Setting the Record Straight
(President Donald Trump during the “Hannity” Interview)
During an exclusive interview on “Hannity,” President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to accusations from liberal media and Democratic leaders that they are orchestrating a constitutional crisis. Dismissing these claims as “absurd” and “a big con job,” both men argued that their critics are guilty of the very offenses they allege against them.
“That’s always the first thing they do—say someone is violating the Constitution when they don’t even know what they’re talking about,” President Trump stated. He went on to emphasize that his critics “couldn’t care less about the Constitution.”
Musk echoed this sentiment, arguing that those making the accusations are the ones acting unconstitutionally. “When these attacks happen, what they’re accusing the administration of is exactly what they are guilty of. They claim things are unconstitutional, but in reality, their own actions are unconstitutional,” Musk said.
The Vision for Government Reform

The interview covered a broad range of topics, with a major focus on the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Shortly after his decisive election victory, President Trump appointed Musk to lead this initiative, aiming to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies.

In recent weeks, DOGE has taken aim at organizations such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education. This aggressive approach has led to mounting scrutiny from Democratic leaders and media outlets, some even sarcastically referring to Musk as “President Elon Musk.”
“We must be over the target or doing something right,” Musk told Sean Hannity, responding to the criticism. “They wouldn’t be complaining so much if we weren’t making a real impact. What we’re trying to do is restore the will of the people through the president, but we’re facing an unelected bureaucracy that’s implacably opposed to the administration.”
Musk described the backlash as “the thrashing of the bureaucracy as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.”
An Unlikely Alliance for Change
Despite their differing backgrounds, President Trump and Musk have forged a partnership centered on fixing what they see as government inefficiencies. They both emphasized that beyond restructuring government, their mission is to bring “competence” and “care” into public service.
“When you add more competence and caring, you get a better deal for the American people,” Musk explained. He argued that taxpayers have been getting a “terrible deal,” particularly under the previous Biden administration.
During the interview, Musk also shared a personal anecdote about experiencing “Trump Derangement Syndrome” firsthand. He recalled attending a dinner party before the 2024 election where merely mentioning President Trump’s name triggered an extreme reaction from guests. “It was like they got shot with a dart laced with methamphetamine and rabies,” Musk joked, describing how the conversation spiraled into irrational hostility.
President Trump and Musk also addressed what they see as repeated media attempts to drive a wedge between them. “I see it all the time,” President Trump said. “Elon even called me and said, ‘They’re trying to drive us apart.’ And I told him, ‘Absolutely.’”
President Trump concluded with his signature candor: “They’re so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it, but if they were, I wouldn’t be president.”
Their conversation showcased a determined alliance focused on challenging government inefficiencies, combating bureaucracy, and countering media narratives—all while dismissing the claims of a constitutional crisis as nothing more than political theater.
