After quitting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Tesla CEO appeared alongside US President Donald Trump at the Oval Office. Meanwhile, what drew attention was a black bruise near his right eye, which Musk attributed to his five-year-old son, who ‘punched’ him on the face. Musk explained the bruise by saying he had been “horsing around” with his young son. “I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,” he said. “And he did.” Later, Trump also quipped, “That was X that did that? …X could do it. If you knew X.”
