Social media users are mocking billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk after a photo of his notepad during a cabinet meeting began making rounds online, with the words "Top Secret!!" scrawled onto it in blue ink.

The Trump administration cabinet sat down for a meeting on Thursday, marking their first meeting since President Donald Trump announced his intended implementation of sweeping tariffs against many of the United States' major trade partners.

Underlined twice, two exclamation points. The most top secret. — cas~tel (@rudie_cantfail) April 10, 2025

"Everyone at this table is doing an incredible job," Trump said during the meeting. "By the way, I have to say, incredible. And the relationships are -- it's like they're friends. The relationships are very strong, really good, really strong. And these meetings are very good."

Musk, who was present at the meeting, talked about the achievements of DOGE, the department he heads, aimed at reducing inefficiencies in government.

"Thanks to [Trump's] fantastic leadership, this amazing cabinet and the very talented DOGE team, I'm excited to announce that we anticipate savings in fiscal year 26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion," Musk said at the meeting.

Why is the POTUS speaking like a 3 year old? Why is he always saying the same things and using the same words?
