Musk erroneously claimed that $50 million in condoms were sent to Gaza in the Middle East. He later admitted this was incorrect while standing next to Trump, stating, "some of the things I say will be incorrect and should be corrected."

One week later, Trump would embellish the already-disproven story and claim that $100 million in condoms were being to Hamas and used in makeshift bombs.
