Trump joked with reporters outside the White House, telling them "I'd like to put you on the rocket and get rid of you for awhile." SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who has strongly criticized restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus, posted a cryptic tweet on Sunday, writing "Take the red pill." The post was retweeted by two of the president's children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, writing "Welcome." and "Taken!" respectively.
