“I was just horsing around with little X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’ and he did,” Mr. Musk explained after a reporter asked him if he was OK.

Make sure to include Elon himself on that list of suspects.

I wouldn't put it past the dude to kick his own ass ala Liar Liar to try and get sympathy.

There's no fucking way of 5 year old gave him that black eye with just his fist. That's a I took too much ketamine and passed out black eye.

“I was just horsing around with little X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’ and he did”

"Oh the black eye? It's nothing, I was just teaching my 5-year old to punch me in the face, because that's a normal and healthy thing to do"

That wee guy is a psychopath, bet our kids end up having to deal with his reign.

Yeah I was punched in the face frequently in my 20s and it’s surprisingly hard to give someone a black eye. Looks like he’s been legless and cunted it into a coffee table

Any of those drugs he's on make you bruise easy?

neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

Not particularly. Its very likely he got hit in the eye by something, or someone.
