      I don’t. I don’t like Musk at all, but this business of calling him a lady as an insult feels like we slipped back a few decades. It has a bad taste about it.

        I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female.

        Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.

      No need to misgender him, though, we should just start calling him Trump’s sugar daddy
