'trump taunted' is not news. The other half of the country sees this as a big dick power move. You can spin it any way you like. Pointless journalism. What's the point?
It's not journalism. It's entertainment.
I know. I wish it was treated as such. I really hope people in the future come to value nuance.
This is not just bad, but desperate journalism. Nobody cares. It’s cruel to feed readers wishful thinking like this.
violating White House norms with his casual attire and child’s presence.
He also had a 5 year old with him.
Ah yes, his human shield he's had since The Luigi Event.
Not so much a shield, more a prop.
I mean you say that but he's been wearing him on his shoulders like body armor since the day after. He's definitely a shield.

Weird how one CEO gets Luigied and suddenly it's bring your kid to work day for president Musk.
Lol I think I can get behind Luigi as a verb
Also, who wears a basebal cap and a T-shirt, and brings his four-year old who - like any four-year old - can't shut the hell up in the oval office? I mean honestly, who is this guy? Just because he has money doesn't give him the right to turn the presidency into a fucking daycare center. He could at least pretend to respect the institution a little bit...
The 4 year old is nothing more than a meat shield. Remember how right after the CEO shooting, Elmo started carrying one of his brood with him?
Like that would work in a country dominated by school shooters.
I feel bad for the kid being spawned by Musk though.
He's one of, what, 10?
🤔
Just because he has money doesn't give him the right
Gonna stop you there, friend, and remind you that this is America. Yes it does.
On the other hand, maybe the most sensible things might have come from the 4-year-old ... Do we have an official statement from the child ?
P.S. : first time ever I'm not writing down the usual /sarcasm
Musk Jr. would like it on the record that we need more candy and toys.

I'm sure the right wingers complaining about Zelensky not wearing a suit are incandescent with rage about Musks lack of decorum.
The same people who raged about Obama's tan suit
So who all is being hypocritical?

You want to get rid of Musk, stuff like this is how you do it.
Publicly make Trump out to be the lessor power in the relationship and his ego won't be able to handle it. Look how fast he lost his shit during that debate with Harris when the subject of his crowd size came up.
I really think people who say this aren't reading the room. It's not the same old Trump. This is an old broken down mentally deficient Trump. This isn't a case of an alliance between equals. This is a case of a grifter taking advantage of a guy too old to make decisions for himself. This is like a guy stealing the Social Security checks , altering the will , and selling assets for his own gain. I mean by all means keep saying it, cuz who knows and it is true, I just don't think it'll work. If anything it might be embolding Musk and legitimizing him.

That's what I've thought until now, but after that display I don't think he'll do anything to Musk, who it seems really does have some power over him--the money of course, but maybe something else too--maybe some dirt, maybe something in conjunction with Putin. But to let that little brat say those things[*] to him and his only reaction was to be submissive and look away tells me Musk really is the one in control here. This is actually scary.
[*] "You're not the president, you need to go away" and "I want you to shut your fucking mouth up"
Wait, what is this * part of your comment? I guess I missed some piece of these insane news cycles.
I've seen several clips from the press conference of "Little X" saying those things to trump, in an audible whisper. You should be able to find them with a search, or if not I can try to find them in my history. Trump sits hunched, looks briefly at the kid then looks away in a defeated manner (like a dog!) while musk rambles on. Anyone else, trump would have said to get the kid out of there, it's bizarre.

Idc what snopes says about inconclusive; I saw and heard in the vids exactly what you did, lmao

Wormtongue has made himself very cosy in his new home it would seem.
Poor kid is named X. What stupid assholes his parents are: he's gonna have to bear that stupid name all his life.
Then again, he could have been called Twitter I guess...
he's gonna have to bear that stupid name all his life.
Now now... They could legally change it when they're 18.

label musk as alpha and trump as beta in this picture (not that I believe in those labels but they do)
Then post it all over x-itter like crazy.. Don't let it die.. make this 'a thing'
And then watch Musk have the conundrum as to whether to take it down or not....
His ego wouldn't let him take it down, and make Donny Dump respond to it....
I have never seen Trump act more servile towards anyone than when he pulled a chair out for Netanyahu.
Star trek deep space nine spoilers
Their relationship is like grand nagus zek
and ishka. Ishka wasnt allowed to do business under ferengi law due to being a woman. So she got close to zek and was acting behind the scenes to help maintain zeks appearance during his mental decline.
Musk, being an illegal immigrant, wouldn't have been able to be president directly. One difference being musk is clearly leading in the spotlight.
