President Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk at an Oval Office event. You know this was going to cause a meltdown. The event was marked by the president directing government agencies to cooperate with the Department of Government Efficiency, helmed by Elon Musk at the president's direction. It was quite an event, and Musk seemed ready to spar with the media, which attacked him as an Americanized Rasputin figure. The Telsa founder was short and sweet regarding questions about a shadow presidency, adding that the people voted for this; they want DOGE to audit the gravy train built by the political class and dismantle it.

The bright lights of DOGE are about to be shone on the individual DC $$$ bureaucrat roaches. The sound you hear is them running for cover. The Bölz is coming, the Bölz is coming, the Bölz is coming. Pass the Redenbacher's.

All those multi-millionaires in Congress are suddenly not as cocky as they were just three weeks ago. Pass the popcorn.

They are elected officials. Their finances are not secret. EXPOSE them Bolz.

Maybe off subject but it’s inappropriate for Musk to have his toddler at every event he attends, especially standing by Trump’s desk picking his nose. These are serious times for the country and there are some places kids don’t belong.

I agree with #8. Why is Musk bringing his kid to the oval office to discuss serious national issues. How are we and the rest of the country supposed to take this seriously when a three year old is standing there next to the president sitting at the desk in the Oval office and doing three year old antics. The kid is not Barron.

Musk standing there giving the media what-for with his son sitting on his shoulders reminds me of Poilievre of Canada casually eating an apple as he takes a leftist reporter apart at the seams.

The other day I read a quote from Harry Truman.
It goes something like this:
"Show me a person who got Rich working for the Government, and I'll show you a CROOK!"
Oh, and here's another one that applies to today's events:
"When you can't do any housecleaning because everything that goes on is a damned secret, then we're on our way to something the Founding Fathers didn't have in mind. Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix."
Harry S. Truman

Marjorie Merriweather Post's father used to take his young daughter to his business meetings. That exposure to the ins and outs of the business world worked out very well for her. And speaking of Marjorie Merriweather Post-she built Mar a Lago and thankfully POTUS Trump restored it. Her Hillwood estate is an oasis in DC.

Many 150 year olds getting Social Security. Gee....no fraud there....Hah!
And why are some bureaucrats extremely wealthy even though they have a modest salary? It's possible that some of them are legitimate savers and investors. But also a good chance that some of them have figured out a way to siphon off money.
Look closer, the truth will be clear.
And we should meet some of these 150 year olds.

#10, I still laugh when I think of Poilievre eating that apple. I wish more politicians would do that when they get such asinine questions. As for Elon's little X, I don't think Trump minded one bit. He knows how much Elon loves his kids. Musk calls him his security blanket.
