Trump and Musk claim the media is trying to drive them apart in Fox News interview
Summary
Donald Trump and Elon Musk told Fox News' Sean Hannity that they believe the media is attempting to create a rift between them.
In a preview of their upcoming interview, Trump revealed that Musk called him to discuss this alleged media strategy. Musk nodded in agreement as Trump dismissed the media’s efforts.
Some pundits speculate their relationship will eventually fracture due to their competing egos.
The interview follows Musk’s recent Oval Office appearance, where he stood prominently beside Trump during a controversial executive order signing.

When you feel the need to tell others your couple is solid, divorce isn't far.
I wish, but I don’t think that’s the case here. It seems pretty clear that Trump isn’t speaking his own mind regarding Musk. His ego is too big and fragile to take all of this criticism with grace. These sound more like the words of his handlers than his own.
He's been out of it for so damn long you're probably right.
Trump just wants to watch the world burn, and in Musk he found a way to do that without breaking a sweat
That would be correct. Dividing them is the best thing to do right now.
Your horses will be hailed as heroes.
Dude is this the U.S. government or a gay drama TV show. “Trying to drive a wedge” bro you’re the PRESIDENT
We should combine their names like Hollywood couples:
Musk + Trump = Mump
And the fanboys can be Mumpets.
Nah you have to start with Trump but not give him the satisfaction of his name: Trusk. Or a Russian twist: Trusky.
No no, they're on to something. Especially after confirming RFK Jr. How long until Mumps come back?
Hate to tell you there sport, it’s not just the fucking media, pretty sure it’s a lot of the population as well
Including cheeto's own staff, I would guess...
I'm not sure why Trump would think that, Musk explicitly told him they were doing fine.
Musk is in charge and Donny gets to shitpost on Twitter, is that not what he wanted?
Does Trump look like a guy that dumps and cheats on everyone he's ever been with? Is he not the poster child of fidelity?
Trump is well known for his loyalty.
No one will get in the way of their love! It's written in the stars!
KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS
their trying to interfere with their May-December relationship.
