“‘Irritating’ Elon Musk given brutal three-word nickname in State Department….

Elon Musk is making a name for himself around the White House, and that may not be such a good thing. It comes as Trump caught out as he’s overheard making outrageous brag to his friends.

The billionaire has taken up the task of limiting government spending by slashing thousands of jobs with the Department of Government Efficiency. While President Donald Trump seems to have an unwavering loyalty to the Tesla CEO, others who have to work with him don’t appear to feel the same.

The sentiment among federal workers seems to be one of caution, as some wish Musk would go back to the private sector. It comes as Trump suffers a mental collapse after a ‘senile’ moment on stage in the middle of a speech.

State Department officials told Rolling Stone that Musk has gained a nickname around the office: “Crazy Uncle Elon.”

One senior Trump official said: “I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all.”

The source claimed: “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.

“But the word doesn’t do the situation justice. Elon just thinks he’s smarter than everyone else in the room and acts like it, even when it’s clear he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

Musk reportedly has an office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The building is among the White House complex, across from the West Wing, and houses the office of the Vice President.

Politico recently reported Musk added a television to his office so he can play video games. Photos were also shared on BlueSky of Musk’s gaming PC set up in his office. The senior Trump official added more unflattering comments.

He said: “Talking to the guy is sometimes like listening to really rusty nails on a chalkboard. He’s just the most irritating person I’ve ever had to deal with, and that is saying something.”
