Elon Musk said he loves Donald Trump “as much as a straight man can love another man” – 17 very manly reactions, none of that funny business
Time to check in on the world’s strangest work relationship/bromance.
Elon Musk felt the need on Friday night to salute his new best pal, declaring just how he feels about President Donald Trump.
I love @realDonaldTrump as much as a straight man can love another man

Of course, Elon’s effusive tweet will have had nothing to do with Time magazine earlier in the day releasing a new cover depicting Musk as the real president sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office – an image that everyone agrees is likely to make Trump very mad.

It was also the day Musk was pictured in the Oval Office wearing an oversized MAGA hat for…reasons.

Sidenote, the qualifier for his declaration of love – “as much as any straight man can love another man” – definitely doesn’t do much to dispel the very viral notion that all these rich powerful men are “such losers”.
Anyway, people were moved by Musk’s declaration of very heterosexual love.

Men are so funny. We can’t even express our affection for another man without having to throw in a “no homo, ayo, pause” disclaimer. Then we wonder why our friendships don’t have the depth, connection and raw honesty that women have in theirs.
Bro it’s fine to love your friend… https://t.co/MbebTGBg2h

Interesting that Elon is professing his love for Donald Trump after Time Magazine revealed its cover showing President Musk sitting at assistant president Donald Trump’s resolute desk.

He’s worried about that Time cover. For good reason I suspect… https://t.co/XRSeMC3oXM
