When he showed up today for a press conference with Donald Trump that was held in the Oval Office, Twitter CEO Elon Musk looked like he’d been in a fight with someone.
Musk had a black eye that was visible to everyone, so a reporter asked him what had happened. He replied that his son, Little X, had given him the injury.
“I was just horsing around with Little X and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face.’ And he did. Turns out, even a 5-year-old punching you in the face actually does [damage].”
As you’d expect, that set off plenty of commentary on social media.
So even his son has no respect for him.

Why would you tell your 5 year old son to punch you in the face?

As much as it would bring me great pleasure if his kid really did punch him and gave him that black eye, I am inclined to believe, much like everything else he says, it’s a lie.

Yeah because every parent tells their kid to punch them in the face.
