Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has become a topic of conversation for balancing a spoon on his finger at a dinner hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to the British Daily Mail on the 23rd (local time), a bizarre video of Elon Musk balancing utensils on the tip of his finger during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago hosted by President Trump on the 15th was released.
In the video, he is seen focusing on balancing the utensils while President Trump speaks with other attendees. The awkward expression of White House Spokesperson Carolyn Rabbit watching him is also captured. Trump is reported to have shown little interest in Musk's actions.
Musk explained the situation at the time on his X account, stating he was 'balancing a fork and two spoons on his fingertips.'
Netizens reacted negatively, saying things like 'A game I played when I was 5' and 'Elon Musk sometimes acts like a strange kid.'
Musk's bizarre behavior is not a one-time occurrence. According to some media, he regularly takes ketamine, a tranquilizer and powerful anesthetic, to alleviate symptoms of depression. Ketamine is an analgesic dissociative anesthetic that can be abused as a mood-altering drug due to its hallucinogenic effects.
