A picture of Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and the new owner of the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), dressed in Gulf attire has been making rounds on social media. Many accounts claimed that Musk himself posted the image on the “X” platform with the caption: “Introducing Sheikh Elon Musk.” In the alleged photo, Musk is seen wearing an embroidered Gulf robe with a white headscarf and a headband.
However, upon investigation, no such image was found on Elon Musk’s official social media accounts. It was later revealed that the image was published by a parody account named “Elon Musk” on the “X” platform, indicating that it’s a satirical account and not associated with the real Elon Musk. This account continued to post other images of Musk in various Gulf outfits, further fueling the debate and amusement among netizens.
