Elon Musk and Jared Kushner were spotted together during the World Cup Final in Qatar on Sunday.
The new Twitter CEO and the former Trump White House advisor were spotted sitting next to each other at the 2022 World Cup Final in Lusail City, Qatar between France and Argentina. Argentina won the match on penalties kicks after a 3-3 draw. The match was the final match that Lionel Messi, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards of all time, will play representing Argentina, as well as his first World Cup win.

Musk live-tweeted during the match, regularly posting when either team scored a goal. Musk said on Twitter that the users were posting "24,000 tweets per second" when France scored its third goal. Which he claimed is "the highest" amount "ever for a World Cup."

Musk appeared to indirectly answer Dorsey's query in a reply to one user Sunday afternoon, Insider Business's Jordan Hart reported.
"You're free to speak, but you gotta pay to advertise. Sounds reasonable to me," the user wrote.
Musk replied: "Exactly."
The announcement follows the suspension of several journalists who cover Musk and the suspension of an account that tracked the location of his private jet.
