U.S. President-elect Donald Trump claimed Musk can't be president amid speculation about the tech entrepreneur's influence in Republican politics.

President-elect Trump is pushing back after criticism of Elon Musk's influence on him over government affairs. MSNBC political analyst Alexi McCammond and Washington Post congressional investigations reporter Jacqueline Alemany join Richard Lui to weigh in.

Musk, the owner of car manufacturer Tesla and social media platform X, has been tapped by Trump to lead the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with biotech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, after vocally supporting and financially backing his campaign for president.
