A recent elevator selfie featuring former President Donald Trump, Kid Rock, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Donald Trump Jr. has sparked a social media firestorm, drawing both praise and criticism from across the internet. The photo, which shows the quartet smiling in close quarters, has quickly gone viral, igniting debates over its implications and symbolism.
Trump stands front and center in the image, flanked by musician Kid Rock and his son, Donald Trump Jr. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and X (formerly Twitter), appears slightly in the background, his signature half-smile sparking speculation about his participation in the moment. The unusual mix of figures has prompted reactions ranging from enthusiastic support among Trump’s base to sharp criticism from his detractors.
Online reactions have been predictably polarized. Supporters celebrated the image as a symbol of camaraderie and influence, with many commenting on the high-profile personalities gathered in one place. On the other side, critics have ridiculed the photo, calling it an absurd representation of wealth, power, and political connections.
The collective left took a break from telling us which country they are moving to, and who they’re not having sex with, to use the photo as a smoking gun of why they believe Trump should not have won the 2024 election.
