Elon Musk has been savagely trolled after many people on the internet spotted what was written on a piece in front of him during a cabinet meeting.
Musk heads up the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE) within Donald Trump’s Administration, which is tasked with cutting federal costs, modernizing federal technology, ending fraud and a waste of taxpayer money, while improving overall governmental productivity.
Considering the Twitter owner doesn’t have much experience as a politician, he does hold a key role within the Trump administration and is involved in cabinet meetings.
You’d typically expect cabinet meetings to be kept top secret, but you’ll all know Trump does things rather differently and the TV cameras are often allowed inside these usually confidential meetings.
And a photo of the Tesla founder in one of these meetings has gone viral after many on the internet pointed out the words written on his notepad.
“Top Secret!!” was scrawled in blue ink as the Trump administration convened for a cabinet meeting on Thursday (April 10), sparking a wave of online mockery directed at Elon Musk.
One Twitter user joked, “Underlined twice, two exclamation points. The most top secret.”
Another Redditor chimed in, “This looks like something you’d do for an 8-year-old on Take Your Kid to Work Day to make them feel important. I bet they even got him McDonald’s.”
A third added, “You just know he thought that was hilarious.”
UNILAD has reached out to Musk via Tesla for comment.
While some question Musk’s actual role in Trump’s administration, the 47th president publicly praised the billionaire just last month.
“Thank you, Elon. He’s working incredibly hard. He didn’t have to do this—he really didn’t. We truly appreciate it,” Trump said.
“During my administration, we uncovered countless scams — and there are even worse ones out there. I didn’t think it was appropriate to talk about them at the time because they’re so outrageous. But now, many of these schemes have been exposed and shut down by a brilliant team, mostly young people, led by Elon. And we’re grateful for that.”
“We uncovered hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud, recovered a large portion of that money, and used it to reduce our national debt and combat inflation. We got to it just in time. And this—this is only the beginning.”
