Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall as Elon Musk and Donald Trump hang out at Mar-a-Lago or at a SpaceX rocket launch?
I’ve got the next best thing.
She went on Stu Varney’s show today and it was a fascinating conversation!
They covered many different topics in the 7 minute interview, but most notable was when she explained what Elon’s friendship with President Trump is like.
First, here are a couple short clips and then I’ll post the full interview below:
MAYE MUSK: "I am very proud of Elon. I don’t like the words ‘wealthy’ or ‘billionaire’ because they feel degrading. I believe he is a genius of the world.
People are loving him for his genius. They love him because of what he does and they respect him." pic.twitter.com/jaMysVP6pA

And:
MAYE MUSK: "Since Elon showed the Twitter files where the FBI was paying millions to Twitter to stay Democratic and to get rid of the Republicans, I now don't trust the press and media at all." pic.twitter.com/ZAtQYISl1c

Fox News had more details on the interview:
Maye Musk, the mother of Tesla and SpaceX patriarch Elon Musk, is revealing what she’s observed behind the scenes as her son prepares to play a major role in President-elect Donald Trump’s White House.
“Of course, I’ve seen them together, but very shortly. I live in New York, and they’re in Mar-a-Lago or [a] SpaceX launch, and they just seem to be having fun. A lot of fun,” Musk said during an appearance on “Varney & Co.,” Tuesday.
“And it’s nice for both of them to have fun, and [Elon] really respects him a lot and is really happy that there’s a future for America now.”
Shortly after Trump’s election victory, he announced that Elon and former Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy would be teaming up to lead the first-ever Department of Government Efficiency, now known as DOGE, aimed at cutting wasteful federal spending.
Musk and Ramaswamy noted in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that they have already been working with the Trump transition team to “hire a lean team of small-government crusaders, including some of the sharpest technical and legal minds in America.”
Other general initiatives they hope to move forward include slashing industry regulations, reducing the federal workforce and saving taxpayer money.
“[He’s] very excited because it’s going to be very easy,” Maye Musk said. “I sat in the back, I sit behind [Elon] and I like to sit in on meetings, and Elon and Vivek and others were talking, and they said, first of all, come to work. I mean, isn’t that crazy, that buildings are empty?”
“The buildings are empty, and now you are paying for them, I’m paying for them. And I don’t think that’s fair,” she expanded. “When he bought Twitter, he found out that the building’s empty and nobody has to come in unless they want to meditate or something.”
Elon’s mom also warned against public and media figures who may try to come between Musk and Trump’s seemingly strong relationship.
ADVERTISEMENT“What they call mainstream media, but I call them dishonest Democrat media, they will be trying to break up the relationship. They will be hating everything,” Maye said. “And I told that to Elon, he said he expects that because they were dishonest before the election.”
When it comes to how the public describes her son, Maye Musk prefers to recognize him by his entrepreneurial spirit versus his net worth.
Here now is the full interview….
