CNN Anchor Stuns Elizabeth Warren By Reading Her Elon Musk’s Post Agreeing That Trump Will Tank The Economy

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins spoke to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) about the state of the presidential race on Tuesday night and ended the interview by reading her one of Elon Musk’s latest tweets on X.

Collins noted that the “economy has been such a pervasive issue in this. It’s one of the number one things we hear from voters. And a lot of them trust Donald Trump on this more. She’s cut his lead on that, certainly from from when it was Trump versus Biden in this race.”

“But I want you to respond to something, because speaking of billionaires, you know, Elon Musk today in a tweet said, quote, ‘It sounds about right,’ when someone on Twitter was predicting that if Donald Trump wins, there will be an ‘initial severe overreaction in the economy and that the market will tumble,’” Collins said to a stunned Warren, adding:

If that happens, the person later said there will be a rapid recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy. That came after. But what was your reaction to that call from Elon Musk, someone who obviously has played a major role in this race?

“You know, it’s that he’s saying the quiet parts out loud and and just being quite open about what economists, Nobel Prize winners, people who have real experience in an economy have been saying all along that Trump does not have an economic plan to help families and that, in fact, many of the things that he’s talking about doing by raising tariffs dramatically, by rounding up millions of people who live here and forcing them out of the country, that that is going to cause terrible economic problems,” Warren replied, concluding:

And, you know, they use the diplomatic language of, will cause markets to tumble because that’s how billionaires think about it. But let me just underscore, that means real live jobs for human beings who have to have a paycheck at the end of the month in order to be able to pay their rent. And Musk, Trump they say, what the heck? You know, they’ll be able to ride out a recession. They’ll be able to ride out the problems. But for families across this country, Musk is just saying out loud it will be a disaster for them. And that’s a guy who’s supporting Trump.
