A video featuring Elon Musk has gone viral. The clip shows Musk using silverware to create a model during a White House dinner. The event included former President Donald Trump, highlighting Musk's status as a prominent figure in the Trump administration. In the unverified video, Musk is seen focused on his task, building a structure with connected forks and knives. His girlfriend, Shivon Zilis, appears to be beside him. The video, shared by a pro-Musk account, gained over 2.8 million views and almost 4,000 likes in a single day. Musk's fans reacted positively to the video, praising his creativity. Comments on social media, including X, mentioned his engineering skills humorously. Some jokes suggested he was being a "boy genius." However, not everyone was amused. Critics used the video to underscore their dissatisfaction with Musk, especially regarding his influence and actions. Meanwhile, a commentator highlighted the contrast between the lighthearted moment and serious global issues, like the ongoing conflict involving Ukraine. Musk, for now, remains a key player in the Trump administration and continues his work in government efficiency.
