CNN Scott Jennings puts head in trash representing Republicans feelings about Trump-Musk feud
Share this @internewscast.com

CNN’s conservative commentator Scott Jennings playfully placed his head in a trash bin on Thursday, illustrating the sentiment shared by many regarding President Donald Trump’s recent conflict with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Despite Musk’s previous strong support for Trump since the 2024 presidential election, the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief parted ways with the president over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Musk labeled as a “disgusting abomination” on X Tuesday.

This led to the two trading escalating barbs on social media, with Musk going so far as to claim Trump’s name is in the Jeffrey Epstein file.

Jennings tried to capture the sentiment felt by the Republican Party watching the feud while taking part in a panel on “The Lead with Jake Tapper.”

“Let me just tell you what every Republican is doing,” Jennings stated, reaching for a nearby trash barrel to mimic shoving his head into it. “Here’s where we are today. Heads are in the garbage can right now. That’s the state of everybody I know at the moment.”

In a more serious tone, he said, “Not gonna lie. It’s an ugly day and, you know, you hate it when your friends are fighting. I continue to believe that their partnership last year saved America, and I also continue to believe their goals are not mutually exclusive.”

Jennings added that Republicans need to work together to accomplish both Trump’s and Musk’s goals and warned that Democrats are “laughing and advancing” while they are fighting.

“Hopefully, cooler heads will soon prevail, and the president can get his agenda and Elon can convince the Republicans that the debt is a serious problem,” Jennings said.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is currently making its way through the Senate and would fund Trump’s agenda, including strengthening border policies and ending taxes on overtime and tips.
