At a recent farewell meeting in the Oval Office, Elon Musk appeared with a noticeable black eye—but he didn’t mention it at all.

The world’s richest man met with former President Donald Trump for a final goodbye after his brief but headline-grabbing role at the Department of Government Efficiency.

Farewell Amid Controversy and Speculation

This unusual injury came amid swirling rumors following a New York Times report that claimed Musk was experimenting with a mix of substances including ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms while on the campaign trail.

Despite the report, Musk stayed quiet about the injury and the accusations during his White House appearance.

Trump Thanks Musk and Hands Over a Symbolic Key

During the meeting, Trump expressed his gratitude for Musk’s work, highlighting the billionaire’s efforts to cut down federal government spending.

As a symbolic gesture, Trump presented Musk with a large key, marking the end of Musk’s five-month tenure.

Musk Promises to Continue Cutting Government Costs

Even as he stepped away from the official role, Musk reassured that the mission to reduce government waste wouldn’t stop with his departure.

He made it clear that the work started by the Department of Government Efficiency would keep moving forward beyond his time in office.
