'Top secret': Scribble on Elon Musk’s notepad goes viral

A message on Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s notepad during US President Donald Trump’s April 10 cabinet meeting has gone viral.

A picture on the X showed Musk looking ahead with a name card, a notepad, a pen, and an empty glass in front of him. Before him, there was the message “Top Secret” scribbled on the notepad with blue ink. It was also accompanied by two exclamation marks.

Netizens shared what the notepad could have inside it on social media with one writing, “The most Top Secret stuff is written in ball point pen” while another said, “He 100% wrote it himself with that pen.” A third commented, “Underlined twice, two exclamation points. The most top secret.

A user wrote, “Boys will be boys” as some also speculated that the notepad could have details about Donald Trump’s tariff plan as they referred to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s recent remark about the public spat between Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s top trade adviser Peter Navarro.

Karoline Leavitt said, “Look, these are obviously two individuals who have very different views on trade and on tariffs. We will let their public sparring continue and you guys should all be very grateful that we have the most transparent administration in history.”
