From Fox News: Elon Musk showed up to the Oval Office on Friday to bid farewell to his official role in the Trump administration, but it wasn’t just the mark he made with DOGE that raised eyebrows.

It was the black one under his right eye.

Social media lit up during the livestreamed event as eagle-eyed viewers noticed what appeared to be a fresh bruise under Musk’s eye, prompting speculation about everything from a gym mishap to a political dust-up.


Social media was abuzz with questions about Musk’s shiner.

“I noticed Elon Musk had a black eye,” on user posted. “What happened?”

The curious journalists in the Oval Office didn’t let Musk’s appearance slide. When asked how he got the mark, the witty billionaire quipped, “Well, I wasn’t anywhere near France!”

His answer was in reference to a situation caught on tape between French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Marie-Claude Macron. Last week, as they were exiting a plane, Brigitte appeared to shove Macron’s face, after which the French president looked quite put out.

President Trump said he hadn’t noticed the bruise.

Musk then explained, “I just was horsing around with little X and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face, and he did.”

“X” is Musk’s five-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii.

“Turns out even a 5-year-old punching you in the face actually does this,” Musk observed, pointing to his injured eye.

Trump asked, “That was X that did that?”

“Yeah,” Musk responded.

“X could do it, if you knew X,” Trump told the press.
