Controversial billionaire Elon Musk was the victim of Donald Trump’s latest speaking stumble.

The former president and current GOP nominee this weekend accidentally referred to the Twitter-turned-X CEO — whom Trump has become increasingly allied with and who only last week Trump said he’d invite to form part of his second administration if he wins the 2024 election — as “Leon” during a campaign speech in Wisconsin.

You don’t just say “Leon” when you mean Elon if you’re referring to the owner of this app unless your mind is alphabet soup.
