President Elon Musk has courted controversy by confirming a little-known reality TV celebrity and petty felon as his Vice-President today.

Musk, who was swept to power in a landslide victory in the November elections, had left insiders guessing who will do his fetching and carrying in the White House, and ‘Donald’ – as he is known – fitted the bill due to his naturally servile and shrinking manner.

”President Musk has a packed agenda for his first term, including increasing subsidies to SpaceX, increasing subsidies to Tesla, and creating the national Dogecoin reserve,” we were told.

”That means he needs someone who will be on the ball when it comes to putting two sugars in his coffee, and knowing when the big guy needs a shoulder rub.”

Donald Trump’s primary responsibility is going to be bumbling round in an all-fitting suit, talking crap and making Elon look great by comparison.

“He’ll be a natural for that,” we were told.
