Elon Musk had an explanation for the big bruise.
Appeared with a bruise: “X did it”
Elon Musk had a big bruise during the press conference. When a journalist asked about it, Musk first joked and said that he “hadn’t been anywhere near France”.
He was referring to the well-known push French President Macron received in the face by his wife.
He then explains that the accident happened when he was playing with his five-year-old son X.
- I told him, “Come on, hit me in the face”, and then he did it. I didn’t feel much when it happened, Musk says.
Dismisses drug allegations
On Friday, the New York Times published an article accusing Elon Musk of having been addicted to drugs during the election season.
A journalist tried to ask Musk about the allegations, but was quickly dismissed.
– New York Times? Is this the same publication that won a Pulitzer Prize for its false reporting on the Russia affair? Is this the same New York Times? Now we move on, Musk said.
