“I think he wanted to step down. I think that’s a good way of stepping down, you know, just losing a poll and saying: ‘I’m outta here,'” Trump said of Musk during an appearance on One America News on Tuesday.
When asked on One America News if he had any advice for Musk, Trump said Musk needs a replacement who wears “a lot of different hats.”
“That’s not an easy thing to find in that world, you need technology, you need politics. You need, sort of, everything,” Trump said. “And you have to have business sense, a good business sense. So it’s going to be interesting to see who that is.”
Trump also lauded Musk for releasing the “Twitter Files,” which showed then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign asking Twitter in 2020 to remove tweets — including nude photos and videos — about Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
“It’s a very important part of his legacy, I’ll tell you that,” Trump said of the “Twitter Files,” calling them “more important” than anything else Musk has done.
“I’d say he’s a hero,” Trump added.
“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” Musk tweeted on July 11. Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.
Representatives for Trump and Musk did not immediately respond to Insider’s requests for comment.
