Trump accused of using taxpayer funds to 'Uber' Musk and his son X on Marine One: 'WTF is going on?'
Summary
Donald Trump and Elon Musk raised controversy after Musk, his mother Maye, and his son were seen using Marine One, a taxpayer-funded aircraft reserved for the president.
Critics on social media called the situation "beyond outrageous," with one user comparing it to using "Air Force One as an Uber and the White House as an Airbnb."
Meanwhile, Musk has been making drastic federal funding cuts while Musk recently called Social Security "the biggest Ponzi scheme," drawing criticism from Senator Bernie Sanders.

Is this getting any traction on any actually conservative forum? Genuinely curious
I would bet against that. Rules for thee, but not for me.
I can't see why it would, they won
Let him ride the helicopter all he wants. Keep him up in the helicopter as much as you can. If possible, give him an upgrade to an Osprey.
Maybe one hovering outside its assigned are near, say, a major runway or something?
You know what's cooler? 2 rotors!
Sure, more moving parts.
So? When I say I'm Tired of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS LEECHING OFF TAXPAYERS what I really mean is Brown Men Women and Children should be in PRISON!
Jokes on the leeches. I probably have something toxic I was exposed to as a kid in that blood.
I was patient all along, but seeing him wearing a Half-Life shirt is just too much to endure. Burn the witch, I say!
I heard Gabe faceplate from here.
You mean to tell me that the guy who was convicted of the fraud in a children’s health charity in New York is using government assets for his own personal gain and to do favors for his buddies? Stop the press!
Wow a bought and paid for president.
Even picked him up on the cheap!
Official Presidential business, God King does what he wants; please move along.

A chilling, terrifying listen.
And please listen.
The sarcasm flag was to indicate that I'm not advocating for please move along.
It's amazing how much more I hate this asshole every day.
He's such a parasite
Just a bit of corruption.
The Supreme Court of the US recently ruled a little corruption is okay, as a reward.
As a treat
Accused. Are they going to do something about it?
Efficiency for thee, not for me.
like... i understand the hatred for everyone involved, but air force and marine one is only that designation when the president is onboard. the donut took these modes of transport and took people with him.
as much as i hate these people, this seems like normal activity and unworthy of a headline.
How many trips have you gotten to take on it recently?
