Make way, Tim Apple.
Controversial billionaire Elon Musk was the victim of Donald Trump's latest speech failure.
The former president and current GOP candidate accidentally referred to the Twitter CEO of X — with whom Trump has increasingly developed ties and who he said last week he would invite to be part of his second administration if he wins the 2024 election — as “Leon” during a campaign speech in Wisconsin this weekend.

The jokes on Musk's own social media platform came quickly:
Leon Musk risked everything on a bullshit artist who never even bothered to learn his name.

You don't just say “Leon” when you mean Elon when referring to the owner of this app unless your head is full of alphabet soup.
