Elon Musk confirms the real reason he wore sunglasses throughout the entire CPAC conference
“Those who saw him couldn’t help but be taken aback by his ‘bizarre’ appearance.
From wild accusations of secretly fathering a thirteenth child to emotional public pleas from his ex-girlfriend on X, Elon Musk is never out of the headlines. With his every move sparking media frenzy, the billionaire is always at the center of the press.”
“Elon Musk is fully embracing his role as chairman of the Department of Government Efficiency, taking it with the utmost seriousness. When he’s not busy rescuing astronauts from the International Space Station or fending off claims from his father about his parenting, he’s laser-focused on his new duties.
As a “special government employee,” Musk holds unique powers, even though he doesn’t have an official position in the White House.
Meanwhile, the head of the Department of the Treasury has vowed to cut $2 trillion in government spending. But that’s not all—he’s also facing fierce backlash from the public, all while being tasked with the controversial directive to erase financial records of millions of Americans.
Musk recently sent shockwaves through the world by targeting Medicare at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), but that wasn’t the most jaw-dropping moment of the event.
On the second day of CPAC, Javier Milei, President of Argentina and a vocal Trump supporter, presented Musk with a golden chainsaw. This unusual gift was meant as a symbol of the deep cuts Milei is making to his federal government. The bizarre moment unfolded as Milei took the stage with Rob Schmitt, Newsmax anchor, adding another layer of intrigue to an already wild conference.”
“What we once thought was the strangest moment—a science fiction portrait of Elon Musk—was quickly overshadowed by his latest antics. His appearance at the right-wing gathering left many scratching their heads, particularly due to his decision to wear oversized sunglasses the entire time.
Not only did Musk rock the shades and a gold chain, but his shirt proudly proclaimed, “I’m not procrastinating; I’m doing side quests.”
At one point, Musk became a walking collection of soundbites, dropping lines like, “I am become meme,” followed by, “My mind is a storm.” While Grimes was the hot topic of conversation, the second most-discussed subject was ketamine. X was flooded with rumors that the billionaire had been using the illegal drug, with critics suggesting that he could barely string a coherent sentence together.
In a surprise revelation, Musk explained that the sunglasses were part of a promise he made back in 2024: if Donald Trump were re-elected President, he’d wear the shades as a sign of solidarity.”
“At least now we know why Musk was sporting sunglasses.
During yet another memorable rant that’s bound to become a viral meme, Musk doubled down on Trump’s claims about the Fort Knox gold depository, echoing the President’s skepticism. Trump had previously expressed a desire to visit the military base to confirm the gold’s existence, and Musk expanded on this at the CPAC conference, saying, “We just want to see it and make sure someone didn’t spray paint lead or something.”
Following Musk’s statement, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon took the stage. Bannon, who has openly criticized Musk, once referred to him as a “parasitic illegal immigrant” attempting to “impose his freak experiments and play-act as God,” all while showing no respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”
“Bannon had harsh words for Musk, accusing him of trying to “impose his freak experiments and play-act as God.” Despite the buildup, many were expecting a showdown between the two that would rival the drama of a Mike Tyson vs. Logan Paul fight. But surprisingly, they didn’t share the stage. Instead, Musk’s critics seemed to fuel his popularity, with the billionaire receiving some of the most passionate cheers of the entire conference—and even a standing ovation from many in the crowd.”
