On Tuesday, the American channel Fox News interviewed the fashionable duo: Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The journalistic approach was surprising, because American presidents are usually accompanied by the vice president, and not by a presidential adviser without legal authority to make government decisions. Musk is the leader of the new Department of Government Efficiency, the DOGE. However, the tycoon showed up at the interview wearing a T-shirt that read: 'Tech supportOn his chest, as if he were the West Wing's battle computer. However, the communications people made sure that the staging conveyed the maximum possible authority to the couple. They had six flags behind them: the American flag, the presidential flag and the four representing their armed forces – the US Army, the US Army, the US Army; marine and the naval force. All this iconography shows that Musk is actually a government figure, and that the duo is meant to project an image of authority and direct action.
Sean Hannity, the Fox journalist, was so happy to be chosen that he did not know what to do next. Throughout the twenty-minute conversation, he maintained a servile and complacent attitude, explaining his thirty-year friendship with Donald Trump. Displaying his closeness to the president, he revealed to the viewers that he did not know anyone who could have endured everything that Trump had to endure. Hannity began by highlighting the paradox of this pairing, taking into account that years ago Trump sued Twitter and the company had to compensate him. He assured that there was no crack of resentment left in this future path that the couple is embarking on. The president and Musk relativized the tensions of the past by displaying an unconditional and very solid bond.And I love the president"Musk said, and Trump thanked him: "How nice..." he said, laughing. He then praised him several times for his extremely high IQ: "I have not met anyone more intelligent," he admitted. joke In an institutional interview, Hannity worriedly warned them that the left-wing media wanted to drag them into the breakup: "They want you to get divorced," he informed them. And the two protagonists had to reassure him by assuring him that they were aware of this and that they had already talked about it. The journalist insisted on glossing Musk's figure so that people would see that he is not the devil that some media portray him to be, and he stressed that he wanted viewers to understand what relationship they have. Every time Trump answered the questions, Musk looked at him nodding, demonstrating a special rapport. Hannity acted almost like the host of a dating show who wants to convince the audience of the true love of the contestants. Fox consummated the idyll of the most powerful couple of the moment. The formal, official and visible marriage between political and economic power, normalizing the path towards an oligarchic regime.
