The double-appointment occurred at Trump’s ‘Assassination/ Resurrection’ rally in Pennsylvania, Trump channeling that time when George Michael, at a packed arena concert, got half-way through ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’ before announcing ‘Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Elton John!’
Having bounded up the steps, Musk then proceeded to dance a jig of joy like a seven-year-old boy who for once didn’t get picked last for the lunchtime football game, before prostrating himself before Trump and offering to kiss his ring.
