Kid Rock dishes on Elon Musk

Kid Rock recently joined Jesse Watters for a conversation about the current political landscape and the upcoming speech at the Capitol. As the President made his way to deliver his address, the discussion turned toward the dramatic shifts that have taken place since the inauguration, just over a month ago.

Kid Rock expressed his amazement at the President’s ability to transition from a business background into politics seamlessly. He pointed out that the President made a list of promises, and, rather than just talking about them, has been actively checking them off one by one. “He’s kicking ass and taking names,” he remarked, emphasizing his admiration for the President’s straightforward approach.

The conversation then moved to the anticipated reactions from Democrats during the speech. Watters speculated about potential stunts or disruptions, asking Kid Rock for his thoughts. Kid Rock didn’t hold back, advising, “Maybe just shut up, sit there, and learn something.” He referenced previous instances where opposition figures made dramatic gestures, such as Nancy Pelosi tearing up a speech, arguing that such antics accomplish nothing productive. Instead, he suggested that those who oppose the President should accept reality and move forward.

Watters brought up the importance of respecting the office of the President, noting that Kid Rock had even performed at President Obama’s inauguration, despite differing political views. Kid Rock agreed, stressing that political opponents need to recognize the significance of the presidency rather than constantly opposing for opposition’s sake. He criticized the Democratic Party’s messaging over the past four years, saying it had been weak and ineffective. “They are still bitter because their message has been terrible,” he remarked, urging them to focus on real solutions instead of endless resistance.

Expressing optimism about the current administration, Kid Rock shared that he had never been more excited about the team surrounding the President. He mentioned knowing many of them personally and attending recent events like the Daytona 500, where he felt a strong sense of patriotism and unity. “America is back, baby!” he declared, reinforcing his belief that the country is moving in a positive direction.

The conversation then shifted to Elon Musk, whom Kid Rock had recently met while golfing with the President. Musk, along with his mother, joined them for the last few holes of the game. Kid Rock described Musk’s latest tech development—an app featuring a mode called “Unhinged”—as wild and entertaining. He praised Musk’s fearless approach to innovation, stating that it was both fun and boundary-pushing.

The interview concluded with lighthearted banter, as Watters joked about being banned from Kid Rock’s parties. The overall tone of the discussion was energetic and passionate, with Kid Rock reaffirming his support for the President and his administration. His perspective was clear: he appreciates decisive leadership, respects the office, and believes that the country is on the right track under the current administration.
