Wowie, zowie. More incredible footage from an incredible day. And each passing day is getting more and more incredible still as we see a global realignment take place while the rest of the world looks to cover its own butt while planning to not trust in the good sense of the American voter ever again. We have earned that level of contempt. The election of Dubya, twice, was our Mulligan. The first election of Trump was considered to be an outlier, but with the second election, we have to face the tragic truth, which is that the American electorate is filled with idiots who now vote the way that their grandparents or great grandparents never would have.
That’s lesson number one to be taken away in three weeks of Trump 2.0. Lesson number two, and it’s an even more bitter pill to swallow, is that things are not going so well at home. We saw an incredible display yesterday, a blue-jeaned, booted, baseball cap wearing Elon Musk pontificating from the Oval Office, while his kid crawled around on the floor, picked his nose, and according to this tape, openly insulted the president of the United States — who himself was bored on his ass.
Is this real or is it AI? I do not pretend to know. I submit it here because if it is real, it’s alarming and you’ll hear an explanation of that. If it’s not real, then the fact that it’s out there in the world is indicative of Musk openly declaring his power. Musk could say it’s phony, demand that it be taken down. But he hasn’t so far. So maybe it’s juicing him. Or, maybe he planted it himself. Take a look.
"He and Trump are looking at someone else." No they aren't, Trump is generally ignoring X. He glanced over at Elon, looks forward then glances to his left. Trump notoriously has trouble paying attention when he isn't the center of it. pic.twitter.com/WbLaxUB8h7

What is the kid doing in the Oval Office to begin with? The theory there is that he serves as a human shield for Musk. Supposedly nobody will take a shot at Musk if he’s got the kid with him. Whether that is true or not, who knows? It sounds like another whack a mole theory to explain why Musk, who is an odd bird to say the very least, drags his kid around like a prop. Or, like so many things nowadays, truth is stranger than fiction and maybe that is the truth.
There’s also a theory that Little X is saying “shut your fucking mouth” but not to Trump, rather to reporters off camera. And if that’s the case, then the kid hears a lot of that kind of language for him to find it normal. Most parents shield their kids from hearing that level of adult conflict for precisely this reason, so they don’t go repeating it inappropriately.
Again and always during this mis-administration, the fact that we’re even having these conversations shows how far we have fallen. This is absurd to have some billionaire policy maker giving a press conference from the Oval Office, dressed like some renegade tech bro who works out of his basement.
A kid in the middle of it all is distracting and inappropriate at best. But there you have it, whether the kid is being *used* to further a political agenda or not.
Standards and norms are disintegrating by the way. So yes, it is entirely possible that Trump was told by Musk’s 4-year-old that he wasn’t the president and needs to go away. And maybe that will happen. We don’t know. This situation is a lot like the parable of the blind men and the elephant. We are all feeling out way along day by day trying to figure out what’s what and who’s who in a world gone mad.

I hope X did insult him. If he had been anyone else’s spawn, I am.not sure he’d still.be breathing.
