'Wasn’t anywhere near France, my son punched me': Elon Musk after making appearance with black bruise near his eye

Elon Musk

Elon Musk, who was recently seen with a black bruise near his eye, humorously said that he wasn't anywhere near France and explained that his 5-year-old son punched him in the face.

"I wasn’t anywhere near France. I was just horsing around with little X, and I said punch me in the face and he did," Musk said. The 'France' reference came from the French President Emmanuel Macron getting shoved in the face while on an airplane.

Further, during the presser, Musk addressed his DOGE tenure and said that he will continue to be an advisor and a friend to US President Donald Trump. "I look forward to continuing to be a friend and advisor to the president," Musk told the media.

While speaking about DOGE further, he said that he would continue to support the department that is "relentlessly pursuing a trillion dollars in waste" in reductions that will "benefit the American taxpayer."

Musk was heard saying, "We became, like, essentially the DOGE bogeyman, where any cut anywhere would be ascribed to DOGE."

Meanwhile, Trump said that Musk "is really not leaving", adding that DOGE is working on other priorities like "modernisation" of the tax-collecting Internal Revenue Service.

The US President also said that his administration is "committed to making the DOGE cuts permanent and stopping much more of the waste in the months that come.”
