Elon Musk Shows Up With Black Eye to Major Event
Tesla CEO Elon Musk showed up at an event with a visible black eye, sparking concern.
However, Musk didn't hesitate to address the issue, telling reporters on May 30 who gave it to him.
The exchange came after reporters brought up the viral video in which French President Emanuel Macron may have been struck by his wife while exiting a plane.
That turned the conversation to Musk's own shiner, which is clearly visible in videos and photos.
'I've got a little shiner here,' Musk told reporters during the event with the White House press corps in the Oval Office, according to the New York Post.
Musk told a joke about the French situation.
'I wasn't anywhere near France,' Musk added, according to the Post. 'I was just horsing around with Little X, and I said, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face,' and he did.'
Musk previously announced that he is stepping back from his government work to focus on his companies, including his quest to reach Mars.
'Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face … ' Musk said, according to the Post, not completing the sentence.
Musk also sports the black eye in a May 29, 2025, video that was posted to X by his company SpaceX.
"The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary: an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX's plan to reach Mars," the caption reads.
Comment threads on X raged with speculation about Musk's black eye, despite his explanation.
The black eye is clearly visible in photos of the event posted by Getty Images.Elon Musk Shows Up With Black Eye to Major Event first appeared on Men's Journal on May 30, 2025

NBA rumors: Suns' Kevin Durant trade desires could hint at Karl-Anthony Towns
The post NBA rumors: Suns' Kevin Durant trade desires could hint at Karl-Anthony Towns appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Phoenix Suns are working on finding a Kevin Durant trade this summer after a disastrous 2024-25 season resulted in the departure of head coach Mike Budenholzer and a need to shake things up. As the Suns try to retool their roster in what's expected to be a post-Durant world, Matt Moore reports on his Hardwood Paroxysm Substack that they 'have indicated to teams that center is at a premium for them in any KD talks.' Advertisement While Moore notes there's still a chance Durant sticks around, he says fixing the center 'disaster' left behind when Deandre Ayton left is a major priority. This echoes recent reporting from The Stein Line's Jake Fischer, who said upgrading at center is a priority regardless of a Durant trade. Is Karl-Anthony Towns an option? Knowing Phoenix wants to upgrade at center, the mind immediately wanders to New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. In the aftermath of the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Indiana Pacers, the KAT trade chatter began immediately. While Towns and Jalen Brunson just led New York to its first ECF appearance since 2000, many have questions about if those two can actually win a championship together due to their defensive shortcomings. Bill Simmons opined on a KD-KAT trade earlier this week, citing Towns' close friendship with Devin Booker as a reason for the Suns to pursue the option. KAT and Book played together at Kentucky, nearly pulling off an undefeated season before losing to Wisconsin in the Final Four. If Phoenix truly has no interest in rebuilding, giving Booker a star running mate with whom he has a good relationship makes some sense, even considering Towns' flaws. Advertisement For the Knicks, this would be a drastic move given Towns is so much younger than KD and did just help get this team two wins short of the NBA Finals. Perhaps the thought is this run was a fluke and New York just needs to get out of the KAT business, which is essentially what Simmons argues. Durant isn't what he once was, but he's still a high-level scorer who could take pressure off Brunson, and Mitchell Robinson could potentially be the starting center. (Whether Robinson could hold up without getting hurt is another question, and that goes for KD as well.) The Suns will surely consider all options when it comes to a Kevin Durant trade. If the Knicks are actually serious about trading Karl-Anthony Towns, maybe we see some fireworks.
