Elon Musk at Trump's first Cabinet meeting: "I think this is the best Cabinet ever. Literally. So, uh, and I do not give false praise... I think it‘s literally the best Cabinet that the country has ever had."

So just looking at this video on mute, you’d think Elon was POTUS 🤔
Also, he gives false praise all the time. Remember how he said the Swastitruck was the best truck ever and all that jazz and it’s had at least 6 recalls in 2024 alone?
The "company" should be incredibly appreciative? Which company is he talking about? Or was it a Freudian slip where he referred to the US as a company instead of a country?
Good Lord, what an ass kisser. But he gets to show up in a tee shirt and stupid hat. He has no respect for tradition. And what does he know anyway, Musk grew up where?
The company?? He is high. Also did he have another hair plug surgery? Why is he wearing a hat indoors at this kind of meeting? This guy is a racist clown.
WTF! The “company”should be appreciative,i.e. musk/tesla, for what he will receive from the “best” con artist, grifter, scammers, crooks and low life sleeves bags ever assembled.
I agree, amending only to say : these stupid and un-elected people. The only guy who was elected at that table is just happy not to be in jail instead.
By "talented people," he is referring to their ability to be totally unqualified or incompetent but fail upward because they are rich and therefore acceptably white.
"Best Cabinet ever." Sorry, but no. For starters, how about George Washington's Cabinet? It had 4 members: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Henry Knox (chief artillery officers for Gen. Washington's troops; Ft. Knox is named for him); and Edmund Randolph, 1 of the 5 drafters of the Constitution
His vocabulary is as childlike as Trump's. It's astonishing that two such incoherent chumps have ended up as such powerful figures....even more so considering Musk's drug intake.
They could have just bought an island to massage each other but no…they decided to commit treason and try to set up an oligarchy.
Every one of them is a co-conspirator and they wildly underestimated the potential energy of apathetic Americans forced to stop their lives to kick fascist ass.
They seem really comfortable with their blatant corruption and cronyism, I look forward to witnessing their discomfort when they recognize the USA doesn’t do kings, doesn’t like Nazis, and is still incredibly anti-fascist.
This is legit. I have never been more informed in my 4 decades of life about politics than I am now. I hate every second of it but there's never been a more important time.
Tillerson was pretty much an interchangeable fossil fuel CEO, standard-issue evil but relatively competent, and didn't let himself get pushed around the way Rubio is and will be up until he's fired
I remember when I first learned this word (in some list of ‘kinds of -ocracies’ probably) thinking ‘why does that word even need to exist? Why did someone coin it, as if it’s some sort of phenomenon that could recur throughout history?’
Shockingly that isn’t true, Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination, so at least one person at that table isn’t the most unqualified person ever nominated to their job.
Depends on where you're sitting. For example, if you're sitting in Moscow, Pyongyang, Beijing, as president, CEO of a giant multinational corporation, this cabinet kicks ass.
The members of the government present don't even know where to look. He's obviously talking MAGA (MEGA) bullshit. It almost looks like they're ashamed. Um, although, they are Trump employees, so no shame.
Is DT still doing anything at all? He drags his little playmate with him everywhere and then sits next to it like a complete idiot. What kind of president is this? He is an air pump.
Oof. 'Funereal' might be too buoyant a term for the mood in that room.
They must be furious the grift got so complicated. They've sold their souls to Trump - simple! - and now he's webbed into position by Elon. They don't know what could happen to them, now.
Yes, this is what struck me most about the clip, which I first watched with the sound off. Perhaps they're all sitting in grim contemplation of what they've gotten themselves into. There's certainly a visceral sense of loathing directed at Musk.
I remember a version of this happening during his first term but it's so much worse now. Turns my stomach as well. I already know our government is being degraded by his pathetic minions but actually listening to their obsequious Dear Leader praise takes it to another level...
Since the Trump crowd is going all in on the Lord of the Rings analogies, they should just create a new cabinet position and name him the official Wormtongue.
You know how it is. If you’re kicking off a workshop with your team it’s nice to have your boss come in and say a few words to get everyone fired up for the day.
Notice how he refers to the United States as a company. And how he doesn't follow the attire required of the White House. Such a freaking liar. He's going to run us into the ground like a terrible tech startup.
Yeah, everybody thought she distanced from the company because the sex abuse complaints, but it was also because she was prepping to potentially be a cabinet official.
Pretty sure Vince wasnt the one picked for stuff because he wouldn't survive a Senate confirmation for being a clown.
If that man thinks those unqualified buffoons are the best cabinet, he should read some books and everyone else should think hard about the safety of anything and everything that is produced by a man with such shitty judgment.
I’d love to know how Republicans would have responded four years ago if Biden had ceded his first cabinet meeting to a private citizen and quarter-of-a-billion-dollar campaign “contributor”? The official investigation would have begun immediately. Has any Democrat said “boo” about this?
All white males (not even worth mentioning the few women) make it a black and white picture, have them wear Buddy Holly glasses and put cigarettes in their hands. Yes, we are back there!
Says the man who's never been to a cabinet meeting before.
He sounds like the 3rd grade teacher talking to her class on the last day of school right before the last bell rings.
As Trump doesn't believe any person apart from himself has the slightest worth or competence, he must have hated hearing Musk lauding the cabinet collectively. He's probably just tuned out in frustration while waiting for his name to be said again.
trump has no shame. He does not care that Elon is being perceived as the acting president because trump has been well paid, and kept out of jail, and thats really all he cares about
"I think this is the best looking/tallest/in shape/intelligent/genetically superior/fastest/musicalist/artisticist/golfingist/funniest/strongest Cabinet ever. Literally. So, uh, and I do not give false praise... I think it‘s literally the best Cabinet that the country, nay, world, has ever had."
I love how his hand gestures would be qualified, by pro Trump, as "reptilian secret code about the new world order" if it came from someone like Macron ou Trudeau.
#Musk will be able I guess to remove the limits of ethics regarding #NeuraLink and go all in. Remind #Trump or #Musk supporters that first they believed in a fight against the "threat on individual freedom of thought", laughed at "NPCs", "Social Justice Warriors", "Safe Spaces" and "cancel culture"
(I'm 100% sure that TONS of these supporters only need a little push to admit they were wrong and even to join in the fight against what Musk and Trump are doing to #USA. / I'm not a US citizen at all, only a worried french working class nobody, but let me loooove youuu, leeeeet me looove you.)
We found the waste and fraud! We found the criminals! We found the unqualified members of the govt. We found the volunteers for neurolink and first rocket to Mars. All in one place!
“I don’t think such a talented team has ever been assembled in one room”. Obviously he missed the day when the Obama administration took out Osama bin Laden and THAT was the best cabinet. Fuck Elmo
Elon Musk at the Legion of Doom meeting: "I think this is the best assembly of Supervillains ever. Literally. So, uh, and I do not give false praise... I think it‘s literally the best Legion of Doom that the country has ever had."
Isn’t there some jurisdiction that could issue an arrest warrant for this guy? He has violated so many laws that I can’t believe there isn’t a law enforcement official who could get a judge to issue a warrant.
even if she hasn't died it make a difference? My main takeaway is seeing all these jagoffs that the Gaetz stuff must've been soooo bad for him to have had to drop

He lost their respect right there and never regained it

Company?
Also, he gives false praise all the time. Remember how he said the Swastitruck was the best truck ever and all that jazz and it’s had at least 6 recalls in 2024 alone?
😳
He said company, right? I’m not hallucinating?
It’s all just very gross and sad. We had something so solid and legitimate
May their reign be short and end dramatically.
He thinks he’s fucking around with some damn startup bullshit, the ahole.
Dude doesn't know basic shit about things that are allegedly within his wheelhouse.
Every one of them is a co-conspirator and they wildly underestimated the potential energy of apathetic Americans forced to stop their lives to kick fascist ass.
For the Republic y’all. 💪
Kakistocracy

I regret my naïvité.
Kakistocracy + Kleptocracy = TRUMPOCRACY
(for those who don’t get the joke, in Greek “skata” = 💩)
"A greasy secretion with a powerful odor, produced in a glandular sac in the abdomen of a male musk deer"
"It's not a Cabinet ... it's a Junk Drawer."
In that light, Elmo is spot on. Nobody is more qualified to destroy our nation than this group of people.
Bet.
Any of them going to do anything about it?
Yes...on porpoise.
Who's got the popcorn?
They must be furious the grift got so complicated. They've sold their souls to Trump - simple! - and now he's webbed into position by Elon. They don't know what could happen to them, now.
Now, by executive order, Handpicked incompetents and doge is how he will do it.

Everyone in that room is culpable for the mass death that is about to happen
What purpose is this "special employee" serving, other than spokesperson for the billionaires
Using “literally” means we’re probably only a few weeks from him saying this cabinet has skibity rizz or something.
Pretty sure Vince wasnt the one picked for stuff because he wouldn't survive a Senate confirmation for being a clown.
Surely that will piss off Trump enough to kick Elon out.
He sounds like the 3rd grade teacher talking to her class on the last day of school right before the last bell rings.
Too scared to say a word.
Embarrassing.
Disgusting.
Pathetic.
Can't wait to get a real president back at the White House.
Pass it on… wind him up.
Watch trump find a reason why Musk “had to go, you know… he had to go “
Ref: Scorsese, Goodfellas, 1990
If you have to say it, well...
This is the whitest male cabinet! It doesn’t intimidate me.
Mmmmmhhhmmm
Wtf
