What fueled the public feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk? Journalist Ray Hanania suggests reporters are spending too much time on the rhetoric, and not seeking the real story.

In this episode of the Crisis Cast, Thom Serafin chases answers to what sent President Trump and his DOGE leader Musk into a relationship tailspin. Hanania reminds us of what he says is the President's major motivator: media shock value. He cautions that "perspective journalism" is leading us farther from the truth.
