Former President Donald Trump stunned Fox News host Maria Bartiromo by announcing a member of his cabinet, and that was not the only shocker.
The former president, who has started to lead in the polls announced that Space X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk would join his team in a new cabinet position he wants to create.
“We have the endorsement of Elon, as you know,” the former president said. “Elon Musk, who’s great. He’s a great guy. He had such a good time. He put the black hat on.”
“Dark MAGA,” the host said.
“He calls it Dark MAGA,” the Republican presidential nominee said. “How cool is that? He’s a great guy. He’s given us a really powerful endorsement. He’s out campaigning in Pennsylvania today. He’s actually campaigning because he says if we don’t win, we’re not going to have a country.”
And the owner of X, formerly Twitter, was mentioned again later in the interview when he announced the job.
“You’ve also said that there’s a lot of fat in government that you would want to part of,” the host said. “So what agencies would you want to shut down?:
“Let me have you ask another person that,” the former president said. “Because I’m going to have Elon Musk — he is dying to do this. You know, he’s a great business guy, actually. You think of him for science and rockets. And every time I think he’s telling me about a new screw that was developed, he’s developed a new screw, screws are difficult, and it’s made out of titanium, and it’s so exciting. But you know what? He’s a great business guy and he’s a great cost-cutter. You’ve seen that. And he said ‘I could cut costs without affecting anybody.’”
“So he will be in the cabinet,” he said.
“Not in the cabinet. He doesn’t want to be in the cabinet. He just wants to be in charge of cost-cutting. We’ll have a new position: Secretary of cost-cutting, OK? Elon wants to do that. And we have incredible people. He’s running a big business. You know, he can’t just say, ‘I think I’ll go into the cabinet.’ You know, other people can. He can. But Elon’s a little bit different in that sense,” he said.
