Elon Musk: Are you trying to assassinate me before this happens?

WATCH: They asked Elon Musk to give an estimate of how many federal employees he and Trump will fire, and his response was unfortunately sad, "Are you trying to get me assassinated before this even happens?"

He's not even joking. They've tried to take Trump out twice now. They can easily switch to targeting guys like Elon and RFK Jr., who they know will play key roles in Trump's next presidency.

They also asked him how serious Trump was about shrinking the size of government, and Elon said, "He is VERY SERIOUS about it." - Via @theallinpod
