Musk declares ‘love’ to Trump and celebrates the return of plastic straws

The tycoon exults over the US administration’s new environmental ‘turn’ and crowns the president as the best ever

Turning back some people really like it. Too much. Elon Musk has decided to express his affection for Donald Trump with a post on X that leaves no room for interpretation: ‘I love Donald Trump as much as a heterosexual can love another man’ . Romantic statement? No, but certainly a sign of high esteem. After all, the Tesla founder, now head of the Department of Government Efficiency in the Trump administration, has never hidden his sympathy for the president.

This time, the reason for Musk’s enthusiasm is one of the ‘big reforms’ of the Trump era: the return of plastic straws…
With a stroke of the pen, the president has erased the restrictions introduced by Biden to favour paper alternatives, returning the US to a stricter… and less biodegradable future. A holy hand for the environment in short….
‘It’s back to plastic’ , Trump wrote, triggering virtual applause from Musk, who unhesitatingly called him ‘the greatest president of all time’ .

During the day, Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and, inevitably, at the press conference came the question about his most recent admirer. The answer? A smile and a sibylline comment: ‘What does the first lady think? I think it suits her somehow…’ .
