Scott Jennings, a conservative commentator on CNN, buried his head in a trash can to demonstrate how he and other Republicans feel after the fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

During the live broadcast on Thursday (June 5), Jennings pulled a trash can from the floor and placed his head inside it after Elon Musk announced he was officially cutting ties with Donald Trump.
“Let me show you what every Republican is doing,” said the commentator during a segment of CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” He then buried his head in the trash can.
“This is where we are today. Heads in the garbage. That’s the state of everyone I know right now,” Jennings continued.
“I’m not going to lie. It’s an ugly day, and honestly, it’s horrible to see two friends fighting,” the commentator lamented.

Musk’s departure from the administration comes after the Tesla CEO criticized the president’s proposed legislation known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
The bill, currently under review in the Senate, proposes funding for various initiatives, including stronger border policies and the elimination of taxes on overtime pay and tips.
In closing, Jennings said he hopes the two will reconcile.
“I hope that cooler heads prevail soon, that the president can move forward with his agenda, and that Elon can convince Republicans that the national debt is a serious issue,” the commentator concluded.
