Sam Stein and Will Sommer break down the surreal Trump–Elon press conference that covered Elon's ketamine allegations, strange gifts, DOGE's "accomplishments," and an awkward farewell that raised more questions than answers.
Sorry guys, I love your content, but the closing of this one left a bad taste in my mouth. Whether you think the Elon Era is over or just paused, your tone seemed to paper over the significant damage that Elon and Doge have done to our nation.
Further, I fear that the long term effects of Elon's actions have barely begun to be appreciated. Who knows what access adversaries may now have to put most critical systems? What is to stop the DogePups from doling out unappropriated funds to, say, DHS once their budgeted funds dry up in July?
Maybe I am just being an old crank, but it seemed like the feeling was "that was interesting, but hey, what's next?"
Elon's public humiliation exit interview: I've never laughed so hard. This was Trump essentially ridiculing Elon's nonsense busts of fraud: minuscule misdemeanors by Microsoft software, $20 million for Arab Sesame Street, $8 million into transgender mice, $45 million for transgender scholarships in Burma- "does anyone know about Burma?" Failed hookup of wire to copper that "they tried." And how the hell did Elon get a black eye?? Trump pretty much gave Elon a black eye in this make-mincemeat-of-Elon news conference. Did neuro-diverse Elon have the capacity to understand he was being thrown under the Trump-mobile? I doubt poor Elon with his shiner, administered by his Omen Damien five year old, did. "Hit me, Damien." This is actually very sad. Trump cucked Elon, and Elon just stands there. Like the dupe he is. Trump rolls another one. These people never learn. But that's because he chooses the most damaged to do his bidding. The calculating evil in this man defies comprehension.
The only thing that should have been addressed by the press is the NYT reporting on this fucker’s drug use. It is scary as shit that he was so fucking high while he destroyed our country.
Sorry Sam but I don’t think Elon can feel humble - he’s a warped terrible human. I imagine he thinks his time in DC has helped all mankind. He look like a Hieronymus Bosch character. Grotesque person. Ugh.
Musk is easy to laugh at. Such a bizarre partial human. Then you remember the richest man in the world has probably caused the deaths of thousands of poor children and its not so funny anymore.
A friend of mine had an exercise band snap and hit her in the eye. When she went to get her eye examined, the doctor told her it was a pretty common injury and he said she was lucky she only suffered an abrasion.
As for Elon’s injury, a more credible explanation would be that his son punched him in the face unprompted. I will never be skeptical of a story about someone losing it and punching Elon in the face, even if that person is his 5 year old child.
Oh…. Trump’s hair color has changed! Did someone finally convince him that it was awful?
If that person can also show him how to blend his heavy-handed foundation nightmare into his g-d hairline, I'll name my next pet after them.
This is yet another reason to befriend the LGBT crowd. Rainbow friends don't let friends go out looking like that.

Elon Musk does not know from “humble,” Sam.
Nah, but we can experience it vicariously through where his shame should be.
The only thing that should have been addressed by the press is the NYT reporting on this fucker’s drug use. It is scary as shit that he was so fucking high while he destroyed our country.
Neither Trump nor Musk have any friends. They may be rich financially, but they're very poor in relationships. Trump's mother hated him.
And Elon's father crushed him. So two peas in a pod, together against the free world.
The next incumbent in the White House will (presumably?) do what any new tenant would do - change the locks.
WORST (best?) Elon accent ever. 🤣

fr I have never met a humble person with the kind of persecution complex he has. Poor little richest dude ever. *tiny violin*
Elon…. Good bye to bad garbage🤢
Absolutely a crazy news conference so lame…🤢🤪
I always have trouble hooking up the wire to copper!

Right, Elon- partial human. Having already wired himself up as guinea pig for his Neuro-link venture. Yeah, that explains Elon.
Doocy, Trump? Why even bother??
Doesn't matter WHO sycophant, just THAT sycophant. Real "Profiles in Courage" sh*t.
This is their vision for the future of journalism.

Yes…sadly…it's come to this.
This is the new NEWS???
Whatever happens next with Elon, there's no way in the world Trump's giving up on access to those billions.
