Fox's Tarlov Whacks Musk On Conflicts: ‘Open Up Your Own Books!’

Much to the dismay of her counterparts on Fox, Jessica Tarlov took a whack at Musk for all his talk about transparency while targeting government agencies that are leading investigations and conducting oversight of Musk's businesses.

Tarlov made an appearance on this Wednesday's The Story With Martha MacCallum, and after a lot of nonsense from her fellow guest Rich Lowry about how Trump supposedly has a "mandate" for all this stuff that he did not run on, and denied knowing about since most of it is straight from the Project 2025 playbook, Tarlov hit Musk hard for not opening up his own books.

MACCALLUM: So this was never a secret, Jessica. I mean, all along the way during the campaign, President Trump talked about, then candidate Trump, Elon Musk is going to come in.

I think when they had discussions early on, Musk was like, this is what I want to do. I do this at my companies all the time. There is so much waste. Let me at it. And he said, yes, but it was no secret that this was going to happen.

TARLOV: No, absolutely not. And some people were caught flat-footed on it. A lot of people have been, you know, feeling pretty left adrift, let's say, by Democratic leadership in terms of the messaging about this.

I'm not interested in pillorying Elon Musk. I have tremendous respect for him and liberals, we used to love him, right? We're driving around in our Teslas, though the stock price is not doing so well lately.
