Summary

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk, calling it “the most powerless image of a president” ever.

Musk dominated the event—standing over Trump, speaking more words, and violating White House norms with his casual attire and child’s presence.

O’Donnell contrasted Musk’s influence with Trump’s past and present vice presidents, arguing that neither Mike Pence nor JD Vance would challenge Trump’s authority in such a manner.

    The whole thing seemed to me to be a cutscene from the Red Alert universe.

    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…

        Except Republicans are pushing anti-trans laws to prevent people from changing their names. The current proposal floating around would prevent married women from voting because they take on their husband’s last name.

        X is 88 in decimal? Musk’s obsession with that letter finally makes sense

    I’m sure the right wingers complaining about Zelensky not wearing a suit are incandescent with rage about Musks lack of decorum.

    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…

      At this point th presidency is meaningless and vomitous anyway. I don’t care if they just start wearing wife beaters and golf shorts - they truly can’t bring the position or country any lower.

      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?

      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

        We kinda do, the kid basically said what sounds like parroting daddy with "they’ll never know evil toddler laugh’ when he overheard discussion of voting machines or some shit

          You are right ; there is no sarcasm. So, i should have said : it’s worthy of “Not The Onion” … or such.

    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…

    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.
