Musk Explains Injury, Ends Government Role

Elon Musk appeared at a White House farewell event with a visible black eye, which he explained resulted from playful roughhousing with his five-year-old son, X Æ A-12, whom Musk encouraged to punch him. Musk joked that he 'wasn't anywhere near France,' referencing a recent viral incident involving French President Macron. The press conference marked the end of Musk's tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and President Trump praised his contributions. The event coincided with ongoing media reports about Musk's alleged drug use, which Musk dismissed. Despite speculation about his injury and allegations, Musk stated he would now focus on his companies rather than continue in government advisory roles.
