Move over Tim Apple.
Controversial billionaire Elon Musk was the victim of Donald Trump’s latest speaking stumble.
The former president and current GOP nominee this weekend accidentally referred to the Twitter-turned-X CEO — who Trump has become increasingly allied with and only last week Trump said he’d invite to form part of his second administration if he wins the 2024 election — as “Leon” during a campaign speech in Wisconsin.
Watch the video here:
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.

You don’t just say “Leon” when you mean Elon if you’re referring to the owner of this app unless your mind is alphabet soup.
