Elon Musk clarified that his black eye wasn’t caused by Brigitte Macron, noting he wasn’t even in France at the time. Instead, he explained that his son, Lil X, hit him in the eye.
Elon Musk: “Well, it wasn’t… I wasn’t anywhere near France. So, I didn’t get slapped by the First Lady of France. So, yeah, no, I just was around with Lil X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’ and he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually does leave a mark. I didn’t notice it actually at the time. I guess it bruises up. But I was just messing around with the kids.”
