A hot mic picked up the 4 year old saying, "You shut your f**ing mouth" and "You're not the president, you need to go away" to Trump.

Yes he is Elon’s heir to the White House. Trump just hasn’t realized it yet. Vance might as well skedaddle.

Future President X Æ A-12 Musk!

PS. Where is that poor child's mother?! Does he even have one?

For how many years did you personally provide 24/7 parenting? Were you single parenting without a partner to share the responsibilities?

LOL...you call this "parenting"?

Oh, and way to miss the point of the post. An elected civilian...who bought the presidency...is holding a press conference...in the Oval Office.

Yes, this is parenting. Although a bit older, my child came to countless conferences with me, and became an amazing public speaker. No big deal. CEOs would come up to me saying their children would never behave so well.

Your child may get “career day” or “take your child to work day” once a year, while other children may get that every week.

WTF - he's not "at work" with no childcare. He's acting as President - he should not have a kid there during a press conference in the Oval Office ....heck he shouldn't even be there at all!
They are making a mockery of the whole system and govt and country.

That's exactly what they said about JFK.

Ha. Let’s compare JFK and Musk. Well, for starters, one was actually elected President …

When you Dems/libs can never say anything positive about this administration… it’s clear you’re lying to yourself and what a total idiot you are. Try some f-ing independent critical thinking for once.

That is rich.

The idea that Musk turned a handful of teens loose on government computer systems and they rooted out “waste” at record speed is laughable. Seriously.

Any thinking adult should know a waste or fraud audit would take more than a day or two to determine. Particularly by people who have NO experience in these matters. Yet to the right all this record fraud discovery by teens is somehow plausible? Where the fck have YOUR critical thinking skills gone?

These are the same clowns who ran with “we’re sending condoms to Hamas!” when they were going to Gaza, Mozambique ffs. So sit all the way down with your “independent critical thinking” nonsense. The lowest bar is producing factual work product. Which they can’t seem to do because none of them know what they’re talking about and they fired anyone with any degree of expertise.

You’re okay with the US paying for and sending massive amounts of condoms to another country? That seems logical to you?

Yes, our Congressional representatives voted on it. That’s is how this shit works. Since they got the location so grossly wrong I don’t trust the figures, but regardless, disagreeing with the expenditure doesn’t equate fraud or waste.

If you don’t want tax dollars going towards assisting an impoverished nation battle HIV, call your fcking representatives.

“Independent critical thinking” does not mean ignoring the Constitution.

Based on your language, you’re an ignorant plebe. I’d trust Elon over you. He’s successful and hard working. You’re just some angry keyboard warrior that’s unable to engage in a civil discussion.

Oh, I’m so sorry my language offended you and gave you an “excuse” to ignore the point. You might be scandalized and want to clutch your pearls over the fact that the “successful and hardworking” Elon’s toddler dropped an f-bomb in the Oval Office right next to the President.

And yes, I am angry that the Constitution is being ignored. Truthfully, you should be too because if this becomes normative you will be super upset by what happens when the shoe is on the other foot. This isn’t good for any of us. You might feel good in the moment but that is short sighted and an error in independent critical thinking.

Of course it was weird Elon’s toddler was in the Oval Office. That’s obvious. But I’m not going to use that to deflect from the other very suspect expenditures occurring with our tax dollars. He’s weird, but some of what Elon says is absolutely correct.

I’m an independent. That was weird with his kid. It was also weird we had a man in office who was practically a vegetable. I’m able to look past the weird now to see the big stuff. The fraudulent spending, to me, is the big stuff.

Idc if Musk had all 11 kids in the Oval Office. I was responding to you calling me a “ignorant plebe” because I dare use an f-bomb. Where do you think Musk’s 3 year old learned it was okay to use that word? Might his father be an ignorant plebe too?

Now back to the topic, fraud does not equate spending you don’t agree with. Congress is the avenue for changing spending. What they are doing is illegal and specifically if you’re an independent you, better than anyone who is partisan, should see the problem with that.

It’s possible you’re an ignorant plebe, and Elon is, too. If you can’t get your point across without cursing during an otherwise civil conversation, you’re trash.

I didn't call you any curse words. I actually haven't called you a single name, yet you have called me an ignorant plebe and trash. I think you are not only confused by how the government is supposed to work, but you are also confused what civil conversation looks like when you're pearl clutching over curse words while calling people names. If I had to choose between general cursing and name calling, I'll take the cursing. At least it's not mean.

The “he” is that Musk shouldn’t be in the oval office giving a press conference

Huh?

Congress decides on the budget and funding. They control the purse strings and they ARE elected. Bob from USAID didn't just decide to buy condoms to send to Mozambique. Congress approved the expenditure.

Please everyone take a few minutes to learn how this stuff works.

Is there a secret service detail on Musk? It doesn’t seem like there legally would be?

Who is the Secret Service authorized to protect?

By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect:
The president, the vice president, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the president-elect and vice president-elect
The immediate families of the above individuals
Former presidents, their spouses, except when the spouse re-marries
Children of former presidents until age 16
Visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad
Major presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election
Other individuals as designated per Executive Order of the President and
National Special Security Events, when designated as such by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security

Did Trump sign an EO to do so?

[Anonymous]

How are Republicans okay with a drugged up, non American in a baseball cap taking questions from the Oval Office while his son picks his nose and the President sits there like a beached whale? Even putting aside what’s actually happening, it’s just undignified and embarrassing. Where’s your respect for your president? The White House? History? Utter trash.

Musk should pay for his own security. He is rich enough.

For someone who cares about optics more than anything, how is he so damn bad at it?

He was always a beta. Look at the way he talks and gestures.

He’s extremely effeminate. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just find it funny how his supporters act like he’s some super masculine alpha type.

Show me where they approved the expenditure in a budget bill or omnibus or CR.
