The Whit House AI went all out.
The White House on Monday leveled a sharply personal attack against CNN reporter Kristen Holmes after she asked President Donald Trump a pointed question during a news conference, crossing a barrier rarely breached by politicians to invoke her children.
“Jon Ossoff said you’d rather travel with your aide Natalie Harp and build the ballroom than do your job as president,” Holmes said. “What is your response?”
Trump answered Holmes’s question with an insult to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia), whom he called a “Pee-wee Herman look-alike,” referring to the Paul Reubens character.
Then the White House’s “rapid response” account on X took up the altercation, posting a video clip of the exchange and assailing Holmes as a “disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession.”
In a follow-up tweet, the account dipped into a more personal line of attack: “Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question,” the White House wrote. “They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling.”
That kind of response requires Musk opening up the Twitter API to direct manipulation from the White House Autonomous AI Agent.

@Bumbles Looks like the White House Twitter account, is controlled by an autonomous AI agent that can post on behalf the White House.
Twitter, formerly X, has a programatic interface, allowing software developers, to take control, and post/delete on behalf of something called Developer Account.
I had one of those, until Musk decided to cancel it, because I did not agree to the new terms.
To post on behalf of the White House, you need Musk's stamp of approval. And given that Musk is spending $100M on the mid-term elections, pushing content on behalf of MAGA, I'd say he kissed and made up with Trump.
