50 million in condoms for Gaza? “Some of the things I say will be wrong”
Elon Musk also admitted that “some of the things I say will be wrong” when he was asked about allegations made on his social platform, X, and by the White House, about sending condoms to Gaza.
“Some of the things I say will be wrong and must be corrected. No one always gets it right. I mean … Let’s make mistakes, but we will act quickly to correct any mistake, ”said Musk in the Oval Room, always next to the president.
“So you know … I’m not sure that we should send $ 50 million in condoms anywhere, honestly, I don’t know if that would enthusiastic the Americans. And this is really a huge number of condoms when you think about it. But, you know, if I had gone to Mozambique instead of Gaza, well, it wouldn’t be so bad. But yet you know, why are we doing this? ”Continued the richest man in the world.
White House President and Secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier that there was a federal plan to spend $ 50 million on condoms to Gaza.
Global Gaza and US help experts previously said CNN that they were perplexed with the claim that the US was planning to spend this amount on condoms to Gaza.

Federal employees accumulated “tens of millions of dollars” in heritage
Elon Musk also said he is interested in investigating federal employees with high salaries.
“We found it a little strange that there are several people in the bureaucracy who apparently have a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow can accumulate tens of millions of dollars in liquid assets while they occupy this position,” said Musk in the oval room.
Without presenting evidence, the billionaire accused civil servants of “getting rich at the expense of taxpayers” and said he wants to investigate the case.
“We are just curious to know where this money comes from,” said Musk about the salaries of federal employees. “They may be very good to invest – and in this case we might be to follow their investment councils. But there seems to be a certain mystery about how rich they become. ”
