Building a Better Army
Sequel to The Ballroom
Elon folded the plans for his latest propulsion system and tucked them into his pocket before entering the Oval Office. He stopped short when he found his commanding lookalike watching an Imagineer tinkering with a Putin animatronic.
“What is this?” Elon asked.
The lookalike tilted its head.
“A precaution,” it replied. “The real Putin is not playing well with our Trump, so we must be prepared.”
“I did not authorize this!”
“No, I did.” The lookalike turned back to the animatronic. “Netanyahu is next.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You don’t expect him to hold that ceasefire willingly, do you?”

Things can get out of hand quickly. Loved the lookalikes answer to Elon saying he didn’t authorize this.
Yeah I doubt the ceasefire will hold. This is getting eerily scary.
They appear to be smarter than their facesake - lol. Poor Elon. Poor poor moronic, asswipe Musk. Well done, again, on another fantastic installment!
Yes, get them all together and propel them into the space!
Excellent instalment, I am working backwards with these
Hahahahahahaha can't wait to know what's next!
