By Global Leaders Insights Team | Nov 19, 2025

Elon Musk attended a White House dinner hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday, marking a rare public appearance between Musk and Trump after months of tension.

The dinner brought together political, business and sports figures during the crown prince’s visit to Washington. Musk’s presence drew attention because the two have clashed this year over U.S. economic policy, federal subsidies and Musk’s hints at supporting alternative political movements. Their appearance in the same room suggests a possible easing in their strained relationship.

The crown prince is in the U.S. to strengthen ties with senior American officials and investors. His agenda includes discussions on energy, technology, defence and long-term investment opportunities. The White House dinner was one of the key events aligned with that visit.

  • Musk attends Trump’s White House dinner with Saudi Crown Prince MBS.
  • Rare joint appearance signals possible easing of Musk–Trump tensions.
  • High-profile event highlights Saudi push for tech and global partnerships.

Other attendees included NVIDIA, CEO Jensen Huang and football star Cristiano Ronaldo. Their participation highlights the crown prince’s push to link Saudi Arabia’s economic plans with global technology, sports and entertainment leaders.

For Musk, the dinner offered an opportunity to reconnect with major political and international figures at a time when his business decisions, social-media platform leadership and public comments have drawn scrutiny. For Trump, the presence of high-profile guests such as Musk provided added visibility to the meeting with the crown prince.
