From Critic to Trump Supporter

Lesley Stahl:
You tweet a lot.

Elon Musk:
I use my tweets to express myself. Some people use their hair. I use Twitter. Well, but you use your tweeting to to kind of get back at critics. Rarely. You kind of have little wars with the press.

Twitter is a war zone. If somebody is going to jump on the war zone, it's like, okay, you're in the arena, let's go. Okay. Who does that sound like? I don't know who's the sound like. It sounds like a guy who lives at the white House. Oh. That guy? Yeah, sure. He's very good at Twitter. I know, I mean, the president is amazingly good at Twitter.

Do you support him? I, I think there are some things that I think are good, like the Space Force. I but I there's some things that I think are not good, like support for oil and gas and his position on the environment, global warming. We obviously do not agree on the environment.

Leslie and 60 have zero creditabilty left. ZERO.

Thank you, Leslie Stahl, for making Elon realize that he agreed with Trump more than the Democrats. She was criticizing Elon for going after the media with Twitter.

[AnnyMedrano-uf]

May he live a long and healthy prosperous life❤

We all knew Elon was a genius, but we didn't get to see his personality until recently. I love how excited he gets watching his rockets perform as designed. He has a great sense of humor, very quick! I'm grateful he has shown that side of himself to us. Elon cannot be bought. With his bankroll, he did what so many of us only wish we could do. Elon, the world absolutely loves you 💯, but more importantly, the strongest love comes from the U.S.A.‼️
❤️🇺🇸💙

She uses TV to attack the people with whom they disagree. Tag. You're it!

[totokamoto]

How I loathe this Leslie woman who doesn't know shame. 🙄

[CB-hwiu]

According to her the media is not to be made fun of or critiqued.

[larissalavender]

It’s gross how she is clearly trying to get him to admit things he hasn’t done and wants him to oppose Trump so badly

[brianw]

She’s trying so hard to manipulate w/o looking like she trying to manipulate

[Sarasdad]

Notice how Elon is very careful when talking about his disagreements with Trump. Very professional.

[Genecrane]

Have TWEETER..Will USE. Why have Twitter if you can't use your Tweeter.

[JennyNelson-oi]

😮 I didn’t realize she was still alive!!!

[HangoutByTheSea]

Some people use their Elon, you are a hoot! C thank you for standing with Trump and serving in the

[kennethtodd]

Her time has passed unless she gets with it

[calpauly]

The news is not supposed to be so biased. Just tell the news and let us decide. So unprofessional!

[DHJames]

If Elon hadn’t joined forces with Trump, I think many of us wouldn’t have seen a different side of Elon - being so charming, his blatant honesty, and he’s hilariously funny. I think Trump really brought out Elon’s personality. What a team Trump is putting together. ❤🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[lostsoul]

''.. some people use their hair'' 😂 🔥 ohh the burn.

[Kristina-zjje]

I’ve been intrigued by Elon for years now. Years ago I wanted to find out all there was to know about Elon. Go figure. Now he’s holding this powerful position.

[KingJesusRULZ]

"Some people use their hair".
✨😂😂✨

[NowStopandThink]

Elon, I love and agree with most of what you stand for, and am eternally grateful for your role in saving this country. Energy independence is more crucial than jumping wholesale into EVs though.
