President Donald Trump and Elon Musk sat down for an interview with Sean Hannity, which was broadcasted on Fox News.
Musk was quick to flatter Trump in the interview and claimed the media was 'unfairly' attacking the President.
US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says Musk also revealed he was going to endorse Trump for President 'anyway', but last year's assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania 'speeded up' the process.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lots of talk of a meeting between Trump and pushin.
Dan Mitchison is a US correspondent. Dan, Good afternoon, Hey,
good afternoon, Ryan. How soon could we see this?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh? I don't know. I think this is going to
be a long time in coming. I mean, you know,
as you heard Donald Trump, well you know, mister Trump
said that this could have been solved a long time ago.
But it's a good start, I guess. I mean there's
three main goals here. They want to restore staffing at
the end of season Washington and Russia according to both countries.
They want to create this high level team to support
(00:29):
Ukraine peace talks, and they want to explore closer relationships,
and I guess more economic tized going on. But here's
the thing. I mean, no officials from Ukraine were present
at that meeting. So how awkward is it to have
two countries talking about your own future and your own
fate and you don't have a seat at the table.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, I mean it's a little left out, but there
is still time. I mean they can include a presumably
later on down the track, once things are a bit
more firmed up.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, yeah, I would, I would, I would hope. So
at this point in time. But right now, as we
know that the relationship between mister Trump and Ukraine is
not the best like it was with former President Biden,
so it'll be interesting to see. And again, right now,
Trump thinks that there should have been concessions to Russia
before the invasion happened almost three years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Speaking of Trump, he and Elon Musk have just done
a joint interview on Falks.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
What's happened then, Well, you know, there's a lot of
the stuff that we knew about already, this bromance going
on between the two. But one of the interesting points
that they brought up during the interview that seemed to
surprise Donald Trump was Elon Musk said that he was
going to endorse President Trump even before that attempt on
his life in Pennsylvania, but he said once that happened,
(01:43):
that kind of sped up his decision a little bit.
And Trump kind of turned to Musk and said, well,
I didn't know that was kind of it, he said,
And then Musk said, I was going to do it anyway.
But it's kind of interesting to watch these two go
back and forth. And I mean, this was supposed to
focus on the first one hundred days of President Trump's administration,
and Musk kind of goes off on this tangent talking
(02:04):
about Trump derangement syndrome, and he says he didn't realize
it was a real thing until he was at a
friends dinner party a couple of months before the election,
and he said, people look like they got I think,
he said, shot with the dart in the neck and
it was like they were on meth and rabies right now.
And he said he really was surprised about how adamant
people were against voting for for the president at the time.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Goodness me KFC, and we love a bit of KFC
here in New Zealand. Is it going to turn into TFC?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, it's interesting because first they took the Kentucky out
of KFC, and now they're taking the KFC out of Kentucky,
so they're moving it to Texas to foster. They're saying
this collaboration among brands and employees. I don't that sounds
like somebody in the PR department just wrote that up.
But basically they're also telling all the remote employees they've
got to get back to where the work happens. And
(02:53):
what's interesting, though, is that This is becoming more common,
not just with KFC, but with companies moving out of
states like California into Texas where they had better tax
breaks and the cost of living is less and the
cost of doing business is last. And it's also been
a problem for a lot of overseas companies. They've been
looking to move to states like California or Washington or Oregon.
(03:13):
Texas has just become very an inviting place to do business.
So you not only have these businesses that are moving,
but a lot of people that are moving to that
part of the US over here. But it'll be interesting
to see. And you're right about KFC being popular in
New Zealand. I think they're the second most popular fast
food restaurant behind McDonald's, not just in New Zealand but
in the world.
