00:00Elon Musk massively criticized Nigel Farage,

00:03said he wasn't fit to lead the Reform Party.

00:05Do you think that that will influence Trump?

00:08Do you think Trump will be less friendly to Farage now?

00:11I think Trump's friendly to a lot of people,

00:13a lot of heads, a lot of world leaders, a lot of politicians.

00:16That's what makes everybody uncomfortable.

00:18So he'll continue to be friendly with Farage.

00:20But I think it's going to be-

00:21Does he listen to Musk?

00:23Would that have damaged, in a sense,

00:26the president's view of Farage?

00:28I believe so.

00:30Listen, what I've learned over the years

00:32as President Trump is that he put us a lot of weight

00:33in people who've created things,

00:35disruptive people who've created things.

00:37And there's nobody in the world today

00:38that's the most disruptive,

00:40who's created wealth than Elon Musk.

00:41So he's going to listen to what Elon has to say

00:43in these things, and it's going to have an impact.

00:45It's going to matter.

00:46I mean, Nigel Farage is a much smaller person

00:49today in Donald Trump's eyes than he was two weeks ago

00:51as a result of Elon's tweet and engagement on this issue.
