The dust has not yet fully settled on the 2024 presidential election, and the Biden-Trump transition is in full swing. As the Regime Media shifts to Resistance mode, one focal point of coverage emerges: the relationship between President-Elect Donald Trump and Tesla/SpaceX founder Elon Musk, which will be covered as improper whenever possible. Watch as the CBS Evening News opened their newscast with the insinuation of undue influence exercised by Musk over the incoming Trump administration: CBS EVENING NEWS 11/19/24 6:31 PM NORAH O’DONNELL: Good evening, I'm Norah O'Donnell and thank you for joining us. We want to begin with President-Elect Trump and the influence of the world's richest man Elon Musk on the launch of the next Trump administration. The two men are near the southernmost point of Texas this evening for the latest test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket. Musk, meanwhile, has been helping to engineer Trump’s new administration. This wasn’t the only insinuation of undue influence, made painfully obvious by the screaming “INFLUENCE” graphic as Norah O’Donnell read through her introduction. Correspondent Caitlyn Huey-Burns deviated from the abortion beat and suggested that Musk’s support of Trump was underlied by some nefarious pecuniary interest: an unspoken quid pro quo, if you will: CAITLYN HUEY-BURNS: Good evening, Norah. Well, Elon Musk and the President-Elect have been virtually inseparable since the election but today's trip wasn't just an outing with friends, it also puts a spotlight on the relationship between Musk's businesses and the federal government. President-Elect Donald Trump and businessman Elon Musk took their friendship to Texas today to watch Musk's company SpaceX test its largest vessel. Commercial rocket launches like this one are regulated by the federal government, and SpaceX has complained that some of those regulations are slowing down technology. DONALD TRUMP: Elon, get those rocket ships going because we want to reach Mars before the end of my term. HUEY-BURNS: Trump has tapped Musk, now a fixture at Mar-a-Lago, to run a new group aimed at slashing federal bureaucracy. ELON MUSK: I think this is going to be the most transformative presidency, perhaps, since the founding of the country. HUEY-BURNS: And potentially transformative for his companies, SpaceX and Tesla, which already have more than $13 billion in government contracts. Huey-Burns doesn’t make clear for viewers how a Trump presidency is “transformative” for SpaceX and Tesla. She just makes the insinuation, without evidence, and leaves it to viewers to conjure up their own corruption adventure. Of course, this reporting is fundamentally unserious. The media are perfectly fine with billionaires dabbling in politics so long as they dabble in the right politics. No one blinked when Mark Cuban threw on the Rachel Maddow glasses and shilled for Kamala Harris. No one suggested nefarious quid pro quos or conflicts of interest. Cuban was a patriot, you see, exercising his First Amendment right to shill for the Regime. Likewise, no one gives a rip that Dauphin Prince Alex Soros routinely posts pictures of himself with captured Democrat politicians, in a manner reminiscent of a big game hunter posing with his trophies. Soros isn’t a problem, either.   Only Elon is an issue, because he chose to side with the Bad Orange Man. Actual journalism might consider delving into the reasons why the Obama/Biden voter felt compelled to support Trump this time around (hint: it has to do with free speech). But this is not journalism. This is merely regime propaganda identifying and smearing a dissident target- which proves that they’ve learned nothing from this election.

We want to begin with President-Elect Trump and the influence of the world's richest man Elon Musk on the launch of the next Trump administration. The two men are near the southernmost point of Texas this evening for the latest test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket. Musk, meanwhile, has been helping to engineer Trump’s new administration. Today the President-Elect picked celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That's essentially overseeing health insurance for over 160 million Americans. And investment banking CEO Howard Lutnick is being tapped to run the Commerce Department, which means he’ll take the lead in enacting Trump’s promised tariffs. And then starting tomorrow, two of Trump's most controversial picks will be on Capitol Hill with Vice President-Elect JD Vance. Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth will be working to win over any skeptical Republican senators in their bids to become Attorney General and Defense Secretary respectively. Well, this evening, a CBS News reporter asked Trump about his selection of Matt Gaetz. REPORTER: Mr. President, are you reconsidering the nomination of Matt Gaetz? DONALD TRUMP: No. REPORTER: How far are you willing to go to get him confirmed? O’DONNELL: We’ve got a team of correspondents covering the Trump transition tonight. CBS's Caitlin Huey-Burns is going to lead us off from West Palm Beach, Florida. Good evening, Caitlyn. CAITLYN HUEY-BURNS: Good evening, Norah. Well, Elon Musk and the President-Elect have been virtually inseparable since the election but today's trip wasn't just an outing with friends, it also puts a spotlight on the relationship between Musk's businesses and the federal government. President-Elect Donald Trump and businessman Elon Musk took their friendship to Texas today to watch Musk's company SpaceX test its largest vessel. Commercial rocket launches like this one are regulated by the federal government, and SpaceX has complained that some of those regulations are slowing down technology. DONALD TRUMP: Elon, get those rocket ships going because we want to reach Mars before the end of my term. HUEY-BURNS: Trump has tapped Musk, now a fixture at Mar-a-Lago, to run a new group aimed at slashing federal bureaucracy. ELON MUSK: I think this is going to be the most transformative presidency, perhaps, since the founding of the country. HUEY-BURNS: And potentially transformative for his companies, SpaceX and Tesla, which already have more than $13 billion in government contracts. TRUMP: You know, he likes this place. I can't get him out of here, he just likes this place. And you know what? I like having him here, too.  HUEY-BURNS: Meanwhile, Trump got some good news on the legal front, potentially a year's long pause in his sentencing in the criminal hush money case in Manhattan. Trump continues to fill out his top jobs, today naming celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and transition co chair Howard Lutnick to lead the Commerce Department. Musk had backed Lutnick, who is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, for Treasury. And he's going to bat for controversial former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, Trump's choice for Attorney General, saying he will be “our hammer of justice.”
