During the interview, the host appeared shocked by the statement and sought clarification, to which Errol responded affirmatively. He further cited a debunked conspiracy theory from 2014, referencing a joke made by late comedian Joan Rivers, who had humorously suggested that Michelle Obama was male. Rivers passed away weeks later due to medical complications, a fact that Errol falsely linked to her remarks.

Errol Musk continued to push baseless claims, asserting that evidence exists of Michelle Obama’s alleged gender identity. However, no factual basis supports these allegations. Barack and Michelle Obama met in 1989 while working at a law firm and married in 1992. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Errol Musk has gained a reputation for making outlandish statements, and his latest remarks have drawn significant criticism. Social media users and fact-checkers have dismissed his claims as unfounded conspiracy theories, reinforcing the importance of relying on verified information rather than misinformation.
