Trump’s “uncomfortable” response to Elon Musk’s error

The inventor of SpaceX and Tesla, who is currently serving as the acting head of the recently established Department of Government Efficiency, responded to a variety of press enquiries, one of which was very odd and concerned a purported shipment of condoms to Gaza valued at $50 million.

Recall that Musk has received harsh criticism in some places for merely holding an active position in the White House. The 53-year-old has never run for office; instead, President Donald Trump appointed him to the position after he contributed millions of dollars to Trump’s campaign and launched a vigorous public relations effort on his social media platform, X.

As was to be expected, Trump’s first few weeks in office have been filled with events. The real estate tycoon has signed several controversial executive orders and made a lot of plans that are, to be honest, hard for people to believe.

The fact that Elon Musk spoke to the media from the Oval Office while carrying his 4-year-old son, X Æ ‘X’ A-Xii (we know), is just another chapter in the lucid fever dream we seem to be living, especially in light of the frequently weird events that have characterized President Trump’s life and, in fact, entire administrations.

However, it was undoubtedly strange, since Musk was compelled to publicly retract a claim he had made about providing $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza in the Middle East when, in reality, it was Gaza in Mozambique.

Following Musk’s admission that he was mistaken, the journalist questioned, “How can we ensure that all of the statements that you made were accurate so we can trust what you say?” Musk retorted, “Some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected.” “You know, we’ll make mistakes, but we’ll take swift action to fix them.”

Musk went on: “To be honest, I don’t think we should be shipping $50 million worth of condoms to any place. I doubt Americans would be particularly thrilled about that. The fact that President Trump was seated next to Musk at his desk during the line of questioning added interest to the conversation.

Additionally, the president was appeared to be responding even though he remained silent. Supporters noticed Trump smirking, shaking his head, and raising his eyebrows when Musk was responding to the reporter.

“Just look at Trump’s body language and movements in this video—it’s clear that he’s uncomfortable with Elon Musk,” X user @CyberPunkRoad commented in a review of the incident. He gave America to Israel on the one hand and to a crazy person like Elon on the other.

There was nothing he could do. Elon was asked to rectify the record regarding condoms for Gaza, which were actually for $50 million in condoms for Mozambique, by the reporter. I enlarged the image of Trump’s face. Another user on the social media site commented, “And he makes me laugh more than you can ever imagine.” A third joked, “Trump’s response to that question is priceless.” A fourth said, “Trump was looking angry there.”
