He’s not talking about the stock price of Tesla or new SpaceX initiatives or ANYTHING HE KNOWS ABOUT ... CNN is sanewashing if it airs him blathering about “the will of the people.” He doesn’t know JACK about that!

We're going to "interrupt his pablum" and "irony just died" - Nicolle Wallace is an artist with her words.

Musk essentially said the bureaucracy has to be eliminated because they are unelected, and don't represent the people. If this weren't so scary and demented, it would be funny.

Musk is waxing philosophical and talking down to the people, as if he is a Civics teacher. Nicolle cut away.

I am curious as to the questions they are getting from the press. I might have to torture myself later, and locate it online.

Watching TCF at the desk sitting with Musk in all black and Dark MAGA hat talking away about how the judges are wrong and then a little child standing there (then sitting).

What the ever fuck is happening ?

Musk. As Musk started speaking so did the boy, who turned towards djt and was jabbering. Trump quickly looked off in the other direction, to his left, with a thoroughly annoyed expression.

MSNBC pulled away from the 'cast, so it appears Musk finally put the kid on his shoulders. Trump has never been a kid guy.

Best part is when little X starts picking his nose and TCF looks really annoyed.

The media believe – incorrectly – that it is their role to function as a ‘neutral conduit’ of events and information.

In fact, it is the role and responsibility of a free press to expose the corruption and incompetence of government, to confront elected individuals with their lies and disinformation, and provide a factual account of events.

It’s this failure of the media that contributed to the fear, ignorance, and stupidity of the voters who put Trump back in the WH.
