Guests at a high-priced fundraiser for President Donald Trump were treated to dinner and a show from Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, who was caught on camera at an odd moment.

Videos originally posted by X user DaoKwonDo on March 21 — before they were widely shared on Musk’s social media platform — show the billionaire intensely focused as he stacks silverware on his finger at what was reported to be a $1 million-per-plate event.

Trump, seated next to Musk at the Mar-a-Lago gathering, is seen engaged in conversation and does not appear to be paying attention to the party trick.

At Musk’s left is Neuralink director Shivon Zilis, who has four children with the Tesla honcho. She can be seen swaying as Musk displays his creation.

Another clip from the same event showed Musk waving the cutlery collection around as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt watches.

Musk later replied to one of the clips himself, saying simply, “A fork and two spoons balanced on the tip of my finger.”

Reaction to the strange moment was mixed, with many applauding Musk for making his own fun, while others mocked him for what they saw as childish antics.

Musk has emerged as a polarizing figure in American politics since joining forces with Trump. Protests to his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts  have erupted across the country — prompting an FBI warning.

Last week, he vowed that a lawsuit is “inbound” after Democratic commentator Jamaal Bowman called him a “thief” and a “Nazi” live on CNN.
