Elon Musk dubbed 'dork' over what he did at meeting with President Trump

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been dubbed a "dork" for what he did at a meeting with President .

Though the Department of Government Efficiency head's joke at the meeting landed flat with some, others have said the 53-year-old's latest post is "amusing".

His appearance at a government meeting with the 45th President of the United States drew attention to his notebook, and what he had written down during the meeting.

Those who saw the notepad have asked what the message could mean, though others have gathered it is a joke from .

The image of Musk at the meeting on Thursday (April 10) has since gone viral, with some dubbing the close ally to Donald Trump a "dork".

An image of Musk's notepad, which reads "top secret" had some in stitches but others reeling from the joke. One user wrote: "Incompetence aside I have to admit that pencilling the first page with 'top secret' crudely is at least mildly amusing."

Another added: "It's like giving your sibling a disconnected controller." A third wrote: "It’s like the stereotype of dorks was specifically designed around him."

A White House Correspondent, Edward Lawrence, asked Musk what the top secret items on the notebook could be, but seemingly received no reply.

He took to X and wrote: "Elon Musk at the Cabinet Room table with a pad in front of him that said 'Top Secret'. On the way out I asked what his top secret information was and if he had a sketch for a new car under there."

Some were left unmoved by the attempted joke, suggesting it is the sort of gag they would make while still at school. One user wrote: "This is what I wrote on my school binder before high school in exactly this font."

Another added: "He really does try too hard to be funny." Others have suggested the note was a reference to the Val Kilmer film, Top Secret. The star, who would go on to portray Batman in Batman Forever, died at the age of 65 earlier this month.

Musk hit headlines earlier this week after being ruthlessly trolled by gamers during a livestream. The 53-year-old streamed himself from a private jet, playing the video game Path of Exile.

But gamers did not take kindly to the appearance and "rattled" the tech CEO with a series of brutal in-game messages. One wrote: "You have no real friends and will die alone," while another said: "You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages."

A third gamer, who was later muted by Musk, added: "Elon how is it possible to look this dumb and ugly why is ur Tesla company falling apart." Ouch!
