Ex-Aide Confronted On Fox News About Reports Trump Is 'Annoyed' Over Elon Musk
HuffPost
A Fox News correspondent asked about a new report in which a source said "100% Trump is annoyed" with his billionaire buddy's spotlight.
Donald Trump’s former White House deputy press secretary was asked on Fox News Monday about reports that the president-elect is getting fed up with all the attention Elon Musk is attracting.
Earlier, Mediaite had reported, citing sources close to the Trump transition, that the president-elect is tiring of his billionaire ally’s omnipresence. “100 percent Trump is annoyed,” a Trump insider told the site. “There’s a Chinese saying: ‘two tigers cannot live on one mountaintop.’”
Fox News chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt asked Hogan Gidley, who was also national press secretary of Trump’s 2020 campaign, about reports that the president-elect “might be getting slightly annoyed” and “getting a little tired” of the attention that Musk commands via his social media platform X.
“Oh, look, it’s obvious that Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others have good relationships with Donald Trump,” Gidley pushed back. “The media like to stir things up and try and create rifts where there aren’t any rifts.”
“Donald Trump has tasked Elon Musk with a big job, and that’s finding a lot of the fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government. We think he can absolutely accomplish that,” he added.
