Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently caught everyone’s attention during a White House press conference with President Donald Trump—not for his work, but for his visibly swollen and bruised eye. Many wondered what caused the injury and why Musk looked like this in such a high-profile event.

When asked about the swollen eye, Musk humorously explained that his 5-year-old son, X Æ A-12 (nicknamed “Little X”), was the culprit. Musk joked, “I was playing with X and said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face.’ And he actually did.” Musk laughed and said it didn’t hurt much at the moment but later his eye swelled up and turned black.

President Trump joined in the fun, teasing Musk by saying, “Did X do that? X could do that. If you know X, you know.” The light-hearted banter brought a smile to the room during the press conference, easing the atmosphere.
