COLLINS Really last night ░░░░░░░░ of I guess was ░░░░░░░░ catalyst But what President ░░░░░░░░ s view of Elon ░░░░░░░░ is right now does ░░░░░░░░ see more upside or ░░░░░░░░ in this relationship in ░░░░░░░░ moment HABERMAN He definitely ░░░░░░░░ still sees more upside ░░░░░░░░ of the things that ░░░░░░░░ think is really important ░░░░░░░░ remember about Trump and ░░░░░░░░ Musk is among other ░░░░░░░░ Musk controls X That ░░░░░░░░ a website that you ░░░░░░░░ he has been able ░░░░░░░░ use to promote certain ░░░░░░░░ to attack certain people ░░░░░░░░ who Trump likes people ░░░░░░░░ the MAGA ecosystem like ░░░░░░░░ you know attacking those ░░░░░░░░ don t like Number ░░░░░░░░ Number two Musk spent ░░░░░░░░ 300 million that we ░░░░░░░░ about in the election ░░░░░░░░ 2024 helping to push ░░░░░░░░ Trump He has already ░░░░░░░░ he is privately to ░░░░░░░░ in Trump s world ░░░░░░░░ he is going to ░░░░░░░░ 100 million through entities ░░░░░░░░ controlled by Trump s ░░░░░░░░ or his allies That ░░░░░░░░ a shift for him ░░░░░░░░ Elon Musk is never ░░░░░░░░ to be out of ░░░░░░░░ Trump s circle But ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump aware that ░░░░░░░░ is you know there ░░░░░░░░ downsides to Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ Is he aware that ░░░░░░░░ of his cabinet and ░░░░░░░░ of his staff don ░░░░░░░░ like Elon Musk Yes ░░░░░░░░ don t think you ░░░░░░░░ ever see Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ out of Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ orbit but I do ░░░░░░░░ you will see him ░░░░░░░░ barring something changing at ░░░░░░░░ end of his stint ░░░░░░░░ a special government employee ░░░░░░░░ Right Which is you ░░░░░░░░ just a certain set ░░░░░░░░ that he can stay ░░░░░░░░ when he was asked ░░░░░░░░ long he plans to ░░░░░░░░ in the White House ░░░░░░░░ recent weeks this is ░░░░░░░░ Elon Musk had to ░░░░░░░░ Clip starts KUDLOW You ░░░░░░░░ going to go another ░░░░░░░░ Musk Yeah I think ░░░░░░░░ I think we will ░░░░░░░░ accomplished most of the ░░░░░░░░ required to reduce the ░░░░░░░░ by 1 trillion within ░░░░░░░░ time frame BAIER So ░░░░░░░░ that time frame 130 ░░░░░░░░ Musk Yes Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ So that s that ░░░░░░░░ frame for being in ░░░░░░░░ was a point in ░░░░░░░░ though where Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ telling the president maybe ░░░░░░░░ months is what he ░░░░░░░░ been looking at What ░░░░░░░░ you think has changed ░░░░░░░░ HABERMAN Well a I ░░░░░░░░ t think there s ░░░░░░░░ huge difference between the ░░░░░░░░ days and six months ░░░░░░░░ I think that look ░░░░░░░░ know Trump is certainly ░░░░░░░░ that this has been ░░░░░░░░ turbulent period I don ░░░░░░░░ think that he wants ░░░░░░░░ spend the entirety of ░░░░░░░░ next year and a ░░░░░░░░ leading into what is ░░░░░░░░ to be a challenging ░░░░░░░░ cycle debating questions about ░░░░░░░░ Musk s approach to ░░░░░░░░ the government which has ░░░░░░░░ commonly described as with ░░░░░░░░ chainsaw as opposed to ░░░░░░░░ Trump s word with ░░░░░░░░ scalpel And you know ░░░░░░░░ would I think like ░░░░░░░░ more precise but he ░░░░░░░░ see advantages in having ░░░░░░░░ around I don t ░░░░░░░░ that he is eager ░░░░░░░░ shove him out I ░░░░░░░░ think there are a ░░░░░░░░ of Trump advisers who ░░░░░░░░ tired of Musk s ░░░░░░░░ and I think that ░░░░░░░░ going to continue as ░░░░░░░░ as Musk is there.”
