Summary

Donald Trump and Elon Musk told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that they believe the media is attempting to create a rift between them.

In a preview of their upcoming interview, Trump revealed that Musk called him to discuss this alleged media strategy. Musk nodded in agreement as Trump dismissed the media’s efforts.

Some pundits speculate their relationship will eventually fracture due to their competing egos.

The interview follows Musk’s recent Oval Office appearance, where he stood prominently beside Trump during a controversial executive order signing.

    When you feel the need to tell others your couple is solid, divorce isn’t far.

      I wish, but I don’t think that’s the case here. It seems pretty clear that Trump isn’t speaking his own mind regarding Musk. His ego is too big and fragile to take all of this criticism with grace. These sound more like the words of his handlers than his own.

        Trump isn’t speaking his own mind

        He’s been out of it for so damn long you’re probably right.

        Trump just wants to watch the world burn, and in Musk he found a way to do that without breaking a sweat
