On Thursday afternoon, Elon Musk called President Trump a pedophile.
There are many layers to the extremely online (and extremely entertaining) feud between the president and a man who, until a few days ago, was one of his most loyal backers, but I don’t want that to get lost, so I’ll say it again: Elon Musk called Donald Trump a pedophile. (He did this while simultaneously taking credit for making him president. Like I said: There are layers.)
Democrats are understandably giddy about the battle royale happening between Trump and Musk, who may be even more addicted to posting than he is to ketamine.
