Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former U.S. President Donald Trump recently participated in their inaugural joint interview with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity. During the conversation, they exchanged compliments and deliberated on Musk’s advisory role and the White House’s perspective on his influence. Donning a t-shirt that proclaimed “Tech Support,” the billionaire highlighted his essential function of providing technological advice to the president.
Trump reciprocated the praise by describing Musk as “a great person,” “an amazing person,” and “a caring person,” while noting his ability to attract exceptionally intelligent young individuals, whom he affectionately termed high-IQ individuals.
Throughout the interview, Trump humorously remarked on how the younger staff at his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including Musk, tend to dress. “What [Musk] does is he takes it and with his hundred geniuses,” Trump remarked. “He has some really brilliant young people working for him who dress a lot worse than he does, actually. They wear t-shirts. You wouldn’t guess they have a 180 IQ.”
Trump also reminisced about Musk bringing attention to a recurring issue with government directives: “This is likely true for all presidents: you issue an executive order thinking it’s sorted. You distribute it. [Yet] it doesn’t get executed. They fail to implement it. They might be from the previous administration, and often they are. You strive to eliminate them as quickly as possible.”
Elon Musk reveals his “tech support” T-shirt
Earlier in the program, Musk presented his T-shirt that said ‘tech support,’ stating, “because I’m here to provide the president with technological assistance.”
The tech mogul wore the same black t-shirt while participating in a video conference at the World Government Summit in Dubai, humorously declaring that he was the “White House’s tech support.”
He also donned the Tech Support t-shirt during his recent Oval Office visit, sharing a photo on X, stating, “Wearing my TECH SUPPORT shirt today! What more proof could they possibly need?”.
