Elon Musk Ripped To Shreds After Saying Trump Is 'An Honest Man' With A Straight Face

Billionaire Elon Musk was ridiculed after claiming during a Fox News interview that President Donald Trump is an "honest man," prompting people to immediately call him out for gaslighting.

When network anchor Bret Baier asked Musk if there is "something people don't know about the president" given the amount of time he and Musk spend in proximity," Musk gave the following response:

"The president is a good man. I think he is an honest man. I have yet to see him do anything mean or anything that is wrong, that I would say morally wrong."

"Not even once."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

It sure seemed like Musk was talking about a different person and not the same man we see and experience each day.

The same man who has spent years lying about the integrity of the 2020 election and was last year convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election?

The same man who a jury ruled was responsible for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages as the appropriate consequences for Trump's persistent dissemination of false defamatory statements after Carroll said Trump had sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City?

The same man who has falsely claimed that President Joe Biden is behind his prosecution in the now dismissed election interference case and that he is the victim of a "witch hunt"? The same man who says he is entitled to personal attacks against his political opponents and suggested they be tried before military tribunals?

How about the man whose persecution complex is so encompassing that he openly panders to evangelicals and white nationalists by casting himself as a Messiah figure?

The same man Musk backs with no sense of irony despite Trump's very, very long record of misdeeds—financial or otherwise—over many decades?

This sure said a lot about Musk's own morals—and people were quick to criticize him.

The pile of lies Trump tells grows higher and higher on a regular basis but perhaps few facts underscore the extent of his dishonesty than a Washington Post analysis that found that Trump made 30,573 false or misleading statements during his first administration.

But please, Elon, tell us more.
