Key takeaways from Donald Trump’s first cabinet meeting with Elon Musk

Acidly: In a bizarre cabinet meeting, Trump hosted billionaire tech support guru Musk—who waved a "tech support" T-shirt like it was a superhero cape—while plotting layoffs in the bureaucracy. Musk, channelling a dystopian HR nightmare, insisted federal employees needed to prove they're not dead to keep their jobs. Meanwhile, Trump juggled a “gold card” immigration plan for the wealthy, and pondered unraveling trade with Canada and Mexico. As usual, logic took a holiday, and sanity was left at the door.

Acidly: Michelle Trachtenberg, the angst-ridden sister on “Buffy,” was found dead in a Manhattan apartment at 39. Authorities are claiming no foul play, which is a relief—who wants an investigation ruining the image of our troubled 90s icon?

A proud product of Hollywood, she dodged addiction like a pro, but ultimately couldn’t escape her tragic fate. Bravo, life.

Fingers crossed they fixed that pesky code. If not, prepare for another comedy show in space!
