The corresponding conspiracy theory originated from stand-up comedian Joan Rivers' jokes in 2014. It has been repeatedly debunked by many media outlets, but it remains popular among the far-right in the United States.
The father of American businessman Elon Musk, Errol Musk, said that he considers the wife of the 44th US President Barack Obama to be his husband. He said this in an interview with Joshua Rubin on the Wide Awake Podcast.
Mr. Musk answered the host's question in the affirmative whether he considered Michelle Obama a man, after which he gave a very strange argument, and later openly insulted the former First Lady of the United States, Focus writes.
“Of course, what didn't you know?” Musk Sr. said frankly, continuing to present his arguments.
Musk's father then said that Michelle Obama "is a man" and that there is evidence of that, where she was allegedly in a tracksuit, and there was supposedly a male genitalia visible.
“She has photos in tracksuits showing her 9-inch dick hanging down… like another leg!” Errol added.
At the same time, American media reports that Musk Sr. has been re-spreading an old conspiracy theory that went viral in 2014. It was then that famous stand-up comedian Joan Rivers joked about the former first lady's gender and poked fun at President Barack Obama for being "gay."
“Rivers died on September 4, 2014, of brain damage from complications after surgery. Despite Errol Musk’s insinuations, there is no evidence that her comments were in any way involved. This theory has been debunked repeatedly, but it continues to circulate in far-right circles,” the journalists write.
Barack and Michelle Obama are known to have started dating in 1989, when they worked together at the same law firm. They married three years later, and the couple had two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.
