Elon Musk and Trump.

Elon Musk said he and US President Donald Trump “almost always agree” on the same issues.

In an interview with Fox News’ Lara Trump on Saturday, the tech billionaire told Trump’s daughter-in-law that he considers the Republican leader a “friend” while discussing the dynamics of their working relationship.

“I do consider the President a friend. I think he considers me a friend and, you know, we get along very well,” Musk said. “I think probably if you ask us both the same set of questions in two different rooms, 80% of the time we’d come up with the same answer.”

While Musk didn’t specify any topics he and Trump have ever been at odds over, the Tesla head claimed the two “almost always agree,” particularly about government waste, while “ensuring the rule of law is followed.”
