WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk's unique utensil-balancing skills have taken the Internet by storm after a video surfaced showing him creating a bizarre utensil formation during a dinner with his baby mama, Shivon Zilis, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and President Donald Trump. 

Zilis, who recently had Musk's 14th child, Seldon Lycurgus, appeared less than amused by his antics. The pair also share twins, Strider and Azure, as well as another child, Arcadia.



 

Elon Musk's utensil trick fails to impress baby mama Shivon Zilis

In a video shared on X by @DaoKwonDo, Elon Musk, dressed in a blue and black outfit, showcases a bizarre creation made from eating utensils.



 

The 15-second clip, uploaded to the social media platform, features Musk holding a fork and two spoons balanced on his index finger during a formal dinner that included Zilis.  

The video also includes White House press secretary Leavitt, who seems impressed by the unusual utensil trick and engages in conversation with the couple.

However, while Leavitt appears fascinated, Zilis looks uninterested, even checking her phone instead of enjoying Musk's antics. The video quickly caught the attention of many online users, with numerous comments weighing in on the odd display.

The video surfaced amid Musk's recent legal dispute with former Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who allegedly insulted him during a CNN appearance, as per Irish Star. Musk has since announced plans to sue Bowman, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share that he intends to file a lawsuit following Bowman's remarks.

Internet weighs in on Shivon Zilis' lack of interest in Elon Musk's utensil trick

As the video of Elon Musk showing off his utensil trick at the dinner went viral, netizens weighed in with their thought on the trick as well as Shivon Zilis' apparent lack of interest. 

One wrote, "Richest man in the world AND he got better rizz than anyone else Can’t make ts up," and another said, "God they’re trying so hard to look impressed and they just want to escape."

"Maybe next he could take a spoon and balance it on the tip of his nose," a person quipped, whereas someone else quipped, "This is so unbelievably embarrassing."

"She’s literally leaning away from him," one more wrote about Zilis' reaction to Musk's utensil trick. 

"That smug face of his like he actually accomplished some crazy feat by balancing interlocked spoons and/or forks on his fingers and looking around for adulation is so pitiable. 🤭," read another comment. 

"If you think this is what women like then it explains why none spend any time with you," another person joked.
