At a recent dinner, Elon Musk shared the table with none other than President Trump. What has piqued everyone’s interest isn’t their discussion, but Musk’s unusual antics.

A video capturing this moment has spread across social media, showing the billionaire displaying some peculiar table manners.

The event took place on March 15, at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Seated next to the President, Musk’s actions have stirred much debate.

In the footage, Musk can be observed entertaining himself with a fork and two spoons, balancing the utensils in a playful manner.

Neuralink director and a mother to four of Musk’s children, Shivon Zilis, was in attendance, witnessing the spectacle first-hand.

The online reaction to Musk’s dining exploits has been unanimous, with many sharing their amusement or surprise at his actions.

One social media user remarked, “That’s not something you see at a dinner table every day!”

Others chimed in with comments like: “Reminds me of my childhood antics,” and “Just some engineering fun at dinner.”

Some even humorously critiqued, “Elon being Elon, turning dinner into a mini science project!”

Of course, there were those who could relate, reminiscing about their attempts to balance cutlery for approval and entertainment when they were children.

However, not all criticisms were harsh. Some appreciated Musk’s ability to blend playfulness with serious conversation, suggesting he might be offering a TED Talk and a magic show simultaneously.

Musk himself commented on the video, seemingly unperturbed by the mixed reactions.

On his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, he clarified: “A fork and two spoons balanced on the tip of my finger.”

Despite the light-hearted nature of this dinner trick, dining at Trump’s table comes with a serious price tag—a reported $1 million contribution per guest, according to the Daily Mail.

This makes Musk’s playful dinner antics with a few utensils quite a costly performance.

Recently, Musk has been closely associated with Trump, supporting his presidential campaign.

Following Trump’s re-election, Musk accepted an appointment as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), stirring further discussions and sometimes controversy.
