Trump Hangs out at UFC, Musk MIA Amid Fallout
US Leader makes unmasked appearance at a wrestling event - U.S. President attends unconventional boxing event in absence of tech mogul Musk.
Rise and Rumble!
In a surprising turn of events, Donald Trump (78), our 45th President, made a recent appearance at the Mixed Martial Arts spectacle known as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in Newark, New Jersey. Buddy-of-yore Elon Musk (53), however, went missing in action.
Trump's Cage-side Charisma
Trump basked in the adulation of cheering fans, just like a fierce cage fighter himself, as demonstrated in a video on his Instagram account. He strutted into the arena with music blaring, joined by Dana White (55), UFC's fearless CEO and a steadfast supporter of Trump. The event also saw Trump's daughter Ivanka (43) and son Eric (41), who were proudly snapped with their old man.
April's UFC event in Miami had seen Trump, Musk, and Musk's son X Æ A-Xii (5) courtside together, according to photos that circulated.
Musk's parenting style has been under scrutiny recently too. In late May, Musk appeared at a press event with a shiner, telling journalists that his son had taken a swing at him during play. "I was horsing around with Little X and said, 'Come on, hit me,' and he actually did," Musk shared with People magazine, though he wasn't too fazed by the punch.
