Ever played with spoons and forks just for fun? You’re not alone! However, while most of us struggle to balance everyday cutlery, Elon Musk seems to have mastered the art. In a viral video, the billionaire entrepreneur was seen effortlessly balancing a fork and two spoons on the tip of his finger—leaving social media users in awe.
Elon Musk’s Playful Moment at Mar-a-Lago
The moment took place during an exclusive dinner at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on March 15, 2025. While seated at the table near Trump, Musk found an unconventional way to pass the time before the food was served. Rather than engaging in conversation or checking his phone, he opted for a unique balancing act with cutlery.
Fellow diners appeared indifferent to Musk’s impromptu performance, either failing to notice or choosing not to react. However, once the video made its way online, it quickly captured the internet’s attention.

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… pic.twitter.com/EGzh1WOPRN
