Following Musk’s admission that he was mistaken, the journalist questioned, “How can we ensure that all of the statements that you made were accurate, so we can trust what you say?”

Musk retorted, “Some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected.”

“You know, we’ll make mistakes, but we’ll take swift action to fix them.”

Musk went on: “To be honest, I don’t think we should be shipping $50 million worth of condoms to any place. I doubt Americans would be particularly thrilled about that.

The fact that President Trump was seated next to Musk at his desk during the line of questioning added interest to the conversation. Additionally, the president was seen to be responding even though he remained silent.

Fans didn’t fail to spot Trump raising his eyebrows, shaking his head, and smirking as Musk was replying to the reporter.

“Just look at Trump’s body language and movements in this video—it’s clear that he’s uncomfortable with Elon Musk,” X user @CyberPunkRoad commented in a review of the incident. He gave America to Israel on the one hand, and to a crazy person like Elon on the other. There was nothing he could do.

“When the reporter was asking Elon to correct the record about condoms for Gaza, which were instead for $50 million of condoms to Mozambique. I zoomed in on Trump‘s face. And he cracks me up more than you’ll ever know,” another person on the social media platform wrote.

A third joked, “Trump’s response to that question is priceless.”

A fourth said, “Trump was looking angry there.”
