Donald Trump and his new friend Elon Musk were spotted sipping on a Prime hydration drink while sitting cageside at UFC 309 on Saturday night.

All eyes are on the president-elect, 78, after his resounding victory in the US election earlier this month, with the Republican candidate beating Democratic rival Kamala Harris to win a second term in the White House.

He is a known fan of sports, particularly fighting, and left his Mar-a-Lago base for New York this weekend to enjoy the UFC’s latest show at Madison Square Garden.

While sitting in the front row alongside Musk, fans quickly spotted Trump drinking free Prime Hydration, the viral drink that was previously banned in Norway.

The brand, which is owned by social media stars KSI And Logan Paulhad a controversial existence for two years, but now sponsors many high-profile sporting events and can be found on supermarket shelves around the world.

When the “Hydration” product was launched, it was initially banned in Norway due to vitamin A levels above national regulations, according to TV2.

In July last year, a new European variant of the drink was launched, respecting health regulations, allowing it to return to shelves.

Prime Hydration is also facing a lawsuit in California, where a chemical analysis conducted in August 2023 claimed to have revealed toxic “permanent chemicals” three times the limit of what a human being should consume at course of his life.

Prime vehemently denied this, co-creator Logan Paul took to TikTok to tell fans: “First of all, anyone can sue anyone at any time, which doesn’t make the true trial. And in this case, that’s not the case.

“PFOS, or forever chemicals, comes from plastic. So in this case they are not talking about the drink itself, the liquid itself – Prime – but about the bottle in which Prime is made.

“This is not a ridiculous little operation, we use the best bottle makers in the United States.”

In September of this year, a federal judge refused to end the class-action lawsuit that claims Prime’s grape flavor is “toxic,” allowing the case to continue after independent testing “showed dangerous levels of carcinogenic toxins in different bottles.”

The judge rejected many elements of the suit, agreeing with Prime that reasonable customers would not be misled by claims that the drink’s grape variation “helps refresh, replenish and replenish,” and is “a perfect boost for every effort” because the statements are “too vague and general.”

On Saturday evening, KSI took to X to share the video of Trump drinking his product, captioning it simply: “W Trump.”

Musk, meanwhile, was spotted drinking the lemon-lime flavor, to which KSI responded, “W Elon.”

Prime is the official hydration partner of the UFC and was featured on branding around the cage at Madison Square Garden.

Trump was seen reaching for the Prime Hydration Ice Pop flavor, which is one of the brand’s most popular lines. He took a sip while chatting with Musk.

The president-elect’s drinking habits attracted attention after Robert F Kennedy Jr, the new health secretary, revealed just days ago that Trump never drinks water and that he Is on a fast food diet that is like “poison”.

After abandoning his own presidential ambitions to support Trump, Kennedy Jr said on the Joe Polish show: “The things he eats are really bad,” he said.

“Country food is always bad, but the food that comes on this plane is, like, nothing but poison. You have a choice between – you don’t have a choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. It’s like when you get lucky, and then the rest of the things I consider inedible.

He added: “I was with Dana White the other day. He is very close to Trump, they have had a relationship for 20 years through the UFC.

“He said sometimes he would attend a fight with Trump – and he was (there for) five hours (during) the fight, and said he never saw Trump drink a glass of water. ” Never.’

KSI took to social media – Musk’s X – to share his thoughts on videos shared online.

Trump was in good spirits inside the Garden for the event. As the Village People YMCA blasted the PA system inside the arena, Trump took it upon himself to dance and was seen hitting the chorus in what was just the start of events which took place.

The dance, for which he became famous, lasted only a few seconds, as spectators laughed and clapped in approval of the moves.

He was then interrupted by another famous face of the fighting game, WWE chief Triple H, who was also present at the event and approached the president-elect.

Triple H has been at the helm of WWE since the departure of Vince McMahon and went through a merger with the UFC under umbrella company TKO, which took place in September last year.

He approached Trump and shook his hand, before the two “touched” – touched shoulders – and struck up a conversation.

It then turned into a three-way conversation with Rogan, the podcast host who arguably helped the president-elect return to the White House. Rogan threw his support behind the Republican nominee earlier this month following two popular podcast interviews with Elon Musk and Trump.

But it wasn’t all because of Trump’s involvement with the stars. When Jones won the main event by knocking out Stipe Miocic, he singled out Trump in his celebrations.

Jones, whose future is unclear at the end of the fight although the veteran is the heavyweight champion, celebrated with “the Trump dance” – recreating the boogie that has been associated with Trump.

Trump spoke to several fighters at the event, including Jon Jones, who won the main event.

He pointed at the president-elect and gave a thumbs-up in his direction as Trump clapped and nodded in approval.

After leaving the cage, Jones walked over to where Trump was sitting and handed him his heavyweight belt.

Jones then clapped, with Musk also raising his fists in the air and applauding Jones’ performance.

Trump then did his best to raise the belt, before shaking hands with Jones, who bowed in the direction of his new president-elect, the pair exchanging a few words.
