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.

    Just goes to show, Trump is not the cause of the disease, he’s a symptom. Trump could be Luigied tomorrow and the problems with the Republican party wouldn’t disappear. They are completely owned by billionaires.

      Trump is still important. He’s the person at the center of the cult they’ve built their power on.
