In Friday's Oval Office goodbye with President Donald Trump, Elon Musk revealed the not-so-sinister source of his shiner. The 53-year-old entrepreneur said his young son X had thrown a face punch during some playful time with family.
"I was just horsing around with lil' X, and I said, 'go ahead punch me in the face. And he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually is. I didn't really feel much at the time but I guess it bruises up." Elon Musk told reporters. He conceded underestimating the strength of his five-year-old son, saying he hardly noticed the impact at first but developed bruising later.
Last Day at the Government Efficiency Department
The press conference was Elon Musk's final formal day heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he is relinquishing due to increasing frustrations. Although stepping down from the official role, he asserted intentions to keep on advocating for the administration as an unofficial advisor and friend.
During his time in office, Elon Musk's son X Æ A-Xii was a regular White House presence, frequently accompanying his dad on official work. The young boy had also previously made headlines by sitting on Elon Musk's shoulders during meetings and his frank demeanor near the presidential work area.
Making Light of Speculation
The timing of Elon Musk's battered look came on the heels of recent press coverage criticising his behavior during the 2024 campaign season. Nevertheless, the tech tycoon kept his trademark sense of humor intact, even making light of French President Emmanuel Macron while talking about his mishap.
When journalists brought up a viral video involving Macron and his spouse, Elon Musk made a jest about his own "little shiner" before cracking up again and saying, "I wasn't anywhere near France," dismissing any theories of the global incident.
President Trump, apparently oblivious to the bruise visible at first glance, recognized that with what he knew about X's personality, the kid was definitely capable of throwing a punch like that.
Moving Forward
Wearing a laid-back DOGE baseball cap and "The Dogefather" t-shirt, Elon Musk looked calm in spite of the commotion that followed his sighting. His resignation from the government efficiency job signals the end of a zealous cost-cutting program that sought to consolidate federal operations.
