Elon Musk Dodges Trump Questions... Before Diving Into His Own Gripes About Government

While Musk first refused to talk politics with "CBS Sunday Morning," it didn't take him long to start airing his grievances.

Elon Musk doesn’t want to talk about politics... unless he’s got something to complain about.

The billionaire’s interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” began on a stiff note as he shut down questions about President Donald Trump’s ongoing tariff tumult and the administration’s bid to throttle international students from coming into the country.

But soon after trying to swerve from any contentious topics, Musk began grousing about the government, unprompted.

“My opinion of the government is that the government is just like the DMV that got big,” he told interviewer David Pogue. “So when you say, ‘Let’s have the government do something,’ you should think, do you want the DMV to do it?”

Treading carefully around his qualms with the Trump regime, Musk said, “You know, it’s not like I agree with everything the administration does. So it’s like, I mean, I agree with much of what the administration does, but we have differences of opinion.”
