Summary
In a Fox News interview, Elon Musk and Sean Hannity repeatedly talked over Donald Trump, sidelining him in a discussion about government efficiency.
Musk dominated the conversation, warning of national bankruptcy and presenting himself as a savior.
Hannity largely directed questions to Musk, while Trump struggled to interject.
The awkward exchange fueled speculation about Musk’s influence, with some questioning who is really in charge.
Honestly where the fuck is JD Vance? Isn’t he the vice president? Musk is always next to Trump, I haven’t seen Vance one time
He’s on a world tour, convincing our allies they need to band together against the US
Trump was being honest when he said Vance didn’t matter and wasn’t going to do anything in office anyway.
I haven’t even heard his name since the election besides Colbert making couch jokes.
He’s pulling a Pence. Be close enough to reap the benefits but far enough to not go down with the ship.
JD Vance’s job is to not overshadow Trump. Trump doesn’t seem to mind if Musk does, though.
