50 Cent has jumped headfirst into the public spat between U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, adding his signature brand of mockery to the mix.
The rapper and entrepreneur, known for his unfiltered social media presence, took aim at Musk’s recent eye injury in an Instagram post on Tuesday evening (June 10), further solidifying his allegiance to Trump.
In the post, 50 Cent shared an A.I.-generated image featuring himself and President Trump on a golf course. The image was accompanied by a caption that poked fun at Musk’s black eye, which has recently sparked widespread speculation.

“So what happened with Elon,” 50 Cent wrote. “Heard he let some punk punch him in the face.”
While Musk claimed the bruise was simply the result of roughhousing with his 5-year-old son, X, rumors have swirled online that the injury may have stemmed from a more serious altercation. Fif’s taunt added fuel to the speculation, even as Musk attempts to downplay the incident.
The feud between Trump and Musk escalated earlier this month when the president signed a Republican-backed spending bill that cut electric vehicle tax credits—a direct blow to Musk’s Tesla empire. In response, Musk lashed out at Trump online, even accusing him of appearing in the Epstein files.

That outburst quickly prompted a political and financial backlash, including threats from Trump of “serious consequences” tied to Musk’s government contracts.
Musk has since attempted to walk back his attacks, posting, “I regret some of my posts about President @realdonaldtrump last week. They went too far.”
The Queens rapper, meanwhile, continues to revel in the chaos, inserting himself into the Musk-Trump saga with characteristic humor and calculated loyalty.
