ALBAWABA - The White House's official account on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) has sparked widespread confusion and debate after making two bizarre posts on the platform.
The admin wrote, "DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED" amid Trump's global-scale tariffs. Several X users called the post "cringeworthy" and "unprofessional," coming from an official governmental account such as the White House.
In response, a user wrote, "So the logic is - antagonise them, then reward them for not retaliating. Why not just make deals with allies based on valuing those relationships?"
White House: DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED
In another post, the admin wrote, "LET HIM COOK! 😤" followed by a picture showcasing a framed photo of Donald Trump alongside Vice President JD Vance in the White House. Several X users are debating who runs the account, with many jokingly stating that the mysterious individual is no other than Barron Trump, because of the admin's use of Gen Z language.
Both posts garnered more than 100,000 likes and millions of views on the platform, sparking debate and speculation.
Several others are speculating that the White House gave access to a newly appointed intern who is "chronically online." A term used for people who are always active on social media, scrolling reels, and sending trending memes.
An X user wrote, "Barron running the White House account confirmed."
Another shared, "yoo who gave the intern preworkout??"
According to The Guardian, while Trump has eased tariffs across the globe in a new announcement calling for a 90-day pause, the US President's trade war with China has intensified, as Chinese imports have spiked by 125%, while China retaliated with 84% on all goods imported from the US.
