Controversial billionaire Elon Musk was the victim of Donald Trump’s latest speaking stumble.

The gags on Musk’s own social media platform came fast:
Leon Musk risked it all on a bullshit artist who never even bothered to learn his name.— Kim (@kim) September 7, 2024
Wow, he can’t even get Elmo‘s name right.— Patricia (@Trishalla2012) September 7, 2024
