Elon Musk Asks Bourla if Bin Salman is a Terrorist - Video

Elon Musk reportedly asked Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla if he considers Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman a terrorist during a reception hosted by Donald Trump. According to the Daily Mail, a lip-reading expert said Musk posed the question while drinking champagne.

In the released video, Musk is seen asking Bourla: "What's your opinion? Is he a terrorist?" Bourla's reaction was an expression of embarrassment.

The reception took place at the White House, and guests included Cristiano Ronaldo, Donald Trump Jr., Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and business leaders such as Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Apple's Tim Cook.

Musk's question follows an intervention by Donald Trump when a journalist asked Mohammed bin Salman about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Trump called Khashoggi "highly controversial" and criticized the question.

The Biden administration in 2021 released a report concluding that Bin Salman approved the order to kill Khashoggi, which Saudi Arabia denies.
