The conversation took an interesting turn when Fox Host Scene Hanity pointed to significant inequality in money between Musk and Trump. Trump responded fast, “So I became President.” He then highlighted the billionaire’s impressive trade skills, deeply in his decision to cooperate with Kasturi. Trump praised Kasturi, saying, “He is actually a very good businessman. What he does with his 100 talents, ensure that things happen.”
Despite the title of Musk as a senior advisor to the President, a court at the White House clarified that he had no “formal rights” to take a government decision. Nevertheless, Trump emphasized the important role of Musk in executing executive orders. He explained, “You write an executive order and think that it is done. You send it out, but it does not apply. What the alone does and ensures that it happens.”
As the interview proceeded, Hanti jokingly referred to Musk as Trump’s “Tech Support”. Trump quickly corrected him and said, “He is much more than that.”
Partnership between Trump and Musk has been a matter of interest, especially given the role of Musk. Dogi has played an important role in Trump’s efforts to overhall the government, including thousands of job cuts.
Trump has assured that Musk will not be involved in any Dogi decision, which can create a conflict of interest by saying this, “If there is a conflict, he will not be involved. I mean, I would not like that, And that will not happen, and I want it. “
