Part 3/12:
Further insights from the speaker highlight how prominent personalities like Elon Musk and Trump are adept at managing the press, often creating staged dramas for strategic advantage. For example, former Fox News anchor Megan Kelly recounted her encounter with Trump, mentioning how he deliberately fosters drama to dominate news cycles. Trump’s subtle messaging during a recent statement—saying he "wishes Elon well"—was interpreted as a sign that the supposed fallout was orchestrated or at least not genuine.
In the same vein, Elon Musk also took steps to restore his relationship with the narrative by removing controversial tweets about Trump, suggesting that both figures possibly engineered the drama for mutual benefit: keeping the media attention high and the market volatile in their favor.
