Elon Musk and Fox News tried to get a "gotcha" on Pete Buttigieg, and...

[George II]

...he almost answered without snickering. But you can see him trying to hold back a smirk.

Crux of the issue: "Why wasn't Tesla invited to the recent White House event?" Pete's just so smooth!

1. Smooth and sweet, Pete!

[sdfernando]

2. Apparently Elon Musk is not aware

that his electric vehicles don't have tail-pipes.

3. He's sooooo good - our first openly gay President

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. I can't wait to vote for Sec. Pete for POTUS, and it has nothing to do w/him being gay

It has everything to do with him being brilliant and (by the time it happens) imminently qualified ... the first openly gay POTUS is just a fun bonus

[lisa58]

6. 100% agreement - it's all about being qualified

[Bristlecone]

5. I was thinking Elon Musk is a tail pipe.

8. yep, I think Elon is just pissed that he doesn't have his own rocket ship shaped like a...........nt

[brush]

7. Heehee. He's too sharp for those gotcha attempts.

[paleotn]

9. Why? Because they're interested in real solutions....

Not little boys playing with cars and space ships.

[Politicub]

10. LOL!

Secretary Pete and Jen Psaki are masters of the comebacks to stupid questions.

[reACTIONary]

11. Now that's a "pivot" to ....

.... substance. Well done!

[MAJones]

12. Tesla

They are real solutions. They helped to jump start the production of electric vehicles. Even if most people can't afford one they are a viable alternative to gas powered cars. You just have to decide what your priorities are. My son and daughter in law believe changing to an electric car is important and they want a tesla so they are working towards that goal. I purchased a Chevy Bolt last month because talk is cheap. I am working towards purchasing solar panels to make it cheaper and cleaner to power my car. Elon Musk is providing alternatives. I love Secretary Pete but I don't think it necessary to bash Musk who is on our side when it comes to climate.

15. the event was for cars with gas engines and tail pipes. musk does not have those therefore he was

not invited. not bashing

[Dreampuff]

13. Pete was actually my choice for president.

By the time I got to vote in the primary, I don't believe he was in the race anymore, but he will be a wonderful president someday.

[joetheman]

14. I love him!!

16. Beautiful!
