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.
