  1. Elon Musk has said a black eye reporters spotted during a farewell to the White House press conference with Donald Trump on Friday was caused by his son punching him while they were “horsing around”.

    The tech billionaire and world’s richest man had been working in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which was tasked with identifying “waste” and making sweeping cuts.

    Despite his contact coming to an end, the Tesla CEO will seemingly stick around the White House, as Mr Trump said “he would be back”.

  13. God I love a good dumpster fire. Thanks, Elon. You douche lord.

  17. True! His son just followed Elon’s prompt, lmao!🤣

    “When asked about the injury, he stated that his 5-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii (often referred to as X), was responsible.

    Musk reportedly explained that he was “horsing around” with his son and told him to “go ahead, punch me in the face,” which his son then did. He added that he didn’t feel much at the time, but it bruised later.”/ Copypasta

  21. His youngest is an out of control psycho, the rest don’t want anything to do with him.

  25. This reminds me of when my Dad – who was at the hospital bachelors appendix burst – told the doctor I hit him in the stomach, and that’s why he was in the hospital.

    The doctor got mad and told him not to even joke about that to me. Me punching him in the gut playing could have saved his life.
