Elon Musk clarifies statement he made about sending $50 million worth of condoms
On February 11, 2025, Elon Musk visited Trump in the Oval Office. Musk, known for his work with Tesla and SpaceX, brought his young son along.
During the meeting, a reporter raised a topic that caught everyone off guard.
The journalist asked Musk to clarify a statement he made about sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza.
“How can we make sure that all the statements that you said were correct, so we can trust what you say?” the journalist subsequently asked.
However, it turned out that the intended location was actually Gaza in Mozambique, not the Gaza Strip in the Middle East.
Elon Musk’s response to the question
Musk responded by acknowledging that he sometimes makes mistakes and that it is important to correct them quickly.
“Some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected.
“I mean, you know, we will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes.”
Musk then expressed uncertainty about whether sending such a large amount of condoms was a good idea.
He added: “I’m not sure we should be sending $50 million worth of condoms to anywhere, frankly. I’m not sure that’s something Americans would be really excited about.”
His response seemed to add to the awkwardness of the moment.
