Donald Trump reveals what he said to Elon Musk

Tensions have escalated between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, turning their once-friendly relationship into a public war of words. Musk, formerly appointed as Head of the Department of Government Efficiency, fell out with Trump over the President’s “big, beautiful bill.” The feud intensified after Musk accused Trump of being named in the Epstein files. At Musk’s farewell appearance at the Oval Office, he sported a black eye, which he claimed came from playful roughhousing with his young son, X. Trump downplayed the incident, saying he didn’t initially notice the injury but offered Musk makeup, which he declined.

Public reaction to Musk’s bruised appearance has been mocking, with comedian Jon Stewart highlighting Musk’s apparent transformation from confident tech mogul to a weary political figure. Stewart compared the upbeat Musk at a Trump rally to the visibly tired version post-resignation, joking that Musk looked like someone who had just had a rough night out. Musk’s brief stint in politics may now be remembered less for his policy impact and more for the viral image of him in a “Dark MAGA” hat, “Dogefather” shirt, and sporting a black eye—symbolizing the messy end to his political adventure.
