Elon Musk took to the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference donning suspicious shades, a gold chain, and a T-shirt underneath his blazer that read: “I’m not procrastinating I’m doing side quests AKA the uniform of the coolest guy on the debate team.
He was joined by Argentinian President Javier Milei who is currently facing backlash for a crypto scam he just pulled on his ENTIRE country. What is with the far-right and scamming their constituents??
During the live interview, Musk struggled at times to form coherent sentences - not in a way of his usual stutter but in a way that concerned netizens. On Twitter, the term “Ketamine” began trending just minutes into his interview. This is probably because Elon Musk has been public about his use of the drug in the past.
In addition to "Ketamine", “Grimes” was also at the top of the trending list—a reference to his ex-girlfriend’s simultaneous public plea in the form of several tweets, begging the father of their 3 children to contact her about an urgent health emergency affecting one of their children.
Most of Musk's interview was centered around the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE, where Musk has been making sweeping and chaotic cuts across the federal government.
Musk stressed the importance of cutting costs in D.C. and in Social Security for what unfounded claims of widespread fraudulent payments. At one point, the painfully unfunny oligarch went on a tangent saying “the left wanted to make comedy illegal.”
“Comedy sucks! Nothing’s funny, you can’t make fun of anything,” Musk said, to luke warm reception. “It’s like, legalize comedy!”
He hit several other MAGA conspiracies including the one insinuating that Fort Knox’s gold depository was not real, saying, “We just wanna see it and make sure somebody didn’t spray paint lead or something.”
Later in the interview, when asked what it feels like to be newly “vilified” by the media, he replied: “When they’re chanting for my death I suppose that’s a little…you know......And then like the songs aren’t even that good...... It’s like, you call that a death chant? It’s nothing please.”
“I am become meme,” Musk said, sounding like a 4Chan thread. “I’m living the meme. There’s living the dream and there’s living the meme and it’s pretty much what’s happening.”
“My mind is a storm,” he added.
I can't believe this guy has my social security number. And yours.
