Elon Musk's Black Eye: A Five-Year-Old's Punch and a Presidential Oversight

Elon Musk sports a black eye during his farewell from the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE), claiming his five-year-old son is the culprit. The incident occurred in Washington, D.C., on May 30, 2025. A journalist present at the event asked Musk about the injury, to which he replied, "Well, it wasn't near France, so... I was just horsing around with little X, and I said, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face,' and he did." The video shows Musk's slightly bruised eye and his lighthearted reaction to the situation. President Trump, also present, appeared to be unaware of the incident. The video's brevity and lighthearted nature make it a shareable and engaging news story.
