Elon Musk attended a private dinner at the White House alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, marking his first appearance in the same room as President Donald Trump since the Charlie Kirk memorial service. The event, hosted in honor of the Saudi leader, included tech executives Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook, as well as soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who was introduced to Trump’s son Barron.

President Trump addressed attendees in the East Room, highlighting the presence of global leaders, while Vice President JD Vance, second lady Usha Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller were among the administration officials present. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and first lady Melania Trump also attended the gathering.

The dinner represented a shift in the previously strained relationship between Trump and Musk, with no further details provided about the nature of their interactions. The event was described as a formal occasion, though the absence of a larger ballroom was noted as a potential oversight.
