Tech billionaire Elon Musk had some choice words in defense of both himself and President Donald Trump during a lively interview on Fox News Tuesday night. And by “lively,” we mean exactly what you’d expect—Musk, Trump, and Sean Hannity taking turns dunking on the media and the so-called “constitutional experts” who conveniently forget what the Constitution actually says.
The interview took place at the White House, where Musk, now heading up the Department of Government Efficiency (yes, that’s a real thing now), sat down with Hannity and Trump to discuss the latest political drama. And let’s just say, they didn’t hold back.
Musk, in his signature direct style, called out the critics:
“Well, it’s just a con job. It’s a big con job. They’re so bad for the country, so dangerous and so bad.”
According to Musk, the people crying “unconstitutional!” the loudest are actually the ones playing fast and loose with the law.
“When these attacks occur, the thing they’re accusing the administration of is what they are guilty of. They’re saying that things are unconstitutional, but what they are doing is unconstitutional,” Musk explained. “They are guilty of the crime of which they accuse us.”

Trump, never one to sit quietly when there’s a good rant happening, jumped in to back up Musk’s point.
“It’s always the first thing they do,” Trump said, before going full throttle on the media. “Well, it’s just a con job. It’s a big con job. They’re so bad for the country, so dangerous and so bad. The media is so bad, when I watch MSNBC, which I don’t watch much but you have to watch the enemy on occasion, the level of arrogance and cheating. They’re just horrible people, these are horrible people. They tell lies.”
And just in case anyone thought there was a sliver of journalistic integrity left, Hannity chimed in:
“They lie. They tell conspiracy theories.”
Trump kept going, because why stop now?
“And they start up with the Constitution, they couldn’t care less about the Constitution,” he added. “CNN likewise. I watch them asking questions with the hatred. Why are you asking the question with such anger, you’re asking me a normal question. But you see the bias, the bias is so incredible. And those two are bad, PBS is bad. And [Associated Press] is bad, CBS is terrible!”
WATCH:
You’ve got to admire the thoroughness—Trump isn’t leaving a single network off his naughty list.
Of course, Democrats were quick to clutch their pearls, insisting that Trump and Musk were the ones trampling over the Constitution. But according to Trump supporters, there’s this little thing called an election that kind of settles who’s in charge.
Musk put it plainly:
“The president is the elected representative of the people,” he said. “So he’s representing the will of the people. And if the bureaucracy is fighting the will of the people and preventing the president from implementing what the people want, then what we live in is a bureaucracy, and not a democracy.”
