Former White House Communications Director Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci has always had a Napoleonic complex, which causes him to try to act like a bigger ‘man’ than he really is. But the world’s richest man unsurprisingly had no issue cutting him back down to size.
Scaramucci was a guest on “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” on Monday, where he discussed various political topics, including X owner Elon Musk’s attempt to change Washington and Musk’s relationship with President-elect Donald Trump. It is unclear why Blitzer viewed The Mooch as an ‘expert’ considering his tenure as a Trump employee proved so embarrassing it became a meme.
The segment began innocuously enough with Scaramucci explaining to Blitzer how instrumental Musk was in the presidential election, especially in Pennsylvania. Then, the Mooch’s tone changed.
He mocked Musk for having “a little bit of Potomac Fever” and scoffed at the idea the world’s richest man could change Washington. Scaramucci compared himself to Musk by claiming he once had this ‘disease.’
The Mooch closed his segment by channeling a mob boss by issuing a threat masquerading as a warning to the world’s richest man.
“Stick to business…Lay off the gas on politics a little bit because these people could hurt you,” Scaramucci said. “There’s no need for you to get hurt.”

Not surprisingly, Musk was undeterred by Scaramucci’s nonsense when he saw the segment and dropped this hilarious and brutal response.
“Can he do the Fandango like in that Queen song?” he asked.
Can he do the fandango like in that Queen song?

Musk is referencing arguably Queen’s most famous song, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” One of the lines in the song is, “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?”
Fandango is a partner dance that originated in Spain. At the same time, Scaramouche was a clown character from Italian traditional theater who often wore a mask and was a rascal. But the phrase can also be a ghastly euphemism for being hanged.
Either way, Musk’s response had X users rolling in laughter.
Elon is hilarious
