At one point in the First Cabinet Meeting, Musk, not really part of the wall behind Trump (his department heads I guess, I didn't recognize most of them) but he stood up at the end of the long table when called on. He seemed very unsure of his position or security in how he spoke. I don't think I've heard Musk speak like that in 10 years of listening to his interviews. At one point he said the I will do what the President asks or something. Trump interrupted him at one point, when he was talking about how some of the heads might not like what he's doing, and said they're here lets ask them and asked them, but then Trump made a joke like ‘If anyone doesn’t like what he's doing we'll throw him out right now,' and they laughed, some of them, and clapped. It wasn't clear if they were clapping in appreciation, or reluctant appreciation, of Musk, or of the joke to throw him out if any of his ‘real’ cabinet didn't want him there. I thought Trump could have stood up for Musk a lot more at that point and said 'Hey he's doing what I asked and if anyone has a problem tell me. Tell me.' And might have said that if anyone has a problem with Musk, they'd throw that person out right now. I couldn't tell if Trump just didn't handle it prefectly, which was possible, or if he enjoyed that Musk was in a defensive, unsure position. Most of the things said, replies to questions, everything, I've seen from Trump have been flawless, but still, either possibility could have been.
