Tesla CEO Elon Musk went viral on Twitter after he terminated his agreement to purchase the social media platform.
Musk announced late on Friday that his advisers sent a letter to Twitter formally notifying the social company that he is terminating the merger agreement.
Not long after that, Musk responded to a viral video of President Joe Biden making quite a blunder while attempting to read from the teleprompter.
Biden was flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra while speaking at the White House about abortion before he messed up the simple task of reading.
Musk tweeted, “Whoever controls the teleprompter is the real President!,” and added an image from the film Anchor Man, in which the character Ron Burgundy reads everything on the prompter during a live report.

The past week has been absolutely brutal for Biden and the White House.
On Sunday, the New York Times published a scathing report putting a new emphasis on Biden’s age, calling it an “uncomfortable issue.”
The Times report declared that Biden, 79, is “testing the boundaries of age and the presidency,” and went on to note that the issue is becoming problematic for White House officials and the Democratic Party writ large.
Over the weekend, a new batch of text messages leaked from Hunter Biden.
In the alleged texts, Hunter Biden calls his stepmother and current First Lady Jill Biden a “vindictive moron” and a “selfish silly entitled c**t.”
“F**k my stepmother for always being as much of a selfish silly entitled c–t as you,” he wrote to Hallie Biden as their brief relationship began to deteriorate.
Republicans are also saying that President Biden may have committed an impeachable offense with his deal to send nearly one million barrels of oil to China to a firm that has links to his son Hunter Biden.
In April, The Department of Energy sold 950,000 barrels of Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Unipec America, the American arm of what is China’s biggest energy company owned by China Petrochemical Corporation.
A photo montage of Joe and Jill Biden went viral on social media, leading some to speculate that the first lady may have been berating the president based on presumptions of his facial expressions.
The puzzling photo sequence, which was taken just ahead of Joe Biden leaving the White House to give a speech in Cleveland, led some online to once again question the president’s mental abilities.
The photos were taken by Associated Press photographer Patrick Semansky, according to the AP’s website.
“President Joe Biden speaks with first lady Jill Biden before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House, Wednesday, July 6, 2022, in Washington,” the newswire’s photo description reads. “Biden is traveling to Cleveland to announce a new rule that will allow major new financial support for troubled pensions that cover some 2 million to 3 million workers.”
The Western Journal notes:
In the first photo, Biden appears to be talking with his wife in a raised voice, judging by his expression.
In the next, his head is drooped slightly and he’s squinting.
The third photo, however, is what will get the most attention: Biden’s head hangs low, his face fixed in a childish frown.
In the final photo, a still-squinting Biden walks away.
GOP rapid response team member Jake Schneider tweeted it out as a “story in four parts.”

While there is no way to tell what the exchange was about and facial expressions alone are not determinant factors, the reactions online were immediate.
This is sad.
I feel sorry for him and still angry that his spouse would even encourage him to be in this position.— Therese Ruiz (@Therese37101329) July 6, 2022

This has been elder abuse from the very beginning and the Biden family and the DNC are all complicit and should be charged for it. These people are destroying our country.
