A viral claim has been circulating online, alleging that Elon Musk stated pride flags should be banned in classrooms “forever” after defeating Algerian boxer Imane Khelif at the Olympics. However, there is no truth to this claim, and it has been widely debunked.
First and foremost, Elon Musk is not an athlete and has never competed in the Olympics.
There is no record of him participating in any sporting event, let alone defeating Imane Khelif, a professional boxer.
This fact alone disproves a major portion of the claim.
Additionally, there is no evidence that Musk made any statement about banning pride flags in classrooms.
No reputable news source has reported on such a comment, and there are no verified posts from Musk himself addressing this issue.
The claim appears to have originated from social media, where satirical or misleading content often spreads without proper verification. Many users who encountered the story failed to question its authenticity, leading to further misinformation.
