Three things:
1. This is a nonsense inquiry and basically all this Trump minion has got. Not impressed.
2. NPR gets less than 1 percent of direct funding from the feds. This will impact local stations, which have broad support.
3. Brendan is an unctuous toady.

Not exactly predicting when it is inevitable
Musk’s decision to reveal the rocky ground beneath Trump’s trophy deal, all while elevating his own know-how, could cause cracks in the powerful duo’s dynamic.

Elon doesn't like to share.

Kara Swisher predicted that the relationship between the two self-imagined strongmen is destined to flame out.
“They don’t actually have the money,” Musk wrote on X in response to a post from OpenAI announcing the digital infrastructure deal. “SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority.”
