Donald Trump and Elon Musk made waves at UFC 309, held at Madison Square Garden, as they were spotted sipping PRIME hydration drinks cageside.
The president-elect, enjoying his evening alongside Musk, Joe Rogan, and UFC boss Dana White, chose the Ice Pop flavor of PRIME, a beverage co-founded by social media stars KSI and Logan Paul.
Trump’s PRIME moment came under scrutiny due to the drink's controversial past, including its previous ban in Norway and ongoing lawsuits over alleged toxic chemicals.
KSI quickly took to Musk's X platform, sharing clips of Trump and Musk enjoying PRIME.
Captioning his posts with "W Trump" and "W Elon," KSI ignited online debates. While fans celebrated the visibility for PRIME, others criticized KSI for leveraging political figures to promote his brand.

"Anything for a buck eh," one user remarked. Others defended the moment, arguing that celebrating product visibility doesn’t imply political endorsement.
Anything for a buck eh

The PRIME controversy adds to Trump’s dietary critiques. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recently nominated as Health Secretary, described Trump’s diet as “really, like, bad” on 'The Joe Polish Show,' calling the food on Trump’s private jet “poison.”
Ironically, both Trump and RFK Jr. shared a McDonald’s meal on Trump Force One days earlier, drawing similar public reactions.
Adding to the evening's star power, Trump interacted with WWE chief Triple H and received a heavyweight title belt from UFC champion Jon Jones. Jones, after knocking out Stipe Miocic in the main event, celebrated with a "Trump dance" and presented his belt to the president-elect, who raised it triumphantly amidst cheers.
The night showcased a collision of politics, sports, and entertainment, with Trump and Musk at the center of the buzz.
Their PRIME-drinking moment has sparked debates, further cementing UFC 309 as a landmark in pop culture.
