Donald Trump Mispronounced Elon Musk's Name During the Unveiling of a New Plane — Radar Online
U.S. President Donald Trump has once again become the butt of jokes online after he accidentally forgot the name of billionaire Elon Musk, calling him “Leon.”
A video of this awkward moment during the American leader’s public speech quickly went viral on social media and sparked a wave of criticism.
The incident occurred on June 19, when the U.S. president was showcasing his new “Air Force One” aircraft, a gift from Qatar.
While describing the aircraft’s modern technical capabilities and the integration of SpaceX’s “Starlink” satellite internet, Trump mentioned its owner.
During his speech, the U.S. leader made a noticeable mistake, which he immediately tried to correct.

“We have communications equipment there that no one has ever seen before. It’s top-of-the-line, including Starlink—my friend Leon—my friend Elon will be very happy,” Donald Trump said.
Despite the speaker’s immediate self-correction, social media users began actively commenting on the incident.
“If you’re Leon, are you more worried that dementia is setting in, or that the person you considered your puppet doesn’t even remember your name?” wrote one online user. Other commenters sarcastically added that from now on, the businessman is “Leon Musk for good.”
This was reported by the international publication “Radar Online.”
