Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House,” Trump wrote in a publish on Reality Social—an occasion that can almost certainly be much more extremely watched now that the Instances’ report dropped and reporters will wish to learn about Musk’s drug use.

Whereas Trump has embraced the drug-using Musk—regardless of his erratic conduct and sloppy work that has endangered lives and livelihoods—he has on the similar time tried to punish low-income drug customers by making an attempt to strip them of their Medicaid and unemployment insurance coverage.
