Today’s “Race to the White House” reporting from ABC serves as the network’s latest submission as the most Trump-hostile and Harris-servile. What was billed as a campaign roundup turned out to be little more than a shameless attack on X owner Elon Musk.
Watch as presidential debate co-moderator David Muir and Senior Campaign Correspondent Rachel Scott team up to frame Musk as a “controversial billionaire”, repeating that phrase multiple times within a short period of time not unlike a mantra:
DAVID MUIR: Former President Donald Trump speaking to business leaders in New York, saying he'll put controversial billionaire Elon Musk in a key role in a Trump administration. Election Day now 60 days away. Here's Rachel Scott.
RACHEL SCOTT: Today, Donald Trump announcing a major role in his administration for the world's richest man, promising to put controversial billionaire Elon Musk at the head of a new government commission to crack down on fraud and waste.
DONALD TRUMP: A complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. Can't go on the way we are now. And Elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. It will be interesting. If he has the time, he'd be a good one to do it, but he's agreed to do it.
