The Elon Dirt Is Coming Out Publicly Now. Ouch

I thought I would end the day with something more humorous. It seems people at the WH are over Elon. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is struggling to hide his disdain. Some State Department officials have given him the nickname “Crazy Uncle Elon”. From what we’ve publicly seen, that says it all right there. For heaven’s sake, the man who gave his son such a bizarre name is wearing him around the White House, or he’s allowing him to crawl around and play during a press conference with tRump! How in the *hell* did reporters keep their composure?  I’m not sure I could have stayed the distance. I’d probably have said something like “Elon, get your son under control. He doesn’t belong in the Oval Office during a press conference” and then gotten kicked out for it. Buuuuuut I don’t think DonOld would have minded someone saying the quiet part out loud. Let me repeat: where did Elon get off giving his son such a weird name? School is going to suck for that kid, and getting into college? Oh, lawdy.

But anyhow, people are having trouble working with the MuskMelon. From The Advocate: “I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump official said. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do. But the word doesn’t do the situation justice. Elon just thinks he’s smarter than everyone else in the room and acts like it, even when it’s clear he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” Yea. I think I would have to agree with that. Again, think of what we’ve seen of Elon in public.

But it gets better! “Trump lieutenants have reportedly walked out of meetings because of Musk’s behavior, and “earnestly” questioned whether or not he was on drugs in private statements to each other. The sources said that administration officials have joked about forcing Musk to undergo regular drug tests — something Musk said in February would be a “great idea” for federal employees.” And “An attorney for Musk told the outlet that he is ‘regularly and randomly drug-tested at SpaceX and has never failed a test.’ “However, several leaders at Tesla and SpaceX have claimed to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms, according to a Wall Street Journal report.”

Aw, yea. He’s more than overstayed his welcome. Vivek was smart to have backed out of DOGE (and *what* is up with hiring all these kids to get their hands into private and super confidential data? Let’s use Social Security and the IRS as examples) and not be associated with it. Actually, Vivek seems to have faded into the background. That’s no great loss on my part! Let me close with one last quote that gave me the giggles: “Talking to the guy is sometimes like listening to really rusty nails on a chalkboard,” the Trump official said. “He’s just the most irritating person I’ve ever had to deal with, and that is saying something.”

Don’t you agree? I disliked Elon from the get-go. He’s always had this weird look to his eyes. And some of the things he champions (going to Mars, repopulating the Earth) are really strange. It would be nice to get rid of him. Agent Orange is a known quantity. Elon is unpredictable. Can we move him out of the White House and take DOGE with him? He’s ripping apart the federal government in the name of “rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse” when there wasn’t any. I would think he just enjoys controlling people’s livelihoods and lives. Gross.
