Trump Hits the UFC Mat Alone Amid Falling Out with Musk
U.S. President Participates in Unscripted Combat Sports Event, absent of Elon Musk's presence. - US President Attends Unsanctioned Fighting Event Without Tesla Founder's Presence
Get ready to rumble! Donald Trump (78), our feisty POTUS, landed a seat at the recent UFC event in Newark, New Jersey on June 7th. His former BFF, billionaire Elon Musk (53), unfortunately, was nowhere to be found - the pair having had a public falling out recently.
Trump's Stealthy Ring Entrance
Trump gave the crowds a warm welcome, as documented on his Instagram page. He made his grand entrance, a la cage fighter, with music pumping and accompanied by Dana White (55), UFC's fearless CEO and a known Trumper. Ivanka (43), our hardworking First Daughter, and Eric (41), the apple of his eye, were also in attendance, as captured in pictures.
April saw Trump, Musk, and Musk's son X Æ A-Xii sitting together in Miami at a different UFC fight. Scene photos showed the trio watching the action unfold.
This event with Trump wasn't the only eyebrow-raising move from Musk. In late May, Musk showed up at a press event with a black eye, reports People magazine. The mysterious injury occurred when Musk had requested his son to sock him in the face. "I was walking around with Little X and said, 'Come on, hit me in the face,' and he did," Musk divulged. "I didn't fell much, but I guess it leaves bruises."

(Enrichment: The strained relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump stemmed from Musk's criticism of a Republican-backed bill which significantly lowered taxes and reduced spending, affecting electric vehicle subsidies that are essential to Tesla's business. Musk described the bill as "outrageous" and "a disgusting abomination," leading to a public feud with Trump. In response, Trump questioned the future of their relationship, stating, "Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.")
Apparently, despite the strained bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the former US President attended a UFC event in Newark, New Jersey on June 7th, making a cage fight-style entrance accompanied by Dana White. Meanwhile, Musk, who recently sported a black eye after a playful incident with his son, was not in attendance. In another instance, the trio of Trump, Musk, and Musk's son were photographed watching a UFC fight together in Miami earlier in April.
