Elon Musk recently shared his perspective on “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” shedding light on how his liberal friends react to anything related to Donald Trump.
Musk spoke with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview, where he revealed how his own friends would react when his name came up in conversation.
A Surprising Reaction from Liberal Friends
Musk explained that whenever Trump’s name was mentioned, the reactions from his liberal friends were so extreme that it was as if they had been hit with a dart containing “methamphetamine and rabies.”
He described these responses as “completely irrational,” adding that it was almost impossible for him to understand the level of anger or passion these friends displayed at the mere mention of the former president.
Dissecting the Media’s Role in Polarizing Opinions
In the interview, Musk also touched on the media’s influence, noting how it often fuels division, especially between himself and Trump.
Despite this, he emphasized their shared goal: working together to dismantle government waste.
Musk pointed out that the media attempts to tear them apart, but both remain committed to their mission.
