Move over Tim Apple.
Controversial billionaire Elon Musk was the victim of Donald Trump’s latest speaking stumble.
The former president and current Republican nominee accidentally referred to the Twitter-turned-X CEO — who only last week Trump said he’d invite to be a part of his second administration if he wins the 2024 election — as “Leon” during a campaign speech in Wisconsin this weekend.

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.
