The leaked conversation among cabinet members reveals a general consensus of confidence in Elon Musk’s Starship project despite media controversy, along with a light-hearted exchange about a new local steakhouse and international cuisine.
March 15
Hegseth (11:44 am ET): Morning team. Just read a worrying headline: Is Elon Musk’s Starship Doomed? Seems the media are sniffing some controversy. What’s our take on this? Also, has anyone tried that new steakhouse downtown?🥩
Vance (11.48am ET): Personally, I’m not overly concerned about Musk. Remember when they said Tesla was doomed? Look at it now. Re: the steakhouse, not yet but it’s on my list.
Rubio (11:52am ET): Agree with Vance on Musk. Also, I heard the steakhouse is great. They’ve got some European chef though… I was hoping for a good old-fashioned American steak. 🇺🇸
Gabbard (12:14pm ET): Oh so Europeans can’t cook now, Rubio? 😛 You should visit Russia someday. They do a mean borscht.
Rubio (12:20pm ET): Haha, maybe when they stop mooching off us, Gabbard. 😏
Hegseth (12:22pm ET): 😂😂😂 Back to Starship though, do we have any inside scoop on this? Always good to keep POTUS in the know.
Waltz (12:30pm ET): I don’t have any specific data but Musk has handled adversity before. As for the steakhouse, I’m more of a seafood person.
Miller (12:35pm ET): I say let Starship fail if it’s doomed. That’s capitalism. About the steakhouse, I’m with Waltz on seafood.
Vance (12:55pm ET): Interesting viewpoints, gentlemen. And seafood, really Miller, Waltz? Nothing beats a good steak.
Hegseth (1:05pm ET): Vance, brother, you’re speaking my language. 💪🥩🔥
Gabbard (1:08pm ET): Steak, seafood, Russian cuisine… I’m getting hungry! 😅 And Rubio, if you’re free later, maybe we can try that steakhouse? 😏
Rubio (1:12pm ET): Well, I’ve never been one to say no to a good steak. Let’s make it a date, Gabbard. 🙏🥩
In the mix of steak banter and flirtatious exchanges, the discussion concluded with the group agreeing to keep POTUS informed on anything significant they hear regarding Starship’s fate.
