Elon Musk on Trump Derangement Syndrome: "You don't realize how real it is until you see it"

Elon Musk opens up about his experience with 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' during 'Hannity' exclusive Fox News

Billionaire Elon Musk said he didn't realize "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was a real thing until he was at a friend's dinner party a month or two before the Nov. 5, 2024 presidential election.

"I happened to mention the president's name and it was like they got shot with a dart in the jugular that contained like methamphetamine and rabies," Musk said in a joint interview with President Donald Trump that airs Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 9 p.m. EST on "Hannity."

Musk imitated people at the party going crazy and questioned why they couldn't have a normal conversation.

"It's like they've become completely irrational," he told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Musk and Trump sat down for a wide-ranging interview last week at the White House, where they discussed the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) work, the first 100 days of the Trump administration and more. It marks the duo's first joint television interview.

The DOGE leader and the 47th president held a news conference at the Oval Office last week, taking questions from reporters about the unofficial government agency's role in the Trump administration and its plans to cut "waste, fraud and abuse" at the federal level.

DOGE has in recent weeks targeted the U.S. Agency for International Development, the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of Education.

Trump said he's instructed Musk to also look into the Pentagon, which hasn't passed an audit in years.

Man oh man I had direct experience with 5-6 women on social media thread 2 days ago, who all has full on TDS....It's a real thing ! Bat shit crazy, zero ability to reason, and facts are wholly dismissed.

ReRan · 2025-02-19T18:38:26Z

Gator I know a few like that. I don't talk to them.

Dwoods44 · 2025-02-19T18:59:58Z

Gator Belief systems shape perceived reality. I believed in 2015 that Trump was a crude, vain, uneducated and egotistical candidate. I voted for HRC, even though I questioned myself at the voting booth as she appeared incompetent.

The good thing was the questioning which led me to analyze everything Trump did during his first Presidency. I was still flexible enough to change belief systems.

Now I see Trump as the only individual who could have withstood the impeachment, lawfare, and negative media coverage. He is the only person with the will and drive to change the system through twitter and social media. Trump is street smart, talks and walks it.

Gator · 2025-02-19T19:42:02Z

Dwoods44 I completely agree !

Good Optics · 2025-02-19T21:03:31Z

Dwoods44 And, almost universally overlooked, there is the hard-ass fact that they tried to kill him, twice. And what effects might we surmise those acts precipitated ? Maybe something like, "Yeah ?...and fuck you, the horse you rode in on, all your pals and every bogus notion for which you try to skate a buy... assholes."

Giant Meteor 24 · 2025-02-21T23:25:21Z

Gator haha I live in Seattle. TDS is working protocol here. If I spoke up it'd be shit show. Bat shit crazy is it still bat shit crazy if it's the mainstream where you live? Brainwashing is ubiquitous here.

Elon commenting on his surprise after mentioning Trump's name in mixed company; " It's like they've become completely irrational, "

I would suggest that they were irrational long before Elon showed up at the party.

Add this to the 'Ukrainian Heroes', 'Human induced climate change' or the 'Safe and Effective' narrations and it's beginning to look a lot like everything people 'believe' is a lie.

Good Optics · 2025-02-19T21:21:31Z

Baybars

...it's beginning to look a lot like everything people 'believe' is a lie.

And has been as far back as anyone can look. Maybe all that has something to do with the fact there are those we can't see whose greatest interest is controlling an ignorant, unthinking populace whilst making life itself a misery to endure; upon which energies they feed.

Baybars · 2025-02-19T21:33:06Z

Good Optics I believe that. Even the Quran speaks of entities which live off of human suffering.

Here is a quote that popped up: "The Archons & Chimera both harvest negative spiritual energy (loosh) from the human slave farm across the astral plane of the dead or suffering of any living creature (mainly humans) on Earth. The head archon is known as Lord Lucifer or Satan, whom is the supreme leader of the dark forces that plague earth including the negatively oriented Greys, Reptilians, Khazarians, and Jesuits." [Link]

Good Optics · 2025-02-19T21:48:56Z

Baybars

The head archon is known as Lord Lucifer or Satan...

While I think the lead up is correct, I think the Big, Bad Honcho thing is more notional than factual.

Baybars · 2025-02-19T21:55:59Z

Good Optics Yes, I agree, but humans can't fathom such a force without it having some single point of control and direction. When trying to describe something 'non human' we tend to anthropomorphize to make 'it' more understandable.

Good Optics · 2025-02-19T22:54:05Z

T42 · 2025-02-19T21:49:30Z

I have a few friends who suffer the same thing, unable to talk about Trump or Putin, their brains kind of freeze, not able to process anything, even talking about the shit in our little country overwhelms them, the worst part is that these are smart successful people, not knuckle draggers, the irony of that is some of my knuckle dragging friends are way up there when it comes to world affairs, some love Trump and Putin others dislike them, but they are happy to talk about them in a sane fashion.

Baybars · 2025-02-19T22:00:50Z

T42 LOL!! To the wives of some of my friends, I am a 'knuckle dragger' for the same reasons; I need to discuss important events while the wives call me a bad influence on their husbands for deviating from the narration.

Those "smart successful people" have adapted to a very sick society.

davidfxl · 2025-02-20T15:21:43Z

I'm a Canadian and the TDS has fully infiltrated the minds here. Just about everyone I know goes on about Trump but not one has anything substantial to say why he's bad except his grating personality, but not what he actual does to change things in the US. Same for Putin about Russia. In a group setting you can tell those that don't have TDS as we are all silent as there is no discussion to be had.

davidfxl Me too!

Dwoods44 · 2025-02-21T06:04:29Z

davidfxl Since I believed it to some extent in 2015, I expect it. Trump is blunt, direct, and says things that shake people up, like Canada should be the 51st State.

That is why you have to think in terms of context. In the USA it is deep state. In the world it is globalist power structure, represented by WEF, the EU and NATO.

In Canada, it is Trudeau, a puppet to the UK and globalists. Trump stated the goal was to drain the swamp, dismantle the deep state. That is the context. Will Canada be affected by what happens? You bet.

Animanarchy · 2025-02-22T04:20:45Z

Dwoods44 My mom said "that asshole Trump has the whole world in an uproar" lol

Dwoods44 · 2025-02-22T11:54:48Z

Animanarchy It does bring joy to the heart...

Baybars · 2025-02-22T18:45:38Z

davidfxl That Canadians lack perspective while viewing international politics is entirely the fault of Trudeau's media, and the 'lefty' media that trickles into Canada.

It also does not help that Canadian education has been locked up tight by liberal/lefty/globalist ideology, so there is little hope that our young people will be able to look beyond the propaganda.

Will a 'new' government in Canada help this? LOL!!! I'm not holding my breath.

Ned Ludd · 2025-02-23T00:45:38Z

Baybars that's pretty much right on the spot.

Animanarchy · 2025-02-23T19:08:34Z

Baybars You're right. Like all grade nines in Ontario at least, not gonna bother looking up other provinces and territories, I was required to take a civics course that first year of high school and it was basically a load of propaganda about how Canada's government is the best ever.

I could even tell back then about a couple decades ago at 14 years old, which was about when I slowly started waking up, that they were trying to indoctrinate us to be loyal to authority and feel mistaken unjustified patriotism for following our patronizing politicians, it was so blatant, it was like a joke.

Dwoods44 · 2025-02-24T05:11:24Z

Baybars It would be revealing to see how Canadian education treats "global warming", "white privilege", "systemic racism", "group-think", "experts should be followed", "follow the science", "collective overrides the individual", etc.

Politics, it all relies on one simple fact...you have to care about something you have no ability to affect, while taking a position you will regret in short order.

I thank my lucky stars for being influenced by George Carlin, early in life.

I simply, dont care.

davidfxl · 2025-02-20T18:02:53Z

Carlin was awesome. Ya I don't really care either because each and everyone is only responsible for what they believe, woke, awake or indifferent.

Animanarchy · 2025-02-20T19:55:45Z

3.1415926535 I like his I don't vote clip. If one doesn't cast a ballot, one is not responsible for what their candidate does if that candidate wins and turns out to be awful in office.

I'll be 35 this summer in Canada and I've never voted. I don't have enough trust or faith in any politicians or political parties that I have the opportunity to support to want to take a chance doing so.

Giant Meteor 24 · 2025-02-21T23:32:11Z

3.1415926535 good approach! I've been cultivating that for awhile on subconscious level, though your statement brings it to the frontal lobe

The cult thrives on maintaining strict harmonious beliefs in attitude, opinions and behavior; discord and dissonance are adverted at all costs to maintain a false dogma; truth propels the group deeper into pseudo-beliefs and truth-telling is defamed; the result – cognitive dissonance.

dead fish go with the flow...just keep swimmingguard4her It is laughable when someone critiques your saviour and the recourse is to label them with TDS yet your myopic unilateral mind can not see that TDS is applicable to those who worship the businessman/actor/politician or those that vilify the man,

for the record I could care less about Drumpf or any po-LIE-tician but I digress as putting ones faith in someone else speaks volumes especially with their track record when the reality is no one is coming to save you,

Good luck and ya'll enjoy the reality check

LindaMay I understand many failed the global IQ test back in '20 & '21 to see who was stupid but the level of ignorance is laughable and sad at the same time,

Seeing folks flock to the new 'alt media' which is nothing more than some twats from the MSM who got the push and the digital herding has reached new levels,

Ignorance may be bliss for some but the writing has been on the wall forever it seems and over the past few decades the parasites that be have thumbed their noses and rubbed elbows with the same ol, same ol yet many are caught up with a few parlour tricks during the honeymoon phase....I feel like I am watching the Sting

Be well, laugh often and give no fucks, if you know, you know otherwise folks are dead fish going with the flow,

Quote of the Day

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.
