President Trump and billionaire DOGE chief Elon Musk accused the media and pundits on Friday of trying to create tension between them in an effort to drive them apart.
“They want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other,” Fox News host Sean Hannity told Trump and Musk in a clip from a lengthier interview that will air next week.
Trump, 78, agreed with the Fox News host and revealed that Musk had already warned him about the media’s effort to sow discord.
“Oh, I see it all the time,” the president said. “They tried it, then they stopped.”
“Actually, Elon called me and said, ‘You know, they’re trying to drive us apart.’ I said, ‘absolutely,’” Trump told the Fox News host.
The 47th president, speaking in television news anchor’s cadence, then went on to parody some of what he’s heard about himself and Musk on the news.
“You know, they said, ‘We have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at 8:00,’” Trump joked.
“And I say, it’s just so obvious they are so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They’re actually bad at it,” he argued. “Because if they were good at it, I’d never be president.”
