Everyone's saying the same thing about Elon Musk's bizarre table etiquette

Elon Musk has been mercilessly mocked online after footage emerged of the billionaire playing with his cutlery during an exclusive dinner with President Donald Trump.

The Tesla CEO and Trump's newly-appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was captured on video balancing eating utensils on his fingertip while seated next to the President at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

In the clip, initially shared by @DaoKwonDo on X which has gone viral across multiple platforms, Musk appears completely absorbed in his silverware balancing act while Trump engages in conversation with other guests at the lavish Florida gathering on March 15.

The footage shows the tech mogul, 53, intently focused on the strange utensil trick and seemingly showing off his 'skills' to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who appears to be awkwardly observing. 

He is seated alongside Shivon Zilis, director of his Neuralink company and mother to four of his children - who seems unamused by her baby father's shenanigans. 

The videographer can be heard in the background saying: 'Elon, what the heck are you doing?' 

In another clip of the same moment, the video pans to reveal Trump seated to Musk's right while the billionaire continues his cutlery balancing trick.

Musk later clarified on X, formerly Twitter, that 'A fork and two spoons balanced on the tip of my finger.'

'I also did that kind of thing when I was 5,' one user replied to his post.

Social media users have been ruthless in their assessment of the bizarre behavior, with one Twitter user writing: 'I bet this hits so hard if you're seven.' 

Another user commented: 'The dude's so weird,' with many other echoing the sentiment. 

'He probably thinks this makes him look like an engineer,' one chimed in. 

Another commenter said: 'He's hoping someone will pay attention to him. 'Hey! That looks neat! Man, you're so cool!' It's so painfully transparent.'

'Me at 6 years old' another joked. 

According to reports, the seats allegedly went for a staggering $1 million contribution per guest.

This comes as Trump admitted that potential conflicts of interest prevent him from showing Musk the Pentagon's plans for a hypothetical war with China.

The president disputed claims by the 'fake news' that Musk was being allowed a glimpse at plans for a hypothetical battle ahead of the 'First Buddy' being invited to the Pentagon on Friday.

The head of the Department of Government Efficiency even suggested he was going to hunt down the 'leakers' who suggested he was getting a look at top secret plans. 

Trump held a press conference with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Friday where he was asked why Musk wouldn't just be shown such information. 

'Certainly, you wouldn't show it to a businessman who is helping us so much, paying a big price for helping us cut costs... but Elon has businesses in China and he would be susceptible to that.'

He ultimately said that Musk's visit was to do with finding potential 'waste, fraud and abuse' at the Pentagon.

Trump also suggested he wants as few people as possible to see plans for a war he doesn't want to ever happen. 

'I don't want to show it to anybody, you're talking about a potential war with China. I deal with these people all the time. I don't want anybody seeing potential war with China.'
