Does Trump actually drive? I've seen plenty of footage of him driving a golf buggy but I've never seen him at the wheel of real car.

There's a clip from yesterday where he's moaning that he hasn't "been allowed" to drive for years because "they" won't let him.
Your guess is as good as mine who "they" might be, doctors? the police? his personal security detail? the DMV?

Perhaps he is referring to his famous bone spurs. The ones that helped him to avoid military service.

Well, you’d never have thunk it, but Musk would seem to have out-Ratnered Gerald Ratner about a hundredfold.
From 10 April, accounts which impersonate another user or person must use key words such as "fake" or "parody" at the start of their account names.
The platform will also require parody account holders to use different images to the X accounts belonging to those they seek to represent.
Some users have complained about confusion caused by parody accounts on the platform, such as those impersonating its owner Elon Musk.

That's a limitation on my free speech which is expressed through my intense personal identification with God Emperor Musk.

Article is paywalled, but here's some snippets...
Musk has had at least 14 children with four women, including the pop musician Grimes and Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain computer company Neuralink. Multiple sources close to the tech entrepreneur said they believe the true number of Musk’s children is much higher than publicly known.
Musk refers to his offspring as a “legion,” a reference to the ancient military units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key to extending the reach of the Roman Empire.
During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.”
While Musk posts sometimes dozens of times a day on X about right-wing politics or his companies, among other things on his mind, he often interacts with lesser-known users. He replies to them and sometimes interacts through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to have his babies, according to people who have viewed the messages.

To be fair, if I was working for Trump, I would be on a whole lot more than the odd blast of ket and a couple of disco biscuits.

Someone on X asked Grok, Musk's X AI verifier, if that was a real video of Musk. The reply, without saying it isn't authentic, gave some flannel about Musk never appearing in the Oval office in that particular clobber before.
When I was a kid, Grok (or Grock) was a slang word for spit with snot in. Quite apt it's now the name of Musk's arbiter of truth.

Grok is from Robert Heinlein's novel "Stranger in a Strange Land". It's a Martian word which means 'to know fully', 'to understand on a deep level'.

DMV= Department of Motor Vehicles. Essentially, the DVLA.

I've seen a lot of this DMV stuff in comedies and occasional political speeches.
The American right seem to think it's a reliable common sense diss against the big state.
Those of us from developed Europe tend to view it as further evidence of American backwardness.
Having to go somewhere, presumably park, and queue up to do stuff we can do online in 5 minutes.

I'd assume there's some latent resentment about the fact that driving, the great liberator, is in some sense policed by the state.
