Musk described one of his roles in serving America as being President Trump’s “tech support”—meaning he and his team work to ensure the President’s executive orders are actually implemented.
“That’s why my T-shirt says ‘tech support,’ because I’m here to provide the President with technology support,” Musk explained.
“One of the biggest functions of the DOGE team is just making sure that the presidential executive orders are actually carried out.”
Video Transcript AI Summary
I see myself as a technologist focused on creating technologies that improve the world. My "tech support" shirt reflects my role in providing technology support to the president. It's crucial because executive orders, though sensible and beneficial for the country, often aren't implemented effectively.
For instance, the president issued an executive order to stop using taxpayer money for luxury hotels for illegal immigrants, which is a waste of resources. Despite the order, this practice continued. My team intervened, pointing out the violation of the presidential executive order and demanding its termination. A primary function of the "Doers team" is ensuring that presidential executive orders are actually enforced.
Speaker 0: PayPal and how you became involved in Tesla and SpaceX and Neuralink and all these I mean, you know, I think the way you think of me is like I'm a technologist and I try to make technologies that improve the world and make sure You got a shirt on your shirt. Yeah. And and that's why I like my t shirt says tech support because I'm I'm here to provide the president with with technology support. And now that that may seem like, well, is that a silly thing? But actually, it's a very important thing because, the president will make these executive orders, which are very sensible and good for the country, but then they don't get implemented, you know.
So, if you take the, for example, the full funding for the migrant hotels, the president issued an executive order. Hey. We need to stop taking taxpayer money and and paying for luxury hotels for illegal immigrants. Which makes no sense. Like, so obviously, people do not want their tax dollars going to to to fund high end hotels for for illegals.
And yet they were still doing that even as late as last week. And so, you know, we went in there and we're like, this is a violation of the presidential executive order. It needs to stop. So so so what we're what we're doing here is is one of the biggest functions of the Doers team is just making sure that the presidential executive orders are actually carried out.

Hannity asked Trump and Musk about the media’s blatant attempts to drive a wedge between them, using tactics like calling Musk the “President” or claiming he’s “running the country.”
Trump mocked the media’s efforts, saying it is “obvious” what they are trying to do.
“They’re so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They’re actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I’d never be president,” Trump said.

We both know the media and punditry threw everything they had at us, the New York Times, Washington Post, all the networks and late night shows, cable channels, lawfare, weaponization, but they didn't win. Now they want us to hate each other and are trying to drive us apart.
I see it all the time. Elon even called me about it. They tried to say I ceded control of the presidency to him, that President Musk would be attending a cabinet meeting. It's so obvious and they're so bad at it. If they were good, I'd never have been president with all the bad publicity I get. But the people are smart. They get it and see what's happening.
Speaker 0: You're both aware, you have to be keenly aware that the media and and the punditry class, not that you know, I think you've proven they have no power anymore. Because they threw everything they had at you, and they didn't win. And that was, you know, the New York Times, Washington Post, three networks, every late night comedy show, two cable channels. They just threw they threw everything, lawfare, weaponization. And now I see they want you two to start they they want a divorce.
They want you two to start hating each other, and they try oh, president Elon Musk, for example. You do know that they're doing that to you.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see it all the time. They they tried it, then they stopped. That wasn't they have many different things, of hatred. Actually, Elon called me. He said, you know, they're trying to drive us apart.
I said, absolutely. You know, they said, we have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at 08:00. And I say, it's just so obvious.
They're so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They're actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I'd never be president. Because I I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things.
I get 98% bad publicity. I could do outside of you and a few of your very good friends. Right. It's like the craziest thing. But, you know what I have learned, Elon?

Trump then poked fun at Elon Musk’s team of a “hundred geniuses” at DOGE, saying they dress even worse than Musk—yet he was amazed by how well they get things done.
“He’s got some very brilliant young people working for him that http://dre.ss much worse than him. Actually, they dress in just T-shirts,” Trump said.
But the team’s results speak for themselves.
“You write a beautiful executive [order], you sign it, and you assume it’s going to be done—but it’s not… He [Musk] would take that executive order that I’d sign, and he would have those [DOGE] people go to whatever agency it was. ‘When are you doing it? Get it done.’ And some guy that maybe didn’t want to do it, all of a sudden he’s signing.”

I wanted someone smart working with me, especially on important country matters. He's also a very good businessman. When you write executive orders, you think they'll be implemented, but they often aren't. He takes my executive orders and has his team of brilliant young people ensure they get done. He makes sure that the agencies get it done. In real estate, you see similar things where some people can draw beautiful renderings, but they can't get the building built. He's one of those guys that can get it done. He makes sure things happen and pushes people to act.
Speaker 0: I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in terms of the country, a very important aspect. Because, I mean, he doesn't talk about it. He's actually a very good businessman. And when he talks about the executive orders, and this is probably true for all presidents. Yeah.
You write an executive order and you think it's done. You send it out. It doesn't get done. It doesn't get implemented. They don't implement it.
They maybe they're from the last administration, and they are in some cases. You try and get them out as fast as you can. But I could as soon as he said that, I said, you know, that's interesting. You write a beautiful executive and you you sign it and you assume it's gonna be done, but it's not. What he does is he takes it and with his hundred geniuses, he's got some very brilliant young people working for him that dress much worse than him, actually.
They dress in just t shirts. You wouldn't you wouldn't know they have a 80 items. Wait a minute. So he he's he's your tech support. I I No.
No. He is. But he's much more than that. Yeah. I'm technically on tech support, though.
But that's He gets it done. He's a leader. Yeah. He really is a he gets it done. You get a lot of tech people, and you have people that go to a tech, but they he gets it done.
You know, I said in real estate, you had guys that would draw beautiful renderings of a building, and they'd draw the rendering. It would be great. And you say, great. What are you starting? But they were never able to get it built.
They couldn't get the finances. They couldn't get the approvals. It would never get done. And then you have other guys that are able to get it done. You know?
They could just get it done. I was in real estate. Same thing in this. He gets it done. So when he said that, he said, you know, when you sign these executive orders, a lot of them don't get done and may be the most important ones.
And he would take that executive order that I'd signed, and he would have those people go to whatever agency it was. When are you doing it? Get it done. Get it done. And some guy that maybe didn't wanna do it, all of a sudden, he's signing.
He just doesn't Do you want to be bothered?

One of the standout moments of the night came when Elon Musk issued a profound statement defending HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“I think he’s unfairly maligned as someone who is anti-science, but I think he isn’t,” Musk declared before making a statement that completely shattered the relentless “anti-science” smears against him.
“He just wants to question the science, which is the essence of the science. The scientific method, fundamentally, is about always questioning the science,” Musk argued.

The conversation shifted to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS), with Musk sharing a hilarious personal story about a dinner party in L.A.
Musk explained that talking to liberals about Trump feels like dealing with people “shot with a dart in the jugular that contained methamphetamine and rabies.”
He emphasized this point further, posting “seriously” in a quote tweet of this very video.

I used to be adored by the left, but not so much these days. It's like this "Trump derangement syndrome" is real. You can't even reason with people.
I was at a friend's birthday dinner once, a nice, quiet gathering. I happened to mention the president's name, and it was like everyone got shot with a dart filled with meth and rabies. I mean, what's wrong with you guys? You can't even have a normal conversation. It's like they become completely irrational.
Speaker 0: I would think liberals would love the fact that you have the biggest electric vehicle company in

Less so these days. Killed that, I mean, less I I really didn't know that.

Speaker 1: mean, this this whole sort of, like, you know, it was they call it, like, Trump deranged syndrome. And I didn't you know, you don't realize how real this is until, like, it's you can't reason with people. So, like, I was at a friend's, birthday party in LA, just a birthday dinner. And it was, like, a nice quiet dinner and everything was everyone was behaving normally. And I happened to mention this is before the election, like, a month or two before.
I have to mention the president's name. And it was like they got shot with a dart in the in the jugular that contained, like, methamphetamine and rabies. Okay? And I'm like, what is wrong? Guys, like, you just can't have, like, a normal conversation.
Yeah. And it's like it's it's it's like they become completely irrational.
One of the more brilliant moments came when Musk delivered the perfect comeback to those complaining, “Nobody voted for Elon.”
“Speaking of unelected, there’s a vast federal bureaucracy that is implacably opposed to the president and the cabinet,” Musk shot back.
“And you look at D.C. voting, it’s 92% Kamala. Okay, so we’re 92% Kamala. That’s a lot... That’s basically almost everyone. And so, if the will of the president is not implemented and the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented. And that means we don’t live in a democracy.”

The other side is complaining that nobody voted for Elon or any of my cabinet nominees. They say people are dying because of budget cuts and even allege illegal activity.
But frankly, I don't care. If they're complaining, we must be over the target and doing something right. We're simply trying to restore the will of the people through the President.
What we've found is a vast, unelected federal bureaucracy that is against the President and the cabinet. In DC, it's 92% Kamala. How can we live in a democracy if the President's will, representing the people, isn't implemented? We're witnessing the bureaucracy thrashing as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.
Speaker 0: And this is what you get for it from the Democrats you get nobody voted for Elon or nobody voted for any of your cabinet nominees. Okay. People are dying because of doge cuts. I'll give you a chance to respond all that. What doge is doing is illegal.
Elon Musk is small street vernacular for a male body part. It's a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 1: Okay. Why why are they reacting like this?
Speaker 0: Well, I'm first of all, do you give a fly and rip over number one? And Well, I guess we must
Speaker 1: be over the target or doing something right, you know. If like, they wouldn't be complaining so much if they we weren't doing something useful, I think. But what what what all we're really trying to do here is restore, the will of the people through the president. And and what we're finding is that there's an unelected bureaucracy. Speaking of unelected, there's a there's a vast federal bureaucracy that is implacably opposed to the president and the cabinet.
And you look at, say, DC voting, it's 92% Kamala. Okay. So we're in 92% Kamala. That's a lot.
Speaker 0: They don't like me here either.
Speaker 1: I think about that number a lot. And, like, 92%, that's basically almost everyone. Yeah. And so but but if but but how can you if if if the will of the president is not implemented and the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented. And that means we we don't live in a democracy.
We live in a bureaucracy. And so I think what we're seeing here is the sort of the thrashing of the the bureaucracy as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.

As Part 1 of the conversation neared its end, Musk issued a grave warning, stating that if America doesn’t get its $36 trillion debt under control, financial collapse is inevitable.
“If the deficit is not brought under control, America will go bankrupt. This is a very important thing for people to understand. A country is no different from an individual in that if an individual overspends, an individual can go bankrupt, and so can a country. And the massive waste, fraud, and abuse that has been going on, which is leading to a $2 trillion-a-year deficit. That’s what the President was handed on January 20th,” Musk explained.

The final highlight came when Trump said @ElonMusk stands out as one of the smartest and most patriotic businessmen he knows.
He explained that while he’s dealt with many smart businesspeople, not all of them are necessarily good people.
“He [Musk],” on the other hand, “is a very different kind of character,” Trump stressed.
“I know a lot of great businesspeople, really great businesspeople, but, you know, they’re not really, in some cases, very good people. And I know people who would try to take advantage of the situation.
“This guy is somebody that really cares for the country. And I saw that very early on. I saw it a long time ago when I got to know him. He’s a very different kind of character,” Trump said.
