Summary
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk, calling it “the most powerless image of a president” ever.
Musk dominated the event—standing over Trump, speaking more words, and violating White House norms with his casual attire and child’s presence.
O’Donnell contrasted Musk’s influence with Trump’s past and present vice presidents, arguing that neither Mike Pence nor JD Vance would challenge Trump’s authority in such a manner.
Musk Jr. would like it on the record that we need more candy and toys.
Unironically would be better for our economy than anything his father has suggested
if only that was the only statements coming out of the White House, it would be the best one ever
Now that’s unifying policies! Something everyone can get behind!
