An audio recording of Elon Musk, clearly upset and with his voice shaking, has gone viral. In it, Musk complains that “extreme public hatred” is destroying Tesla. The conversation takes place during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. In the audio, Trump tries to calm him down, saying, “everything will be ok.” While the audio’s authenticity has not been confirmed, it sounds very much like Musk, and his emotional response isn’t surprising given recent events.
This isn’t the first time Musk’s struggles have made headlines. Last month, the hacker group Anonymous claimed they had evidence of Musk breaking down in front of Trump due to his business troubles.
The incident reportedly took place before a public stunt on March 11, where Trump gathered reporters outside the White House, turning the driveway into an impromptu car lot to “buy” a Tesla from Musk. This event came shortly after Trump promised on Truth Social to buy a Tesla, showing support for Musk’s company, which had been dealing with boycotts and negative press.
But Anonymous claims there’s more to the story. According to them, Musk was “audibly sobbing” during the Oval Office meeting. The hacker group suggests this emotional breakdown may have led to Trump’s odd decision to host the public event. Anonymous tweeted on March 12, “So it turns out Musk was audibly sobbing at the Oval Office, which may have triggered the bizarre Tesla Whitehouse promo.”
Although there’s no solid proof to back up this claim, Musk’s recent public appearances show signs of stress. In a recent interview, he seemed on the verge of tears, talking about the challenges of balancing his business ventures with government involvement. “I’m just here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate waste and fraud, and so far we’re making good progress,” he said, while sighing deeply.
Now, this new audio is spreading online, adding fuel to the fire and possibly confirming what Anonymous had suggested.
While The Daily Boulder hasn’t verified the authenticity of the audio, experts believe it’s real.
