      “I just call it the machine, [the] big government machine,” Musk told attendees of his church rally. “And when the Biden puppet was not working out, they got a new puppet. But it’s still the same machine, obviously,”

      It’s like he hit adolescence in his late middle age, and is going through his edgy, “deep” phase. All he needs is some eye shadow, trench coat, and black fingernail polish.

        That’s a very evocative outfit. Maybe he could pose with it, in front of a poster that reads “Liberté” and looks like it was created by a high school art student.

      It was a joke. He frames the Democratic establishment as puppets (to a wealthy donor elite), and calls her one of those puppets. “Assassinating a puppet is pointless" is what he said, in contrast to his belief that Trump is not a puppet.

      Context matters. It’s a shitty joke, but one needs to fairly analyze what is being said here.
