Left Flips Out Over Elon Attending Cabinet Meeting -- the Internet Has Perfect Response

Elon Musk was at the White House to attend a Cabinet meeting and talk about the progress of the Department of Government Efficiency.

President Donald Trump outlined some of what had been done with DOGE. He spoke about the purpose of the "List what you did last week" email. Trump pointed out how it was a check to see if some of the folks were even working for the government at all.

He then introduced Musk, saying he'd sacrificed a lot to do this job.

Musk explained that he was "tech support" -- the reason he wore a T-shirt with those words to the meeting, that it was about addressing the enormous deficit that the country faced.

Musk also praised the Cabinet.

A reporter asked Musk if everyone in the Cabinet was happy with what he was doing. Trump interrupted, asking to let them speak for themselves and saying that if they were unhappy with Musk, they would "throw him out of here."

The left was melting down over this and still pushing the lame "president" tactic.

Wow. Trump’s press secretary just said that Elon Musk will be attending Trump’s first Cabinet meeting, even though he’s not part of the Cabinet. Musk bought his way into power! This is what an oligarchy looks like.

Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.) pic.twitter.com/5xtTyh45Hq

It's a common practice in Cabinet meetings to have speakers come to inform the Cabinet on important topics. In this case, Musk was speaking about DOGE. He was not "presiding" over the meeting. Trump was. He introduced Elon and discussed that subject, then moved on to other topics. But the left doesn't care about reality.

This stupid tactic also got eviscerated by many who pointed out how Jill Biden also spoke at the first Cabinet meeting that Biden had in months after not having any. (She did not "run" that meeting; she just spoke at it.)

Jill was speaking about a White House women's health initiative.

So the argument against Elon's presence was silly, especially when you consider DOGE cuts across all the agencies. The Cabinet members should be asked their concerns or questions -- you should get input from them. That's how you make it even better.
