Trump and Musk Press Conference

I can't bring myself to watch it Merlotgran. The man gives me the creeps.

This is not adding to this topic but Gosh didnt realise Musk has 12 children.

Here they are, well, some of them.

a lot of them have worked for Musk in the past

Eleven are alive, his first child died of sudden infant death syndrome at 10 weeks.

His son is called X Æ A-12. Poor little soul. His mother apparently didn’t know he was there in the Oval Office, and wasn’t happy about him being there.

So how is that pronounced, I wonder?
And what does it mean?

Surely only parents who are very strange indeed would give a child a name like that, it's a millstone and an embarrassment.

I suppose he can always change it when he's older.

I am happy to report that I saw a news article that the little guy DID wipe a booger on the Resolute Desk. I still hope it's true. Normally I would be offended at the disrespect of such an important part of US History, but a booger is way better then the other pile of something sitting at it.

And there is the child that has transitioned, and Musk has said something like 'dead to me'

Well done that child!!

Yes, normally I'd be doing my Joyce Grenfell act but not in this particular case.
Anyway, wouldn't be able to pronounce his name.

^what was the child doing there^

Picking his nose apparently

I’m sorry, I haven’t seen the footage of this, maybe I’ll see it later today.

and then he told Trump

'You are not President you have to go away'. His face!

12 children, with how many women? And Trump?
Such examples to us all!

No idea, but he is called X for short apparently, which figures. His sister and brother are called Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus!

Techno Mechanicus sounds like a wrestler from the 1970s.

It was glorious to watch him say that Claremont.

I hope the child maintains his 'scepticism' as he grows up.

He basically told the emperor that he wasn't wearing any clothes

... I don't think Trump had anything to do with Musk's child headcount LOL!

Mick McManus! 😁

My Mum used to love the Saturday afternoon wrestling.
Strange, because she was a kind, gentle person.

'You are not President you have to go away'. His face!
😁

Perhaps he believes his Daddy is.

It's not been verified that's what he said. Just social media folk, wishful thinking.

Not sure if we'll see a repeat though. It's no place for a child, despite the fact he looked more at home in front of the cameras than his dad.

It’s just like some recurring nightmare, Trump and Musk really are the gifts which keep giving!

I think they are both about taking rather than giving.

A led by donkeys video on Musk's connections with extreme (and I mean extreme) right.

^The whole scene reminded me of an episode on tv once where the old ailing King sits by while his wizard steps forward and makes decisions for him while those present all look worried.^

Very witty Oreo that gave me a chuckle! 😁

It wasn’t me being witty, I think it was either a scene from GOT or LOTR’s.🤭

Did the various Mrs Musks have any say on these names, I wonder.

Grimes is the mother of the youngest 3. She and Musk have been in court recently because he kept the kids away from her in violation of court orders or something like that. She is the one upset he is parading the boy everywhere right now.

Film of that 'Emperor's New Clothes' event in the Oval Office is on Facebook a lot. Because there are deepfakes, it would be interesting if an accredited lip reader could confirm what the child actually did say to Trump, as he slouched in the President's chair.
I do hope it's a fairy tale with a happy ending.

I just wonder why this baseball-cap wearing, middle-aged schoolboy nerd, feels the need to parade his 4 year old at a press conference in the Oval office.

Is he advertising his pro-natal credentials - or couldn't he get a baby-sitter? Or simply using his child as a prop?

How would people have reacted had it been a mother parading her child like this?

For those who didn't watch the video
