MSNBC's Michael Steele uses Trump's 'sad PR stunt' to dump all over Elon Musk

On Sunday morning, MSNBC host Michael Steele used Donald Trump's attempt to boost Tesla sales by turning the front of the White House into a car lot, to make his feelings known about billionaire Elon Musk.

After noting that Tesla's stock is in a death-spiral, he called the White House stunt "a sad PR stunt," before pointing out he has never had an interest in Musk's cars dating back long before the billionaire became Donald Trump's shadow and set about dismantling the government.

"Look, I never had a desire for one of these cars because of the man who designed the car," he told his MSNBC "The Weekend" co-hosts.

"So even back in the day, not like, even like a year?" co-host Symone Sanders Townsend asked.

"You know my mama taught me how to read, and she taught me how to read people and I saw this coming a long time ago," he explained. "It's the reason why I said every Bond villain rolled into one, you know? They they look good, they sound good, and they produce great stuff, you know, that lulls the masses into, 'Oh, wow, he's a great guy because he produces a car I like,' or 'He shoots rockets to the moon.'"

"But you've got to peel all that back, folks, and read what's on the next page," he elaborated. "And the next page will tell you what his history has been, what people say about him in his business, and how he runs his business. And if if you want to know everything you need to know, just look what he did with Twitter. I mean, that's what he's doing now."
