Elon Musk shows off ‘balancing skill’ at US President Donald Trump’s dinner, internet reacts

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently gained attention on social media for a balancing act. In a video shared on social media platform X (earlier Twitter), the tech billionaire can be seen balancing cutlery at a dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump. A video from the event shows Musk engrossed in balancing a fork and two spoons on his fingertip. The dinner, reportedly held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, US, was an exclusive gathering with a rumoured entry fee of $1 million per seat. Musk even replied to the viral video on X to describe his act.



Musk’s reply came after a user posted the video on X with the caption: “Elon Musk effortlessly balances a fork and spoon on one finger while dining with Trump. Peak genius and dinner entertainment 😂🍴”
Replying to this Musk wrote: “A fork and two spoons balanced on the tip of my finger”

In response to this, the user jokingly commented: “Wow, I heard you started auditing the number of Forks and Spoons at that dinner. 😂”

Commenting on the post, another user said: “It's definitely a physics thing. The way he's looking at it it makes you think he's thinking about the dynamics with some new technology he's dreaming up. He's always thinking about very deep things. This is part of his mind being a storm, I imagine. This is very much a part of who he is. Shivon Zillis is looking on and rocking herself. I believe she loves him and accepts these moments as she herself has a brilliant mind and understands ✨ 💕”

Meanwhile, a third user shared a zoomed-in screenshot from the clip to explain how Musk did the balancing act. The user wrote: “This is a trick which almost no one can do. And like this one, there are many similar ones. The uniqueness of this trick is that Elon Musk moves his hand left and right, where in the other tricks, the spoon and fork are placed on the table stationary, either held by a tooth pick or an empty glass cup. Elon has defeated gravity!”
