Donald Trump praises Elon Musk, calling him the smartest person working for America
Washington, DC: On Tuesday (US Local Time), US President Donald Trump praised Tesla CEO Elon Musk as the most intelligent individual to work for the US and highlighted his technological prowess, highlighting Starlink in particular. He also approved Musk’s return of two American astronauts who had been in the International Space Station.
He made the comments in an exclusive conversation with Fox News, where Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, and US President Donald Trump addressed some of the most important issues.
US President Donald Trump added, “They tried it,” in reference to the media’s repeated attacks on the pair. Then they came to a halt. Elon really gave me a call. “They’re trying to drive us apart,” he continued. “We have breaking news,” they said. Elon Musk has taken over the presidency from Donald Trump. Tonight at eight o’clock, President Musk will be present for a cabinet meeting. It is simply so clear. They’re very awful at it. They were terrific at it, I thought.
They are very poor at it because I believe no one in history has ever received more negative press than I have; therefore, if they were brilliant at it, I would never be president. But Elon, do you know what I’ve discovered? They’re intelligent. They understand. They understand. They can really see what’s going on.
Donald Trump acknowledged his friendship with Elon Musk by saying, “I respect him.” He has always been revered by me. I had no idea that he was correct about certain things. And I’m generally rather proficient in this area. He completed Starlink. His actions were so sophisticated that no one could possibly understand what they were.
Trump used the example of how residents of North Carolina, which was devastated by the tragedy, asked to use Starlink, something the US president had never heard of before.
“They truly need it,” I told Musk over the phone. Additionally, he received hundreds of units of this message, which helped save many lives. Donald Trump said, “I thought that was pretty amazing that he got it right away.”
Trump spoke about how Elon Musk pointed out to him that many executive directives never get carried out. “I needed someone with a lot of national intelligence to collaborate with me… He is a leader. Yes. He completes it. I was hoping to discover someone more intelligent than him. I looked everywhere. I just couldn’t. No one was more intelligent for the nation, in my opinion. But here’s the deal. “This guy was our choice,” he continued.
“At the President’s request or instruction, we are accelerating the return of the astronauts, which was postponed kind of to a ridiculous degree,” Musk stated in reference to NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore who are currently in orbit. They were abandoned in space. They have experienced it. Eight days was the estimated duration of their stay. There are over 300 of them.
According to Musk, the astronauts will return after four weeks. “And the all-clear is yours. US President Trump said, “We’re bringing them.”
