Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will release a book titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines on Oct. 21, detailing her time in the Biden White House. The American Spectator has obtained an exclusive excerpt. “You’re gonna make history, kid,” President Biden told me on May 16, 2022, when I became the first African-American immigrant lesbian with curly hair to serve as White House press secretary. “Thank you, Mr. President. I am a truly historic figure. Just ask me,” I modestly replied. “I knew you would make a great vice president when I picked you based on merit and not race or gender.” “I’m not Kamala Harris,” I told a president who was on top of his intellectual and physical game. “I also enjoy your CNN show, but why do you wear a suit and have a lower voice and shorter hair from 10 p.m. to midnight?” he said. “I’m not Don Lemon, either,” I replied. Unable to keep up with him running mental rings around me, I knew we had to get down to the day’s business. “Mr. President. We have a jam-packed schedule,” I said. “I have a Vogue photo shoot at noon, a Vanity Fair sit-down at 1 p.m., and The New York Times wants to interview me about my history-making debut at 2 p.m.” “Can I go with you?” “No, Mr. President. You have a schedule to keep, too. The Columbo marathon starts at 9 a.m. on TBS, and your morning tapioca pudding cup arrives at 10 a.m. (CNN personality) Jake Tapper gives you a sponge bath at 11 a.m. You nap from noon to 6 p.m., and then it’s bedtime.” “Oh.” The president stared out of the Oval Office, steeped in reflection, or at least he would have been had a window existed before him and not a bare spot on the wall. “Anyway.” “Mr. President, my publicist, Gilda Squire, will escort you to a safe place where you won’t have to say or do anything.” I gave my boss a helpful nudge so he could shuffle off with Gilda, and I could go about my day battling misinformation and speaking truth to the nation based on whatever it said in my binder. A press secretary’s job is to convince the American people that they don’t see what is clearly in front of their faces. Take the millions of migrants who strolled across the southern border during the Biden-Harris administration. “We agree that the border is secure, but there is still more work to be done,” I said at the time. Videos of migrant caravans swamping the Texas border? Cheap fakes. (I can’t believe the media bought our cheap fake narrative. Actually, I can.) Following the president’s June 27, 2024, presidential debate hiccup, I blamed, in part, jet lag for his poor performance, even though the plane had landed a week earlier. “He’s as sharp as ever,” I told Real Clear Politics reporter Philip Wegmann in response to his ridiculous question about the president slowing down. Everyone knew that behind closed doors, President Biden balanced spinning plates on a stick on his nose while riding a unicycle around the Resolute Desk. I could barely keep up with him! Press secretaries must have a solid grip on the facts, and I demonstrated this when a suspected Chinese spy balloon drifted over North America in early 2023. Impartial journalist Jonathan Capehart asked me why a U.S. fighter jet shot it down over our neighbors to the north. “Because it’s part of, uh, NORAD,” I replied. “There’s — uh — the NORAD is part of like a — part of — It’s a, it’s a, what you call a coalition — a consortium. A pact.… We did it clearly in step with Canadia.” Such brilliance can inform the public and potentially land you a job on The View, where I would be the most intelligent panelist should ABC hire me when my star shines bright enough. And for the record, I disagree with those who say being the smartest co-host on The View is like being the hunchback with the best posture. Naturally, my historic success drew some detractors, including former Biden official Tim Wu, who posted (and later deleted) on X: “From WH policy staff perspective, the real problem with Karine Jean-Pierre was that she was kinda dumb. No interest in understanding harder topics. Just gave random, incoherent answers on policy.” Hatred of marginalized groups leads people to say hurtful things, including one former Biden official telling Politico, “Everyone thinks this is a grift,” regarding this book serving as a shameless cash grab by an unqualified, self-promoting political hack. I’m an Independent now, there’s nothing political or egotistical about me. And if you believe that, I’ve got a book to sell you.

There’s something poetic perhaps even prophetic about watching the Trump–Musk bromance go up in flames. For those of us paying close attention, this fracture wasn’t a surprise. It was a slow-motion collision between two titans who were never built to coexist. I predicted this moment in a previous piece months ago: when ego meets ego, when populist power collides with techno-utopian ambition, sparks are bound to fly and one of them will get burned. It’s not just about Trump vs. Musk. It’s about populism vs. technocracy. Nationalism vs. globalism. Faith and family vs. algorithms and avatars. Now it’s happening. The very public fallout between Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States, and Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist, is dominating headlines. But what the mainstream media won’t admit, and what conservatives must now recognize, is that this isn’t just a personal feud. It’s a defining fracture in the coalition of power, wealth, and influence that shaped the modern right. And it matters. Deeply. It started with flirtation. Trump praised Musk’s entrepreneurial brilliance, while Musk applauded Trump’s deregulatory approach and First Amendment bluster. In a political landscape craving disruptors, both men styled themselves as alpha outsiders: Trump, the blue-collar billionaire; Musk, the digital-age messiah. They dined together at Mar-a-Lago. Musk publicly considered voting Republican. Trump even mused about bringing Musk into a second-term administration. But underneath the bromantic tweets and photo ops, deep ideological fault lines were forming. Elon Musk doesn’t like to be controlled. Neither does Donald Trump. And there is only room for one gravitational center in the right-wing galaxy. The unraveling began subtly. Musk reinstated Trump’s Twitter account, only for Trump to ghost the platform in favor of his own Truth Social. Then came subtle jabs: Musk praising Ron DeSantis during the primaries, Trump mocking Musk as a “bull artist.” But now the gloves are off. In his latest Truth Social posts, Trump accused Musk of being “disloyal,” “overrated,” and “desperate for relevance.” Musk, for his part, has begun cozying up to Trump critics and making thinly veiled digs about “old men who won’t let go of power.” Let’s be clear: this was always inevitable. Musk’s vision of world libertarian tech dominance powered by AI, Mars colonies, and robotaxis is fundamentally incompatible with Trump’s America First populism. Musk wants to sell electric cars to the Chinese Communist Party. Trump wants tariffs. Musk wants to be seen as above politics. Trump is politics incarnate. Musk profits from globalism. Trump wages war against it. But the real split came over control of the cultural narrative. Musk wants to be the symbol of digital freedom. That’s why he bought Twitter and rebranded it as X. But Trump already owns the “free speech warrior” crown among the base. Musk’s attempt to edge him out of that spotlight was always going to fail and Trump doesn’t take betrayal lightly. What does this mean for conservatives? First, conservatives must realize that their movement cannot be outsourced to billionaires. Neither Musk nor Trump built their wealth serving the working class. Both are media manipulators. Both shape-shift to suit their interests. But only one has consistently stood by the forgotten men and women of America: factory workers, coal miners, truck drivers, veterans, those who get nothing from the electric future Musk is building. Second, this feud reveals a deeper civil war within conservatism. It’s not just about Trump vs. Musk. It’s about populism vs. technocracy. Nationalism vs. globalism. Faith and family vs. algorithms and avatars. The right must decide: do we want a country rooted in community, history, and sovereignty? Or a transhumanist playground for tech elites who build rockets while America burns? Why Trump Survives This Clash For all his faults, Trump’s compass points toward real people. He talks like them. He fights like them. Musk, by contrast, speaks in riddles and retreats into labs when things get hard. He champions “free speech,” but when X becomes unprofitable, he’ll sell it to the highest bidder, censorship be damned. Let the record show: Trump will survive this feud. Musk, despite his legions of simps online, may not. Because movements aren’t built in space they’re built on dirt. On faith. On sacrifice. On the blood and sweat of patriots who don’t care how many Teslas you’ve sold or whether you’re verified on X. This feud is not a distraction. It’s a revelation. It shows us who’s truly in the fight and who just wants to be adored by all. There’s no room for fence-sitters in 2025. Not with open borders, weaponized justice, and war at our doorstep. So let the feud continue. Let Musk tweet. Let Trump roar. In the end, we’ll find out whose voice actually moves the people. Spoiler: it won’t be Elon Musk’s.
