Former CNN host Jim Acosta criticized Elon Musk after his departure from a government role under Donald Trump's administration, likening Musk to 'expired, ultra-pasteurized milk.' Acosta voiced concerns about Trump's tariffs and relationships with allied nations, particularly Canada, asserting these 'cockamamie ideas' are alienating allies. Notably, Acosta shared insight from military leaders expressing alarm over Trump's approach to international relations. The commentary came during Acosta's appearance on MSNBC, where he and host Ali Velshi discussed the broader implications of Trump's foreign policy and Musk's controversial role in it.
Even when Elon Musk is standing there in the Oval Office and he's departing the administration, you know, I was talking to a Trump advisor the other day who said that Elon Musk had a sell-by date, but he was not a head of cabbage, Ali, Acosta said. He was more like expired, ultra-pasteurized milk. At some point, you got to throw that stuff out.
What is happening right now in terms of the U.S. relationship with Canada, where he continues with these cockamamie ideas that Canada is going to become part of the United States and so on. It is absolutely alienating our friends to the north.
I talk to diplomats, I talked to military leaders. You know they reach out to me from time to time. And I was just speaking with a retired general who was overseas in Western Europe just this past week.
Our allies over there in Western Europe are absolutely freaked out by the way Trump has been throwing his weight around the world.
