    Elon Musk's First Presidential Press Conference
    Feb 13 2025

    Elon Musk gives a presidential press conference from the Oval Office while Trump looks on. Musk talked about what's happening with the "Department" of Government Efficiency. He misled and lied about a lot of it and refused to talk about his own personal transparency despite calling for full open government just a few months ago.

    Grant breaks it all down because it was a lot.
