“Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper stated Elon Musk’s White Home press convention with President Donald Trump contained various awkward moments as he tried to clarify his Department of Government Efficiency, which has slashed authorities applications.
Musk stated this week it was “extremely essential that the president, the Home and the Senate determine what occurs, versus a big unelected paperwork.”
Klepper noticed a direct flaw with that logic.
“Wow! I imply, you see why this man’s a genius,” he stated. “You don’t need an unelected bureaucrat operating the nation. It makes a lotta sense. No questions right here. I do have one query, although: Isn’t that you just?”
Musk, as Klepper notes, wasn’t elected.
“Am I going loopy? As a result of it seems like I’m watching Drake sing ‘Not Like Us’ at karaoke,” he stated. “Does he not know?”
Klepper stated a minimum of different authorities bureaucrats should comply with transparency guidelines, whereas Musk’s DOGE is exempt from open data legal guidelines. Musk has even attacked those that have named the members of his process pressure, disabling their accounts on X and saying they’ve “committed a crime.”
“So, Elon, I gotta inform you: I don’t suppose you’re being that clear,” Klepper stated.
Musk has claimed in any other case, insisting he’s “maximally clear.” Klepper rolled a clip of Musk saying he expects “a day by day proctology examination” by way of the scrutiny he receives.
“Nicely, I did the examination,” Klepper stated. “And what an asshole!”
