Out of the mouths of babes. Or rather, human shields

What I was going to say!!!

As in the movie “The Dead Zone”

It has been hard losing my country and my husband within a month of each other. But God, you give me hope.

Rosemary Plymale's avatar

I'm really sorry to hear this.

Pam Reese's avatar

I am so, so sorry, Joni.

Susan Fanning's avatar

I'm so sorry, Joni. My condolences to you and your loved ones. Been there, done that; I understand.

Lois T's avatar

Glad for the hope! Sorry for your loss.

LJ57's avatar

I am sorry for your combined losses. We have a community here and we support each other.

Nancy's avatar

And we always will.

Hugs!

I would ask if this child had been raised by wolves. Unfortunately, I already know the answer.

Dad has about ten years before life get really ugly with that one.

Denise Hall's avatar

I disagree. It's already happening now!

Nancy's avatar

Hmm; what age are kids considered legal adults in South Africa, again...?

Or has the Musk Horde moved on, since they're not probably welcome there any more? ;)

Good grief. Why was this young child forced to be there? And why does he have such a foul mouth at 4 years old? Daddy’s example?

And why did not one media person ask Musk if he had a warrant to go thru people’s personal financial info, like the woman who he said appeared to have more money than Musk thought she should have? I think he’s making shit up. If they’re just downloading “read only” government files, how does that give Musk access to her bank accounts? If her (or anyone’s) payments are direct deposited to a bank account, do Musks goons now have access to everyone’s bank info? Shouldn’t this be making everyone terrified?

From HuffPost this morning:

Grimes Says Elon Musk Took Their Son To Oval Office Without Her Knowledge

The singer said her 4-year-old "should not be in public like this" after the child joined Donald Trump for a press conference.

Klm808150's avatar

do we really think she has any say ?

Lori Smith's avatar

It could also be that little x heard someone say to his dad, "You're not the fucking president. You need to go away."

Nancy's avatar

LOL! :D

And "shut your fucking mouth"? ;)

Donald Lipkis's avatar

And here I was about to say that the best thing Musk could do for humanity is to get a vasectomy. Yeah, I still think that.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

I wish his Dad had. . .

Sandy B in NorCal's avatar

a little late for that, yeah? unless "vasectomy" is a synonym for "lobotomy" - or something fatal.

Little human meat shields say the darndest things.

Jan Frederick's avatar

Seems like "Little X" has his father's X-rated mouth!! Kids only repeat what they have heard! I wonder if the Christian Nationalists are OK with this? God, are you using this kid to accomplish God's work, too, like they believe? I suspect blasphemy is in play here. Time for a good smite, God! Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen!

This reminds me of when I went up to our nutty neighbor when I was a kid and asked “Miss Ida, are you really crazy?” Having heard my parents describe her that way.

There was also the time my brother annoyed Pastor Ed (who succeeded Miss Ida as our crazy neighbor) because my brother’s compressor kept popping on while Pastor Ed and his group were worshipping at the Haiku Chapel. Pastor Ed came over and lectured my brother that his work sounded like a boiler factory and was interfering in their worship. My brother blandly replied that what Pastor Ed was doing next door sounded like a halleluia factory and it interfered with HIS work. SMITE!!!!!

I couldn’t hear Lil X’s words, but my hearing is not the best. What I have thought very clearly is - a child of that age has no business at all at a press conference with Trump and Musk, nor should he be riding around the White House on his father’s shoulders. Trump is going to have something to say about this kid to Musk, and it won’t be pretty.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

"Trump is going to have something to say about this kid to Musk, and it won’t be pretty."

Yeah.

Right.

Trump will say "Cute kid. Can you let me have another $290 million?

Brenda's avatar

My thoughts as well! Poor daddy can't afford daycare or a nanny? I know, it's all for show, like he's a real "normal" person.

Nancy's avatar

Few "normal" dads bring their spawn to work, unless it's a specific "Bring Your Kid to Work" kind of event. :-/

Corey Ann's avatar

I swear we're in the upside down.

Denise Hall's avatar

I don't understand why this little boy with no pronounceable name is frequently hung around his father's neck like an added appendage? . can't he be in some preschool classes to get to be around kids his own age?

Kelly Farrar's avatar

It started after United Healthcare. Kid is a human meat shield

Nancy's avatar

Kind of pointless; all someone would have to do would be to aim for the torso vs. the head.

Or just use a rifle vs. a handgun.

Kecia Lansbury's avatar

Also from the same hot mic session:

the kid told trump that he, “wasn’t the real president”. Who told the kid that? Who and what has he heard? This is all too cuckoo for coconuts.

Lucinda W's avatar

They're going to say it was altered with AI.

Maureen Twomey's avatar

P.S.: I want Elon Musk to go away too.

LJ57's avatar

Very quickly go away

Carol's avatar

It is horribly sad that a child that age would even know those words, much less think it was ok to say them to someone in public. What a horrible father Musk is! Does the child even have a mother?

Sarah L Levine's avatar

Grimes, his mother, has publicly said Musk keeps X from her for months & fighting the world’s richest man over a custody agreement is an uphill battle. I feel much sadness for this kid.

Carol's avatar

It would be interesting if people in the DC area who saw that clip complained to Child Protective Services - if Musk hasn’t already de-funded them.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

What is more important to you in your life than your child? If my kids played up in the supermarket, they quickly learned that I would scoop them up and take them out, leaving the trolley behind - even if it DID have the week's food shop in it. Musk should have said "I'm sorry, Mr. President, I made a mistake bringing Jr. This presser will have to wait" - then taken the child out and let him know his behavior was wrong.

Ruth Yost's avatar

Musk apologize?! I would give a $100 to hear that in real time. The money of course is going to helping homeless and immigrants.
