President Donald Trump and Elon Musk told Sean Hannity in an interview in the Oval Office that the media wants them to “divorce.”

Liberals claim that Trump will get tired of sharing the spotlight with the billionaire since he said Musk would run the Department of Government Efficiency, which isn’t really a government agency. In a clip from an interview that aired on Friday’s “The Five,” Trump and Musk told Hannity that the media would not “divorce” them.

The next time they talked, both billionaires agreed with Hannity that the “old media” was trying to make them dislike each other:

Hannity: “You’re both aware, you have to be keenly aware that the media and the punditry class — I think you’ve proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything they had at you and they didn’t win. And that was, you know, The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks, every late-night comedy show, two cable channels. They just, they threw everything. Lawfare, weaponization.”

Trump: “True.”

Hannity: “And now I see, they want you two to — they want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other. And they try, oh, President Elon Musk, for example. You do know that they’re doing that to you?”

Trump: “Oh, I see it all the time. They tried it. Then they stopped. They have many different things of hatred. Actually, Elon called me. He said, you know, they’re trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely. No, they said, we have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at eight o’clock. And I say, it’s just so obvious. They’re so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They’re actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I’d never be president. Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things, I get 98 percent bad publicity. I could do — outside of you and a few of your very good friends.”

Hannity: “Right.”

Trump: “It’s like the craziest thing. But, you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it.”

Musk: “Yeah, they do, actually.”

Trump: “They get it.”

Musk: “Yeah.”

Trump: “They really see what’s happening.”

Musk: “Yes.”

WATCH:

DOGE chair Elon Musk is calling on the GOP-controlled Congress to draft a “wave of impeachments” for federal judges after a court in D.C. ordered the Trump administration to restore federal health datasets that were taken offline.

“There needs to be an immediate wave of judicial impeachments, not just one,” Musk said on his X platform in response to a claim of a conflict of interest involving U.S. District Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee.

Bates’ ruling followed an executive order issued by President Trump which banned the promotion of “gender ideology” by the government. Bates ruled in favor of Doctors for America (DFA)—a progressive physicians’ advocacy group that argued the removal violated federal law.

In a separate matter, Musk called for the impeachment of another federal judge after a ruling temporarily blocked his Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) access to Treasury Department data.

Trump has maintained that he will comply with court orders that restrict parts of his agenda, though on Wednesday morning he questioned the recent rulings that have stalled some of his administration’s initiatives.

“DOGE has found massive amounts of FRAUD, WASTE, INCOMPETENCE, AND ABUSE, but even knowing this, a highly political, activist Judge wants us to immediately make payment, anyway. In other words pay, even though you know the payment was fraudulently requested to be made. DOGE caught them – The Judge just doesn’t care. It doesn’t make sense!!!” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform.

It’s likely that the Trump administration will appeal the rulings, and in some cases – such as his order banning birthright citizenship – the president has sought federal court challenges and eventual Supreme Court rulings to settle certain issues once and for all.

Meanwhile, a Republican congressman said this week that he has drafted articles of impeachment against a federal judge who barred DOGE from accessing Treasury Department payment systems, Newsweek reported.

Arizona Representative Eli Crane stated on X (formerly Twitter) that Manhattan-based U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer was “attempting to stop White House employees from accessing the very systems they oversee.”

He issued a preliminary injunction that prevents DOGE—a group that isn’t an official government department—from accessing Treasury Department records containing the personal financial data of millions of Americans. The order also requires DOGE to destroy any such records it acquired since January 20, according to Newsweek.

In his ruling, Engelmayer cautioned that the sudden policy change could lead to the leaking of personal information or compromise Treasury systems through hacking. He also noted that state legal proceedings regarding access to Treasury data would likely determine that DOGE’s demands lack proper legal justification.
