In a shocking turn of events at a recent tech event, Elon Musk sparked controversy when he called Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, a “princess” while praising Crockett’s victory over Roberts. The event took place at Tesla’s headquarters in Austin, Texas, when Musk made the unexpected remark during a speech about political influence. 

Musk, who often makes headlines for his bold comments, said, “Karoline is a real princess in the world of politics — smart, strong, and not afraid to confront.” He then moved on to praise Crockett, a prominent political activist, for her win in a heated debate with Roberts, a longtime opponent. “Crockett absolutely took Roberts down — it was a lesson in strategy,” Musk remarked, drawing cheers from the crowd. 

Leavitt, who has served as a spokesperson for Trump, smiled at the compliment, while Crockett, who was not present, reportedly shared on X that he “appreciates the support from someone like Musk.” It’s unclear whether Leavitt and Crockett are related, but the combination of their names in Musk’s speech sent social media into a frenzy. The hashtags #PrincessLeavitt and #CrockettWins flooded posts, with fans split between praise and criticism. 

Many saw Musk as trying to build new political alliances, while others saw it as a controversial move to gain attention. Roberts, hurt by the loss, responded harshly, calling Musk a “troublemaker.” Leavitt, meanwhile, remained silent, leaving the public to speculate about her true intentions.

The incident not only highlights Musk’s unabashed style, but also raises questions about Leavitt’s role in the larger political game. Is this the start of an unexpected alliance, or just another shocking moment from the eccentric billionaire? Time will tell.
