Elon Musk took aim at Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) in a candid interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, comparing the extreme anti-Trump hysteria to a combination of methamphetamine and rabies.
Musk shared a personal experience from a recent Los Angeles dinner party, where simply mentioning President Donald Trump’s name triggered a visceral, almost unhinged reaction from other guests. He described the behavior as irrational and uncontrollable, highlighting how deep-seated anti-Trump sentiment has warped political discourse.
“It’s like they got injected with meth and rabies at the same time,” Musk joked, pointing out how even casual conversations about Trump seem to push certain people into a frenzied state.
From Liberal Darling to Conservative Ally
During the discussion, Musk reflected on how his political standing has shifted. Once celebrated as a visionary tech leader by the Left, Musk says he’s now vilified by liberal elites simply for advocating free speech and questioning progressive orthodoxy.
Musk, who once identified as a centrist, has increasingly aligned with Trump’s agenda, particularly on economic growth, government efficiency, and opposition to censorship. His embrace of Trump’s policies has fueled relentless media attacks and efforts to paint him as a right-wing extremist.
“I used to be adored by the Left,” Musk noted. “Now, because I support free speech and think Trump was actually a good president, they treat me like the enemy.”
Media Tries to Divide Musk and Trump—They’re Not Buying It
Musk and Trump also discussed how the mainstream media has worked overtime to manufacture tension between them, attempting to create a rift that doesn’t exist. Trump dismissed the media’s efforts, stating that the American people see through the deception.
Musk reinforced his respect for Trump’s leadership, particularly his economic policies and push to dismantle bloated government bureaucracy. Both men remain focused on taking action rather than engaging in petty political games, despite relentless attacks from Democratic operatives and their media allies.
Trump and Musk: A Power Duo That Drives the Left Insane
As the political establishment and media elite continue their anti-Trump hysteria, Musk’s open criticism of left-wing authoritarianism and media manipulation only further solidifies his status as one of the most influential voices of the modern conservative movement.
His blunt assessment of Trump Derangement Syndrome resonates with millions of Americans who have watched Democrats and the media spiral into absurdity over their hatred of Trump. While the Left remains obsessed with tearing down Trump and his allies, Musk and Trump are laser-focused on rebuilding America—and they’re making it clear that no amount of media outrage will stop them.
