Bill O’Reilly Says Trump Will Move On From ‘Short Timer’ Elon Musk: ‘Can’t Have a Guy That Hot’

Conservative author and former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly suggested on Wednesday that the Trump administration ditch billionaire Elon Musk and let “the technicians” take over, arguing that Musk was “just too hot” to remain in his position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“As I said very early on, Musk is a short timer. It’s just too hot. You just can’t have a guy that hot,” said O’Reilly during an appearance on NewsNation’s Cuomo:

He did a good job exposing the government waste, bringing it back on to page one, but now the technicians should take over. You don’t need Elon to go out and sell, it’s sold, and most Americans know that we’re being fleeced, the taxpayer’s being fleeced, so he’s accomplished what he wanted to accomplish and I think he will remain a Trump adviser, but I do think he’ll go back to the private sector.

O’Reilly denied, however, that Musk had “anything to do with the [Supreme Court] loss in Wisconsin,” arguing, “It would have shown up on the exit poll. It’s very simple. I’m a fact-based guy.”

On the Republican candidate, Judge Brad Schimel, O’Reilly said, “I don’t know this guy who lost, so today I put my investigators on it. It wasn’t hard to get the exit polling information, and it came back: too conservative, way too strident on abortion, women broke big for the Democrats.”

O’Reilly concluded that Schimel also “wasn’t a good candidate, by the way.”
