One of the Weirdest "interviews" I ever watched.

[@michaelccozens]

There's a lot of focus, and rightly so, on 45's multitude of insanities great and small in that interview (his Sylvester the Cat impersonation being a bizarre one. Could he seriously not shut-up long-enough to reset his Polident?! Never mind; look who we're talking-about. Silly question), I think not nearly enough is being made of Elon yet again assuming he's an expert in a field and yet again demonstrating on a global stage that he knows less than nothing about it and was clearly too lazy to even skim the basics. You can't just pull a great interview out of your ass; you need to be prepped and trained. Musk also cravenly contradicted himself several times when he'd express a vague opinion on a topic and then immediately go hard reverse when 45 went full-fascist on it. Two deeply pathetic and unserious entitled white men.

Nah, we've seen lots of this before. 45's just too lazy and prideful to get dentures that fit right, which is a serious indication of a lack of judgement when you let so simple an issue make you sound insane during a speech on a global stage. Remember that this was 45's desperate bid to re-animate his campaign, but apparently that's not worth "making sure you can talk right". If 45 won't even put that little effort into something he apparently cares about as deeply as he cares about anything, what amazing new levels of apathetic negligence will he bring to the White House?
