Musk Visits White House Amid Speculation Over Departure

Billionaire Elon Musk made an unexpected appearance at a White House news conference on Friday, where he was asked about a mysterious discoloration around his right eye. The question caught the attention of reporters and observers, who are now questioning the timing of Musk’s supposed departure from his role in the federal government.

President Trump defended Musk, stating that the billionaire “really isn’t leaving” as he marks the end of his formal tenure in government. This statement has sparked further speculation about Musk’s intentions, with some suggesting it might be a cover-up for other issues.

The news conference also took place on the day when President Trump set to end a program allowing 530,000 migrants to enter the US. Additionally, the CDC reiterated its recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination in children, contradicting comments made by RFK Jr.

These events highlight the complexities and controversies surrounding the current administration.
