‘I Hear He is FURIOUS!’ Fox’s Brian Kilmeade Reveals Trump Is Irate Over Elon Musk Trashing His ‘Big Beautiful’ Bill
Arguably no show on cable news provides a better window into President Donald Trump’s thinking than Fox & Friends. And on Wednesday, one of the hosts revealed the president — though he may not be saying it publicly — is seeing red over Elon Musk trashing his “Big, Beautiful” budget bill.
During a discussion about Musk in the 7 a.m. ET hour on Wednesday, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade shed some light on Trump’s current feelings about the man he tapped to oversee DOGE.
“I think the Elon Musk thing really caught the president by surprise,” Kilmeade said. “And I hear he is furious!”
Still, Kilmeade’s next comments offered a preview of Trump’s likely response — or non-response, as it were.
“I think he’s so smart to keep his powder dry,” Kilmeade said. “Because it just plays into what critics would have to say, ‘The right can’t get out of their own way.’ Instead, you have a goal: Pass it. Elon Musk is not in the Senate or the House. Don’t worry about it.”
Co-host Lawrence Jones tried to paint a more rosy picture — arguing that Musk is still a Trump ally despite launching a scorched earth attack on the president’s signature legislation.
“I don’t think Elon is anti-MAGA now, or anti-the president now,” Jones said. “He worked so hard, put a lot of stuff on the line to get a lot wasteful stuff cut.”
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt, in response, suggested the fences may not be so easy to mend.
“I was shocked to hear him say that,” she said. “I can understand why the president would not be happy about that.”
