I think the way to think of me is like, I'm a technologist, and I try to make technologies that improve the world,' Musk detailed to Hannity in the bilateral interview.
'My t-shirt says tech support, because I'm here to provide the President with technology support,' the social media website CEO noted.
'And now 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.' Elon Musk divulged in a joint interview with Donald Trump that he is merely just 'tech support' for the president.
But Trump clarified that the billionaire's real role within the federal government is to cuts through the bureaucratic process and 'get it done.'
The president lamented to Fox News host Sean Hannity how executive orders are issued but not adopted effectively or in a timely manner.
But he claims that Musk managed to streamline the implementation.
Trump joked that he chose Musk as his right-hand-man this time around in Washington, D.C. because he 'couldn't find anyone smarter' than the Tesla and SpaceX boss.
He even said that his team looked for someone smarter to join the team to no avail.
Trump and Musk sat side-by-side for a wide ranging interview with Hannity that aired on Tuesday evening. The two showered compliments back-and-forth, prompting Hannity to say he felt like he was 'interviewing two brothers here.'
'I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in terms of the country, a very important aspect, because, I mean… he's actually a very good businessman,' Trump said of his so-called 'first buddy.'

Elon Musk revealed his 'tech support' t-shit during a joint interview alongside Donald Trump with Fox News host Sean Hannity where he detailed his role is to provide the technical support for the president
“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
So Musk is just an H1b. Glad to see Trump is applying the program as intended.
BTTT
This is why all the lawsuits against DOGE are going to fail. DOGE is simply gathering information. Trump will ultimately make the cuts. Musk and his team really are glorified tech support.
Dumpster diver in the Government dumpster.
Tech support problem for democrat deep staters: iphone wont link my bank account to the tax payer group targeted.
Obama/Biden tech support problem: iphone wont link bank account to Beijing bank and PRC party line blame narrative cor our lawyers
Musk is Trump’s wing man, a support he lacked the first time around.
He sure is... In more than one way. In the bigger picture what we are seeing is a power struggle between two factions. The old guard “heavy iron, boots on the ground” MIC, and the new technocrats who want to grab that power, control, and funding away from the old guard for their own new “Technocracy” agenda.
Musk is right now methodically taking out the old guard... And they are worried, especially Graham.
my only question is...WHERE can I get that “tech support” shirt? wouldn’t it be interesting if EVERY taxpaying American wore one of these shirts on a designated day, sort of like the “V for vendetta” masks?
Excellent Idea!!!
I believe Musk is a citizen.
I want this shirt to add to my "Occupy Mars" and "Raptor 3" shirt collection.
“I believe Musk is a citizen.”
He is, just having fun here.
The left is losing their collective empty heads with Elon being part of the solution but it was ok for the rats, 8 years of Obama and 4 with the dead man walking to assign people we never knew to control vital aspects of the government machine and our tax dollars. F them keep the train on the track and forge through, in the end I hope we prosecute those who stole our money
The story of Trump and Musk would fit beautifully in a science fiction novel.
I believe Samuel Clemens said: Fiction is harder to write, because it has to be believable.
He was saying truth is stranger than we can know, in another way.
God is in charge.
Man proposes. God disposes.
Yep, we have 4 years of them losing their minds, and then hopefully another 8+
Perhaps what’s needed is a new reality show to keep their minds occupied. We’ll call it “Reality Bites”, props to DOGE, and the show will interview weepy government workers about how they lost their job. It can follow them to all the bread lines and homeless shelters they have to go to, as their safe spaces are Bulldozed.
