Leaked Audio of Musk Crying to Trump Explains Tesla’s Death Spiral
It’s got the audio too…
Instead of adding the AI edit, you should remove the post until the legitimacy of what is reported is confirmed. Misinformation that delights us is still misinformation.
The world’s richest man, the guy who’s spent years cosplaying as Tony Stark, was reportedly bawling his eyes out in the Oval Office, begging the former President to save his crumbling empire.
This is so stupid. Musk even now could save his crumbling empire. He could do the following:
- Resign from the DOGE crap.
- Announce that he’s cutting a large check to every government employee he fired as recompense.
- Sell Twitter and make it a publicly traded company again.
- Announce that he’s done with politics and will never donate to a campaign again.
- Make a billion dollar donation to the ACLU and other human rights and civil society groups.
- Publicly apologize, blame it on the ketamine, and announce he’s going to sober up and focus on his companies from here on out.
He could do that today. And it would cost him a tiny tiny fraction of what this meltdown is costing him. And you know what? It would probably work. Sure, some people would never forgive him. And I wouldn’t blame them for that. But if he showed genuine contrition and a willingness to do what he can to make things right? Most people would probably forgive him. He’s still relatively young, and in time, his foray into politics would be largely forgotten, a tragic misstep on an otherwise bright career. In time his reputation would return more to what it was in the mid 2010s, rather than whatever the hell his current madness is.
Even now, it isn’t too late. Get out of government and politics, throw a few billion around as restitution, and go back to making cars and rockets. People love a good redemption arc. And in time, Tesla sales and the stock price would likely recover.
This would be completely out of character for Musk, so I don’t expect him to ever do this. But it does show that he is absolutely not the victim here. If he really wanted to, he could wash his hands of all of this. He holds the keys to his own jail cell.
Everyone believing this is the equivalent of our grandparents believing what they see on Facebook
This is AI generated and it should be taken down as disinformation.
Funny. Fake, but funny.
I’d say it’s not true, the bigger story or of this would be the leak itself.
Lol Dean Blundell the shock jock? Is this audio legit? Has anyone vetted that it’s not faked?
Too good to be true. And so the asshole part of my brain did a quick fact check:

Post it to twitter and Facebook anyway. Well see how quickly they’ll change their stance on fact checking.

He’s such a whiny little bitch, most thin skinned man alive.
Remember, he thinks that the whole world is a simulation and he’s the only real person in it, we’re all NPCs. Even Trump is an NPC and yet he’s crying his eyes out to an NPC asking for help. I reiterate, what a whiny little bitch.
Someone secretly recorded their private conversation and leaked it? How does that happen?
Seriously. Some rando is just recording in the White House? Can’t be a security risk there!
DOGE cut the security guard that checks for devices.
That’s what happens when your administration doesn’t care about people using their own devices. None of these people are using official government devices and communications protocols. They’re all using their own private phones and communicating via signal. In a normal administration, you would have to surrender any private electronics before being let into the oval office. But because they’re arrogant and don’t care about security, it’s easy for anyone there to record what is being said.
As far as why? Simple power play. Musk currently holds a lot of power and influence in the administration. And if he’s driven out, then that power and influence will flow to someone else.
We are 100% on OPSEC
I give this about a 5% chance of being genuine.
Literally anyone could make that clip. Some guy on substack breaks the news? Didn’t cash in by selling it? No one else reporting it?
The most unrealistic part for me is the idea of Trump expressing empathy and attempting to comfort someone. Seems totally out of character for him.
Published April 1st, so…
Actually, it was making the rounds on tiktok as early as the 29th from what I could tell
Here’s the extracted video
OOOOHHHH sshhhiiiitttt
=)
This is why April Fools pranks are not ok on text-based media. Which is what I think this is - it’s ridiculous.
Of course - there’s all those times we said “There’s no way that’s real - is that real?” and it always was.
Why is the link a screenshot of the post?
I’ll never understand why people do that
Omg the audio is so good.
Elon is audibly crying. Trump is like Jerry Seinfeld trying to be empathetic but he doesn’t know how
This is too much for me omg
