Billionaire Elon Musk Leaves White House Press Conference with a Black Eye
Let's get this straight – billionaire Elon Musk, known for his zany antics, graced a press conference in the Oval Office recently, sporting a shiner that had everyone buzzing. As discussed on our site, it wasn't his flamboyant personality that grabbed everyone's attention; it was the black eye under his right eye.
According to Fox News, Musk was at the White House for the last press conference of his term as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The idiosyncratic entrepreneur's bruised peeper set the entire internet ablaze, with users speculating wildly about the origin of his injury.
When the press couldn't help but bring up the topic, Musk quipped, "Well, I definitely wasn't in France" – a jab at the recent scandal involving the French President Emmanuel Macron. He later spilled the beans, revealing that his five-year-old son, commonly known as "Little X," was responsible for the black eye. Apparently, he had asked the boy to punch him in the face, and likewise, his playful child delivered a punch that left a mark.
President Donald Trump, also present at the conference, probed Musk about the origins of his battle wound. Musk confirmed that it was indeed his son who gave him the bashing.
Musk ended his term at DOGE, having saved the government a whopping $175 billion, according to data on the official DOGE website[1]. As a parting gift, Trump presented Musk with a golden key to the White House for his exceptional service[1].
A few days prior, Musk announced his resignation as "special government employee" and thanked Trump for the chance to effectively slash government spending[2]. He expressed his faith in DOGE's future, adding that the department's mission would only grow stronger with time, becoming a new way of life for the entire government[2].
