Scaramucci: Elon Musk’s Relationship with Trump Is in a ‘Perilous Situation’

BLITZER: “Senior advisor Anthony Scaramucci. Anthony, thanks very much for joining us. You got a smile on your face right now. It looks like the ‘President Musk’ jokes are getting a bit under Trump’s skin. Anthony, you were once a key part of Trump’s inner circle in the White House. Do you see their relationship turning sour anytime soon?”

SCARAMUCCI: “Well, he doesn’t like it. But I think what’s happening is he also knows that a lot of the stuff coming from the left is premeditated. And so, that’s what’s shielding him for right now. But he won’t like it. The more attention Elon gets, if there’s a problem, he’ll look to blame Elon or somebody else on his team. You know, if you just look at what’s going on with Speaker Johnson right now, prior to getting that spending bill passed, they were calling him a Democrat. So, you know, it’s a perilous situation. There’s a honeymoon period going on right now. But trust me, he doesn’t like it. He wouldn’t be bringing it up if — if it didn’t bother him, Wolf, he wouldn’t be bringing it up. And so, you know, it’s like Shakespeare, thou doth protest too much.”

BLITZER: “Yeah, good point.”
