Elon Musk’s Oval Office appearance as head of the Department of Government Efficiency sparked controversy. Appointed by President Trump despite never holding office, Musk faced questions about a mistaken claim that $50 million worth of condoms were sent to Gaza—later clarifying it was actually Mozambique.
Musk admitted errors might occur but vowed quick corrections, adding, “I’m not sure we should be sending $50 million worth of condoms anywhere.” Trump’s silent yet expressive reactions drew social media attention, with users analyzing his discomfort.
Musk’s White House role, following his financial and PR support for Trump’s campaign, remains polarizing. Many wonder how his influence will shape the administration moving forward.
