We all know Musk and Trump aren't having an affair, so it's obvious sarcasm, not like the Buchanan-King memes, such as memes were in the 1850s.

The -ania is an allusion to Trump's wife. Why isn't she being the first lady? While I don't think very highly of her, that's completely on him.

So Trump is such an asshole his wife isn't really speaking to him and he's spending all of his time with this dude.

It's not black and white, and your caution is well-intended and should be well-considered.
