During a CNN interview on Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) discussed the ongoing public feud between Elon Musk and President Trump.
Transcript
00:01Musk has evolved over the years.
00:04My understanding is he actually voted for Obama, I think, in 2008.
00:08But over the years he has developed into a right-wing extremist.
00:13The issue, and I think the drama, the story of what happened last week
00:18is you are living increasingly in an oligarchic society.
00:22And Musk said to Trump,
00:24Hey, listen, I spent $270 million to get you elected.
00:28I bought you the presidency because we have a corrupt campaign finance system
00:32and billionaires can do that.
00:33And Trump said,
00:34Well, I gave you the right to run the government for three or four months,
00:38but I don't like the guy you want to run NASA,
00:41and we're going to get rid of him.
00:42And Musk got upset.
00:43This is a fight between oligarchs.
00:46It's a fight among power, among the few,
00:49and it's really an embarrassment to those of us who believe in democracy
00:53and the rule of law.
