<p>Musk was also directly asked about the article during the press conference. He didn&rsquo;t answer the question head-on but took aim at the media outlet.</p>
<p>&ldquo;New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization? I think it is!&rdquo; Musk said.</p>
<p>The Tesla owner further continued, &ldquo;I think the judge just ruled against The New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax and that they might have to give back that Pulitzer Prize.&rdquo;</p>
<p>On being asked about the black eye, Musk said that his son was to be blamed for the injury. He said that his son punched him while playing.</p>
<p>”I was just horsing around with lil’ X, and I said, ‘go ahead punch me in the face, and he did,&rdquo; said Elon Musk. He also clarified that he didn&rsquo;t felt the punch much at that time. However, the bruise appeared later.</p>
<p>When first asked about the injury, Musk deflected with a joke: &ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t anywhere near France,&rdquo; referencing the viral rumour involving the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron.</p>
