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.
I don’t think it’s just the money. He is deeply insecure, and I think that, in many ways, he actually craves the approval of what he sees as “the popular kids” (in his mind, the wealthiest man in the world is the #1 popular kid. Like the homecoming king in an 80s movie)
