While speaking at a MAGA rally in Wisconsin, the ex-President got the SpaceX founder's name hilariously wrong—and people on X pounced.

Former President Donald Trump was mocked after totally flubbing billionaire Elon Musk's name at a rally—a gaffe so ridiculous that people on X, which Musk owns, quickly pounced.

You'd think, given how closely Trump and Musk are aligned, that Trump would actually get Musk's name right. But that's not what happened during a campaign rally in Wisconsin.


Trump referred to Musk as "Leon" in the following word salad remarks:

"Boeing had a little hard time as you heard, so they're going to save—Leon's going to send up a rocket. He looks forward to it. That's all he thinks about is things like that."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

X users wasted no time, quickly mocking Trump's latest gaffe.



Musk has thrown his support behind Trump in this election, reportedly pledging $45 million a month to Trump's campaign—a pledge he later denied. He now claims to be directing his funds into his own pro-Trump political action committee, AmericaPAC.

America PAC has already received support from some of Musk’s friends and allies in the tech industry, according to the New York Times. This includes Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of the software company Palantir alongside Peter Thiel, a significant political donor to Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Trump and Musk have discussed a potential advisory role for him in the event Trump returns to the White House. Trump and Musk have also reportedly explored ways to grant Musk formal input and influence over border security and economic policies, areas where Musk has recently been more outspoken.

A few days ago, Trump announced that if elected president, he would appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency commission with broad authority. This role could give Musk significant influence over regulations impacting corporate America, including industries where his own companies operate.

As expected, Trump did not provide solid details about how this commission would work, only saying it would carry out audits and make recommendations.

On Saturday, February 21, the X account Thomas Sowell Quotes (@ThomasSowell) posted a video of platform owner Elon Musk speaking to former Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson. The post didn't include tags or hashtags.

The 43-second clip, from an over one hour interview, featured the pair laughing about the disparity between the prosecution of the violent insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, versus Jeffrey Epstein's friends and clients who trafficked and sexually exploited young women and children.

The development followed the Americans’ victory over Canada to claim gold in Thursday’s Olympic women’s hockey final. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team also captured gold on Sunday with another win over Canada.

C-SPAN Issues Clarification After Video Goes Viral Of Man Who Sounds Like Trump Calling Into C-SPAN Under Fake Name

C-SPAN issued a clarification after a caller identifying himself as “John Barron” — a pseudonym long associated with Donald Trump — phoned into its program Washington Journal, leading some viewers to suspect the president had personally joined the broadcast.

The caller, identified as "John Barron" and described as a Republican from Virginia, drew attention for a voice that closely resembled that of Trump as he criticized what he called the Supreme Court’s “worst decision” against his emergency tariffs. The name itself raised eyebrows, since "John Barron" was a pseudonym Trump frequently used in the 1980s when speaking to reporters while posing as his own spokesman.
