From President Trump and Elon Musk’s Oval Office press conference, Feb. 11:

Q: Mr. Musk, you said on X that an example of the fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms were sent to Gaza. But after fact-check this, it apparently Gaza [province] in Mozambique, and the program was to protect them against HIV. So can you correct the statements? It wasn’t sent to Hamas, actually. It was sent to Mozambique, which makes sense why condoms were sent there. And how can we make sure that all the statements that you said were correct so we can trust what you say?

Musk: Well, first of all, some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected. Nobody’s going to bat 1,000. We will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes. 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. That is really an enormous number of condoms, if you think about it. But if it went to Mozambique instead of Gaza, I’m like, OK, that’s not as bad, but still, why are we doing that?
