The dark chocolate syrup coats the interior of the upper glass in his right hand, and the mixture is slowly being poured into the lower glass filled with heavy whipping cream, vanilla ice cream, and more chocolate soda.

He is wearing a white shirt, a purple silk ascot tied in a bow, and a dark purple velvet waistcoat with golden embroidered vines. Over that he has on a white apron and is wearing black nitrile gloves.

How much money did Elon waste trying to unseat Kristen McDonald Rivet in MI-08? $257,738 That's enough to buy a nice little house in the district. Sadly Tom Smith might need help buying a home since voters didn't give him the job Elon wanted to buy for him.
