Washington: billionaire Elon Musk raised his eyebrows when he appeared in the White House with a purple eye during his last day working for President Donald Trump.
Many people wondered what had happened. But according to Musk, the explanation is simple: his five -year -old son gave it to him.
“I was going through Lil ‘X, and I said:’ Go ahead, beaten me on the face, ‘” said Musk, 53, journalists when asked how the Shiner got.
“And he did. It turns out that even a five -year -old boy who hit you on his face is actually …” he added, before placing himself.
“I really didn’t feel much at that time, but I guess it hurts.”
Trump organized the press conference with Musk to mark the last day of the Tesla Chief in the so -called Government Efficiency Department (Doge). Musk had expressed a growing disappointment with work, but said he would continue to be a “friend and advisor.”
Musk’s appearance was eclipsed by the accusations in the New York Times that he had dedicated himself to the use of heavy drugs while he was in the Trump campaign in 2024.
Trump said “did not notice” the purple bruise next to Musk’s right eye, but added: “X could do it, if you knew X”.

“It wasn’t close to France,” he said.
