President Trump: The media is trying to divide me and Elon Musk

President Trump mocked the media's description of Musk holding real power at the White House, asserting that their efforts to divide the two have failed. "Whenever they do this, like 'we have breaking news: Donald Trump has handed over control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will attend the cabinet meeting tonight'", US President Trump said in an excerpt from an interview with Fox News published on 15/2. Musk also appeared in this interview. The host explained that the media criticism is an attempt to "divide" Trump and Musk, making them "hate each other". "I always understand that. In fact, Elon called me and said 'you know, they are trying to divide us'. I replied 'definitely'," he said. President Trump also affirmed that Americans understand what the media is doing. "I used to think they were good at dividing, but they actually do it very poorly. Because if they did it well, I would never have become president," he added. "You know what I've figured out, Elon. That's very wise people, they understand everything. They know exactly what's going on." In the excerpt, Musk laughed out loud when Mr. Trump mentioned the media using the phrase "President Musk". The full content of this interview will be aired on 18/2. Tech billionaire Musk is a close ally of President Trump and has spent nearly 300 million USD on his presidential campaign. After President Trump took office, Musk became the head of the Government (DOGE) Efficiency Committee, a committee responsible for streamlining the US government. Democratic activists and many American media outlets argue that Musk is wielding too much power. Time magazine ran a cover image of Musk photoshopped into the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, a symbolic piece of furniture for the U.S. president. The New Yorker cover depicted Trump and Musk holding the Bible, taking the presidential oath of office together. Until now, Mr. Trump still publicly supports Musk's work. According to him, that is a very important job in the midst of a skyrocketing budget deficit. Musk recently posted on social media X that he loves President Trump 'as much as any man can.' Amidst criticism, Musk continues to attract strong attention from the media, including his appearance at the Rocket Launch Pad with his 4-year-old son on 11/2. Opinion polls show a more negative view of Musk than a positive one. Meanwhile, President Trump is receiving the highest approval rating ever. DYOR! #Write2Earn #Write&Earn $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT)
