I encourage anyone to watch Elon's full remarks (and mostly ignore the other guy seated at the Resolute desk): https://youtu.be/gAuTb-yMNk4 https://youtu.be/gA

      The kid literally tells him "you're not the president so you need to go away". Pretty sure little X didn't think of that out of nowhere.

Disturbing to see, unprecedented for someone to behave so cavalier in the Oval Office in front of the media. Speaking (poorly) at length and overshadowing the President while he sits there, with Elon greasy looking and wearing a dirty T-shirt and black baseball cap, the whole circusesque scene is wow beyond belief, bad vibes all around. Piling on the above, Musk's verbal diarrhea makes it even worse. He downplays the role of DOGE, saying he's stopping 150 year old Social Security collectors, when in reality he's shutting down critical government functions on the daily ("XX agency: R.I.P."). "We post our activity on X! And the DOGE website." Because now X is totally a valid outlet for government activity.. </s>, gross. It's all one big lie, and the rest of the government has apparently been capitulated, resistance is futile. What does the ending look like in this case? That comment by @tomrod the other day, a list of sane questions, is still becoming more relevant, IMHO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43003791 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43003791

  Yeah this is utterly bizarre to watch. It's very, very not right, and I think there may be an actual real coup going on right now. I think Trump is either complicit or being manipulated to hand the US over to a delusional man with an incredibly dangerous set of ideas. How are none of the people we elected in Washington doing anything about this? Elon should be forcibly removed. This is not the will of the people.
