Americans in Hysterics After Elon’s Son Tells Trump He’s Not the President – Something the Child Probably Hears at Home

 Americans in Hysterics After Elon’s Son Tells Trump He’s Not the President – Something the Child Probably Hears at Home

When we wrote about Elon Musk truly believing that he’d been elected by the American people right alongside Donald Trump, we had no way of knowing just how deep that belief ran.

We might have a little better idea, after the Oval Office debacle we just saw. Trump was sitting at his desk looking officious as he prepared to sign yet another Executive Order. This was was to give Elon Musk and the fictitious “Department of Government Efficiency” even more authority to overrule Congress, hacking and slashing spending that Trump considers wasteful.

Elon had brought his son X Æ A-Xii, affectionately known as X, or “Lil X,” to the meeting with him. Now, I’m annoyed by the simple fact that Elon attends these events. Despite what he believes, he’s not an elected official, and he’s not an appointed member of Trump’s Cabinet. He cannot be, unless he undergoes a background check by the FBI and gets confirmed by the Senate after being nominated for a Department that actually exists.

Bringing his son is something else entirely.

Don’t get me wrong, I like kids. I’ve got 3 of my own. I miss when my youngest was Lil X’s age (but that was 22 years ago). But unless it was some kind of “take your kid to work day,” I had to find child care. It was expensive, as most everyone reading this knows. Surely the richest man in the world, however, can afford childcare somewhere in his net worth of more than 400 billion dollars.

That means X is along as a media prop. Elon’s bringing him to “humanize” himself. And just like the rest of us parents, he knows he runs the risk of his kiddo publicly repeating something inappropriate he heard at home.

Jim poses the question here that we all want to hear an answer to from Trump’s MAGA followers: Where do you think Lil X heard something like that? Where do you think he learned it was okay to tell the President to “shush” and go away?

I’ll tell you where he DIDN’T learn it. His mother. She was as surprised as anyone to find out that Lil X was even in the Oval Office with his dad.

No matter where X picked it up, folks over on the social media platform he shares a name with were laughing hysterically:

That last tweet there is the worst thing about all of this. There’s always going to be a pretty sizeable cross-section of the population who simply refuses to believe anything bad about Trump or his presidency, and it extends to anything that happens around him that could make him look dumb:

It’s like when Trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose a single voter.

The whole incident has me in stitches, anyway. You can clearly hear what Lil X said there. I love the fact that he also didn’t just pick his nose in the Oval Office (right in front of America’s most famous germaphobe), he ate one booger and wiped another on Trump’s desk.

Of course, if we’re going to say he got what he said from watching his dad, why wouldn’t that logic apply equally to where Lil X learned to eat his boogers?

I honestly wouldn’t put it past Elon Musk to chow down on some beak boulders and then claim it’s healthy for you. In fact, I kind of wish he would, so we could watch legions of Trumpers do the same.
