A viral claim has been circulating online, according to which Elon Musk stated that pride flags should be banned from classrooms “forever” after defeating Algerian boxer Imane Khelif at the Olympics. However, this claim is untrue and has been widely debunked.

First of all, Elon Musk is not an athlete and has never competed in the Olympics.

There is no record of him having participated in any sporting event, much less having defeated Imane Khelif, a professional boxer. This fact alone refutes much of the claim.

Furthermore, there is no evidence that Musk has made any statements about banning pride flags in classrooms.

No reliable news source has reported on such a comment, and there are no verified posts from Musk himself that address this issue.

The claim appears to have originated on social media, where satirical or misleading content is often spread without proper verification. Many users who saw the story didn’t question its authenticity, leading to further misinformation.

Musk is known for making controversial statements on social and political issues, particularly on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). However, this particular claim has no basis in fact.

This incident highlights the growing problem of misinformation on the internet. Viral posts with sensational headlines can quickly gain popularity, even when they are completely false. It is critical that social media users verify information before sharing it.

So far, there’s no legitimate evidence that Musk made the alleged statement or that he ever participated in an Olympic event. This story is simply another case of internet misinformation.
