A hot mic early Wednesday morning on Fox News caught someone‘s displeased reaction to a host’s prediction that Elon Musk’s influence on the next Trump administration and the Republican Party would only grow over the next few years. “Oh, lord!” was the response after host Bret Baier gave his post-election view of the GOP and its future trajectory. “It’s a multiracial party. It’s working-class. And maybe it’s the future. It’s Elon Musk, it’s Joe Rogan and podcasts. There’s an opportunity here for both parties to realign and change.” Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, is expected to work on Republicans’ behalf through at least the 2026 midterms, the billionaire Trump donor said on a recent X livestream.
