**Musk Sports Black Eye at White House, Claims Playful Punch From Son**

**WASHINGTON, D.C. -** Elon Musk raised eyebrows at the White House Friday, sporting a noticeable black eye during a ceremony marking the end of his 130-day tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk, dressed in a “Dogefather” t-shirt and cap, appeared alongside President Donald Trump who praised his contributions to the country.

When questioned about the injury, Musk, 53, joked that he received it from a playful punch from his five-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, stating he challenged his son to punch him in the face. The explanation, however, fueled speculation online, with many questioning the true origin of the bruise.

Despite the distraction, Trump lauded Musk’s work in leading DOGE, claiming his contributions were “historic” and presented him with a ceremonial key to the White House. Musk’s department reported saving $175 billion by cutting government spending, falling short of the initial $2 trillion promise, but still a figure House Republicans plan to use in upcoming appropriations.

“This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning,” Musk stated. Trump echoed the sentiment, indicating that Musk would continue to advise him, stating, “He will always be with us, helping all the way.”

As Musk returns to his roles at Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and X, he leaves Washington with a higher political profile and a commitment to remain an advisor to President Trump.
