Elon Musk’s Press Conference Appearance Turns Heads
WASHINGTON: Billionaire Elon Musk drew considerable attention at the White House when he appeared with a black eye on his last day in the role under President Donald Trump.
Curiosity sparked among onlookers about the cause of his injury. Musk clarified that it was an innocent mishap involving his five-year-old son, X Æ A-12.
“I was just having some fun with little X and jokingly said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’” the 53-year-old entrepreneur told reporters, explaining how he got the shiner. “And he actually did! I didn’t feel much at the moment, but it seems these things can bruise up.”
The press conference was hosted by Trump to commemorate Musk’s departure from his position at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Despite his growing dissatisfaction with the role, Musk indicated he would continue to be a “friend and advisor.”
The backdrop of the event was marred by claims in The New York Times suggesting Musk had engaged in substance abuse during Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Trump remarked that he “didn’t notice” Musk’s bruise but humorously suggested: “X has that capability, if you know him.”
Musk’s son X, whose full name is X Æ A-Xii, was frequently seen at the White House during his father’s efforts to streamline government spending. He even made appearances, including sitting on Musk’s shoulders during his first Oval Office visit in February and was spotted engaged in playful antics next to Trump’s Resolute Desk.
In a playful moment, Musk took a jab at French President Emmanuel Macron related to his black eye. When Trump was asked about a video showing Macron’s wife seemingly pushing him, Musk chuckled and remarked, “Well, I’ve got my own little shiner here.”
Sporting a DOGE baseball cap and a T-shirt that read “The Dogefather,” he lightheartedly joked again when asked about his injury: “I was nowhere near France!”
