Many people on the internet are pointing out Donald Trump's 'uncomfortable' reaction to Elon Musk's $50,000,000 condom 'mistake' after the SpaceX founder was questioned by a reporter.
Yep, not a sentence anybody would expect to read on a Wednesday afternoon.
President Trump has been in the White House for just over three weeks, and to say it's been busy for him is certainly an understatement.
To be honest, the 47th POTUS' tenure so far could be summed up with two simple words... executive orders, and an awful lot of them too.

On top of that, you've got Elon Musk in his government, which certainly provides some, well, interesting moments.
The Twitter owner joined Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday (February 11), with Musk's four-year-old son busy picking his nose.
Musk was asked by a reporter to publicly correct a statement he made about sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza in the Middle East, when it was actually Gaza in Mozambique.
"How can we make sure that all the statements that you said were correct, so we can trust what you say?" the journalist subsequently asked.
The Tesla founder, who also forefronts the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), replied: "Some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected.
"I mean, you know, we will make mistakes, but we'll act quickly to correct any mistakes."
Musk also said: "I'm not sure we should be sending $50 million worth of condoms to anywhere, frankly. I'm not sure that's something Americans would be really excited about."
The reaction of Trump during this questioning is certainly interesting, as he was seen raising his eyebrows, shaking his head and smirking at one point.
Reviewing the moment, Twitter user @CyberPunkRoad wrote: "In this video, just look at Trump's body language and movements—it's clear that he's uncomfortable with Elon Musk. On one hand, he handed America over to Israel, and on the other, to a lunatic like Elon. He had no choice.
"When the reporter was asking Elon to correct the record about condoms for Gaza, which were instead for $50 million of condoms to Mozambique. I zoomed in on Trump‘s face. And he cracks me up more than you’ll ever know," another person on the social media platform commented.
Meanwhile, a third person penned: "Trump's reaction to that question is priceless," while another remarked: "Trump was looking angry there."
