The leaked conversation reveals cabinet members’ concerns over a global disruption caused by a failure in Elon Musk’s X system, its potential economic impact, and the need for a strategic response. There’s also a mention of the possibility of media misrepresentation and a note about Russia having a backup system.
Miller (8:45 am ET): Have you heard? Elon Musk strikes again: X goes down worldwide, affecting millions of users.
Vance (8:46 am ET): A disruption of this magnitude? Unprecedented. There’s potential for serious economic fallout, not to mention public panic.
Hegseth (8:47 am ET): We should be leveraging this setback against the liberal media. Mark my words, they’ll spin this into an opportunity to slander Musk and the free market.
Gabbard (8:49 am ET): I heard in Russia, they had a backup system in place. Not to play favorites, but they’re always one step ahead. 🏃♀️🇷🇺
Waltz (8:51 am ET): Let us remain focused on the issue at hand, colleagues. This situation calls for a calculated response, not diverging into diasporic chatter.
Vance (8:55 am ET): Agreed, Waltz. We should be thinking protocols and countermeasures. But honestly, it’s hard not to think about the irony in this. Musk takes us to Mars one day, and the next, he can’t keep a system running on Earth.
Rubio (8:57 am ET): C’mon guys, let’s keep it professional. We’re not here to roast Musk.
Hegseth (9:00 am ET): On the contrary, Rubio - this is exactly the moment to remind people that the private sector can too falter. And when it does, we are here to step in. 💪🏽🇺🇸
Kent (9:03 am ET): This is just a hiccup. Musk’s had a track record of getting things back on their feet.
Miller (9:06 am ET): I can’t stand the liberal media’s hypocrisy. They praise Musk when he criticizes wealth taxes, but tear him apart at the slightest hiccup.
Bessent (9:10 am ET): At least no one’s changing POTUS’ Twitter password now.
Waltz (9:15 am ET): Please, let’s maintain decorum.
Wiles (9:20 am ET): I second that. We need to discuss the measures we’ll take to manage the X outage fall out.
Rubio (9:23 am ET): Agreed, Wiles. With the nation in crisis, this is the last place for locker-room talk.
Gabbard (9:30 am ET): Can we just take a moment and appreciate Elon’s perseverance though? Remember that Cybertruck demo fail - and look at where he is today!
Rubio (9:35 am ET): It’s not the time, Gabbard. But, yes, he’s proven his tenacity time and time again.
Rubio (9:38 am ET): There’s something to admire there. And I’m sure we can navigate through this crisis too. 🙏🏼
Hegseth (9:43 am ET): Amen to that, Rubio. We’ve got this. With POTUS at the helm and us as his loyal crew, there’s no storm we can’t weather. 💪🏼🇺🇸🔥
