Donald Trump and Elon Musk have granted their first joint interview After last Monday the White House issued a legal document stating that the richest man in the world is not the administrator of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge), in charge of looking for spending and personnel cuts. However, the firm alliance between the president of the United States and the tycoon remains. In the conversation for Fox Newswhich was recorded last Friday, both get rid of compliments and presume their friendship.
The American leader insists on his conversation that he could not count on someone better than Musk to offer “Advice and guidance” to governmentas well as to “pave the way for the administration to dismantle the government bureaucracy” and to “cut excessive regulations and unnecessary expenses and restructure federal agencies.” The Republican politician also expanded his fan of candidates before having Musk.
Trump himself tells him in his interview. “It’s great. You know, I wanted to find someone smarter than him. I looked everywhere, but I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t find anyone smarter, so we are looking for him for the country. So we decided on this guy, “the president tells the interviewer.” Thank you for counting with me. I only try to be useful, “replies Spacex’s owner.

Trump says Musk “is much more” than a signing capable of ensuring “technological support.” “I’m very good. Actually, he is a good business man”the president sentenced. A few words that do not correspond to the uncertainty that the signing of the billionaire awakens in much of the population, which invested 270 million dollars in its electoral campaign. For Trump, Musk Tesla’s father, Space X, Starlink or Neuralink is “a leader, someone who does things.”
