WASHINGTON — Users on Elon Musk’s X were thrown off by the billionaire sporting a black eye during an Oval Office event to mark the end of his 130 days in the Trump administration.
“What happened to Elon, appears he has a black eye on his right,” one account speculated of the tech billionaire’s appearance.
Musk arrived for the sendoff wearing a black “Dogefather” T-shirt and matching “DOGE” hat.
The mark was visible in pictures posted Thursday as well in a separate presentation that the ex-special government employee delivered.
“Yoo did Elon Musk get straight up punched in the face? That’s a left hook black eye if I’ve ever seen one. Might explain his delayed talk?” another account speculated.
Musk, 53, told reporters at the White House that this was “not the end of DOGE, only the beginning” and promised “the DOGE team will only grow stronger over time.”
“He’s going to be back and forth,” President Trump added. “I’ve got a feeling.”
