Elon Musk appeared to sport a mysterious black eye at his Oval Office farewell with President Trump.
The world’s richest man did not acknowledge the injury over his right eye at the meeting in the White House.
It comes after an explosive New York Times report that alleged Musk was using a cocktail of drugs on the campaign trail including ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms.
Musk slammed the reporting as he spoke alongside Trump at the farewell, saying people ‘can’t trust’ the Times and said he was ‘moving on’ from the controversy.
Trump thanked Musk for his work at the Department of Government Efficiency as his five-month stint in office came to an end, saying Musk would be ‘going back and forth’ between the White House and private life.
The billionaire was handed a large key by Trump before vowing that DOGE’s work slashing the federal government’s spending would not end with him leaving.

Musk’s role working for Trump was always intended to be a temporary stint, however his departure notably comes after he broke ranks with the White House and trashed its ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ earlier this week.
He said he was ‘disappointed’ in the president for ‘undermining’ the work he did at DOGE, in a parting shot before saying he was returning to his multi-billion-dollar businesses ’24/7.’
Many of the cuts made by DOGE have not been codified, but Trump said at the meeting on Friday he was ‘totally committed to making the DOGE cuts permanent.’
