Famously, Jesse Helms (Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, no less!) made this exact blunder
I make no apology for calling him a provincial redneck, because that, to be fair to him once more, was how he thought of himself and even described himself. It was a scandal that a man with so little knowledge of the outside world should have had such a stranglehold on American foreign policy for so long. He once introduced Benazir Bhutto as the prime minister of India. All right, that could have happened to anybody. But what about the hearings on North Korea in which he made repeated references to “Kim Jong the Second”? In order to prevent any repetition of this idiotic gaffe, Helms’ staff propped up a piece of card on which was clearly written the pronunciation “Kim Jong ILL.” The senator from North Carolina duly made the adjustment, referring thenceforth to the North Korean despot as “Kim Jong the Third.”

AI was no help here
AI Overview: There is no public information to suggest Elon Musk is a “generous and giving lover”. While accounts describe him as emotionally sentimental and capable of unconventional, heartfelt gestures in his personal relationships, such as walking barefoot in the snow to get wildflowers for his then-wife, he is not widely known for being a generous and giving lover.
