As the public, it is very unbearable to watch Elon Musk play a former central role in the new Trump administration. A strange, awkward sight of greed, stupidity and self-importance that can easily be disgusted by billionaires. According to a new report, senior members of the Trump administration feel the same way.
The Rolling Stones claim that senior Trump officials described the billionaire as incredible, annoying, “crazy” and that could require regular mandatory drug testing. Export Report:
Some senior Trump administration officials and cabinet members find themselves very upset about Musk. Three people familiar with the matter, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, did not hide his disdain for Musk, with two of the sources telling the Rolling Stone that some State Department officials nicknamed the Tesla billionaire “Uncle Crazy Elon.”
The same official told the magazine that the billionaire had angered cabinet members so much that they wanted to know if he was taking drugs:
Musk was so shocked by the patience of a series of senior administration officials that – according to the official and two other officials, Lieutenant Trump has withdrawn from the meeting and asked each other seriously if he thinks Musk is high. Government officials joked with each other about getting Musk to undergo a mandatory drug test, which Musk himself said would be a “good idea” for federal employees.
Things got worse. “I was in the same room with Elon and he was always trying to be funny. He wasn't funny.” He was joking, barely smiling, and then almost hurt if you didn't impress him. I've been using the word “antimental”; a lot of people who have to deal with him do it. ”
“But that word doesn't make the situation just,” they added. “Elon just thought he was smarter than everyone else in the room and acted like this, even if it was obvious that he didn't know what he was talking about.”
The same person reportedly told the magazine: “Talking with that guy is sometimes like listening to really rusty nails on a blackboard,” he added: “He's just the most annoying person I've ever had, and that's what it's about to say.”
It is not clear who is the senior official. Musk has significantly inspired many of the government's hatred, including from Rubio, who has been contending with billionaires for Doge's aggressive cuts to the State Department. That is, the comments in this article do not necessarily indicate broad emotions. Instead, they show that at least one senior Trump official hates Elon's guts. Gizmodo contacted Musk and the White House.
Musk's star has gradually faded significantly in recent weeks as national protests have erupted in response to him and his moral initiatives. Americans are so angry that the Trump Justice Department has to consider vehicles targeting Tesla a “family terrorism” crime, as Musk's cars and Tesla showrooms have become targets of populist outrage. Overall, Musk's political “activism” doesn't seem to be a good thing for his business. Tesla's sales have fallen worldwide, and the company's stock is falling freely. On Thursday, Tesla stopped accepting orders in China to secure models made in the United States to ensure further spin of the company.
Interestingly, Musk was also outbreaked by the Internet during a recent live event, and he played an online video game while riding a private plane. Angry commenters hijacked the game's chat forum and drowned it with sulfuric acid, suggesting that Musk had “no real friends” and would “die alone” and would “never feel unsafe” no matter how much money or strength he gets. One user asked the Tesla CEO to “please bastard” President Trump “so he died of heart disease.” Some commenters had usernames “elon_is_a_peedophile” and “elon_musk_is_pathetic”. A better guy can't happen.
