50 Cent took a swing at Elon Musk and Donald Trump, joking about how the tech billionaire really got his black eye
On Tuesday night (June 10), The G-unit founder hopped on Instagram with an AI-generated image of himself golfing with Trump.
“So what happened with Elon,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption. “Heard he let some punk punch him in the face.
His post stirred up speculation that’s been swirling since Musk appeared at the White House in late May with a visible bruise under his eye.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO claimed the injury came from a playful moment with his 5-year-old son, X. But the timing—coinciding with media reports about Musk’s alleged drug use—fueled online chatter that something more serious may have happened.
The jab from 50 Cent comes as Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s once-close relationship has publicly unraveled.
Their falling out began after Trump introduced a Republican spending bill in June 2025 that cut electric vehicle tax credits.
Musk slammed the bill for cutting EV tax incentives and threatened to fund Democratic challengers. His remarks prompted Trump to warn of “serious consequences” and accuse Musk of disrespecting the presidency. The conflict escalated with social media jabs, threats to end government contracts with Musk’s companies, and a $150 billion drop in Tesla’s market value.
Musk later walked back some of his comments, saying, “I regret some of my posts about President @realdonaldtrump last week. They went too far.”
Meanwhile, 50 Cent has been busy stirring the pot on multiple fronts. Along with mocking Musk, he recently warned Trump not to pardon Diddy and posted old clips of the Bad Boy mogul criticizing the president.
