The 29 wackiest lines from the Donald Trump/Elon Musk signing ceremony
Whoa boy.
The picture above says it all.
That’s Elon Musk, his son, X, and President Donald Trump — all in the Oval Office on Tuesday as the president signed another set of executive orders.
It was, well, a bit of a circus.
And, of course, the president and the co-president richest man in the world took questions from the press.
I went line by line through the transcript and picked out the stuff you need to see. It’s below.
This post is behind the paywall. These “lines” posts take a significant amount of time and energy. And I am the only person in the media doing this sort of forensic examination of Trump’s words.

“And he's a great guy, high IQ. He's a high IQ individual.”
The transcript starts in medias res. So I don’t know who Trump is talking about. But, again, he is obsessed with IQ. And away we go!
“We're going to be signing a very important deal today. It's DOGE.”
The Department of Government Efficiency isn’t a “deal.” It’s a department. It’s right there in the name. Ok, I am nitpicking…
“We want to weed out the corruption, and it seems hard to believe that a judge could say, ‘We don't want you to do that.’ So maybe we have to look into judges cause that's very serious -- I think it's a very serious violation.”
Trump seems to insinuate here that he may well investigate judges who offer up rulings with which he disagrees. Good times. Gooooood times.
“Sure. So the -- you -- at a -- at a high level, you say what is the goal of DOGE work -- work? And -- and I think a -- a significant part of this -- of -- of the presidency is to restore democracy.” [This is MUSK talking.]
What the WHAT? Like, seriously, what is happening with this quote?!
“This may -- same -- seem like, well, aren't we in a democracy?” [MUSK]
Last time I checked!
“So what -- I tell you, gravitas can be difficult sometimes.” [MUSK]
Yes, yes it can.
