4:55Now PlayingDuring a recent interview with Fox News, Elon Musk made it clear that Donald Trump is going to launch massive investigations into the “funding” of the protests against Tesla. This statement was less about the “funding” of the protests and more about how much control Elon has over Trump and the entire federal government. Protesting is perfectly legal, but because Elon doesn’t like it he’s going to use the full force of the US government that is apparently at his disposal. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During a recent interview with Fox News, Elon Musk ended up boasting about how much control he has over Donald Trump without ever once actually having to say that he has complete control over Donald Trump. So here's what happened. Elon Musk was talking to Fox News about how
Horrible it is that people are protesting Teslas. It's not fair to the workers.
You don't give a about the workers. That's why you won't let 'em unionize. You care about yourself. And the fact that you've lost $140 billion so far this year, that's what's getting under your skin. You could end up losing your status as the world's richest man by the end of the year if this pace continues. So Elon Musk made a passionate plea on Fox News, while of course, also admitting that he is basically controlling the entire federal government. Here is what Elon Musk had to say.
I think a great wrong is being done to the people of Tesla and to our customers. What's
Happening, it seems to me, is they're being fed
Propaganda by the far left and they believe it. It's really unfortunate.
He then claimed that the real problem isn't the crazy guy who attacks his vehicles, but rather
The people that push the propaganda that encourages them to do it. Those are the real villains here, and we're going
To go after them. The president has made it clear we're going to go after them. The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we're going after them. Musk said casually pointing his fingers in the shape of a gun. Okay? Um, that of course is reporting from the New Republic there. Uh, now I I will say Elon Musk is actually known to do that quite frequently. So I don't think that really is like a threat, like we're gonna go after you. Um, maybe, maybe not. Again, context is everything. Elon Musk does weird hand gestures sometimes, right? Um, but don't put anything past him either. However, what he is telling us right here is that these people protesting these people out there, you know, talking about the protests, saying all the horrible things about Tesla, like, you know, they are in fact the most recalled vehicle of the year, 2024. Uh, they recently just recalled almost 100% of all of their cyber trucks over a very serious issue. Uh, 'cause they used bad glue like in the movie Matilda, the book Matilda. Um, so yeah, apparently that's propaganda that's going to get us pu us punished even though we are constitutionally protected to say and do these things. We're not constitutionally protected to light a Tesla on fire. Uh, that's not domestic terrorism, however, that's vandalism. But Elon Musk doesn't care. He is using his power over Donald Trump to use the entire federal government to quote, come after us.
That is what he is doing. That is what he is bragging about. I control Trump and because I don't like these protesters, we're coming after them. We're coming after the people funding the protesters. What kind of funding do you think there is? By the way, and I love that Republicans always go to that. Like, dude left is funding the protest. How? Like, where's the fund? What bank is it sitting in? Those are things that are very easily traceable. And if they existed, y'all could find it out like that. But yet, in spite of all of the claims years and years and years of protests, who the left is funding this, you have never been able to find a bank account. You've never been able to find a pay stub. You've got infiltrators all over on the right that would love to go and get that scoop, and yet none of them have, huh?
