Donald Trump is not hesitant to voice his thoughts, as evidenced by his recent conversation with Elon Musk. Both men were inseparable during the interview, with Trump showering Musk with praise.
“You know, I wish I could find someone smarter than him,” Trump said, before laughing and adding, “I couldn’t.” Musk, clearly surprised, smiled at the compliment. Trump reassured him, explaining that his search led nowhere, and “this is why I settled on this guy.”
The interview, hosted by Fox News’s Sean Hannity, revealed Trump’s admiration for Musk’s efficiency and cost-cutting skills. Trump announced Musk’s appointment as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), emphasizing his trust in the tech billionaire.
“This is why Musk is here,” Trump explained, pointing to Musk. The Tesla CEO appeared pleased with the recognition.
Trump’s remarks not only highlighted his respect for Musk but also offered a glimpse into his approach to selecting top talent for his administration.
