After not having a White House pet for his first term, President Trump has announced that this time will be different.
During his Inauguration speech, the President announced Elon Musk to be the official pet of the White House during his second term.
Musk looked giddy during the announcement and then mimed licking the back of his hand and combing his hair (like a cat) while the crowd laughed in delight.
President Trump has it on his Day 1 agenda to find Musk an appropriate fitting collar and leash.
Unfortunately, for Musk, President Trump followed up the announcement by sharing that the White House pet will be “an outdoor pet.”
When asked for comment, Musk told one of his funny jokes, saying, “I’m still in the weaning phase, so I might still need a little suckle of the teat.”1
This quote is edited for brevity’s sake. The original quote is as follows: “I, uh.. I’m still in the, uh, the, uh, weaning phase, so I might have to… so I may have to still need a, uh, a little suckle of the teat.”
