Is Elon Musk an 'alien'? Tesla chief's 'balancing' stunt at Donald Trump's $1M dinner goes viral

Love him, or hate him, but you can't ignore him. Whatever Tesla and SpaceX Chief Elon Musk does makes for viral content - be it his White House outings with son X or his headline-grabbing posts on X. He's also frequently seen with US President Donald Trump both for official engagements as well as social gatherings.
In his latest viral video, Musk is spotted at Donald Trump's exclusive Mar-a-Lago candlelight dinner, where guests reportedly paid $1 million per seat. Seated alongside his partner Shivon Zilis, Musk showcased his concentration skills by balancing forks and spoons on one finger, while Zilis looked on.

The video posted on X captioned: "Proof that Elon is an alien," has quickly captured the internet's attention.
Interestingly, in a post many months back, Elon Musk had humorously responded to an X user when they questioned him about his sleep habits saying, "I’m a time-travelling vampire!" He jokingly said that he's a "time-travelling vampire alien" and added that his X profile had been verified since 3,000 BC.
Many followers soon joined in adding their own touch of humour suggesting that Musk's futuristic ideas and unconventional behavior make him seem like he’s “from the future”.


Netizens had a mixed reaction about Musk playing with the fork and spoons at the Trump's event. While some thought it's kiddish, others thought Musk was just being 'himself'.
"One of the things I love about him is that he’s always himself. He doesn’t "pretend," like most people do…" a user wrote. "I agree! it’s one of the things I admire about him," another one agreed.

Not everyone thought, it was cool though. One thought, the act to be 'embarrassing'.
"It’s embarrassing to be a grown man doing some childish shit at a dinner table Mfs literally playing with his utensils like a child but bootlickers wanna act like it’s some inspiration tactical move and call others low iq when this obviously isn’t high IQ behavior," a comment read.

"That's how he gets all the ladies," one observed.
Some X users were all praises for Musk's partner. "Shivon comes off as wholesome and zero drama. Love to see Elon spend time with her," the X post read. "Yeah, she’s intelligent and chill," another one agreed.

"I did this on a date once. She used the restroom and came back to be surprised by this. The rest of the night was awkward and she never spoke to me again. Difference of having $400 billion and not I guess," a user shared their dating experience.
