Musk and Trump put on lovefest in Sean Hannity interview

Pair spoke about each other in glowing terms, rejecting accusations of the billionaire usurping the president's limelight - and power

Donald Trump and his wealthiest backer, the multi-billionaire Elon Musk, expressed gushing admiration for each other in a Fox News interview in which each accused a critical media of trying to drive them apart.

Interviewed together in the White House, the pair spoke of each other in such warm terms that the interviewer, Sean Hannity, was moved to say: I feel like I'm interviewing two brothers here."
