You are missing half the question.

According to Wikipedia (and other sources), the substance with the highest melting point is:

Tantalum hafnium carbide (Ta4HfC5) MP: 4488 K (4215 °C, 7619 °F).

It is possible that other higher temperature solids will be found, but one would not expect to find any solids with a melting point a full order of magnitude higher (40,000 °C).

On can alter the temperature & pressure and raise the melting point somewhat.

But at some point one would loose the essence of a solid and end up with a plasma.

The core of the sun is 13,600,000 °K (Wikipedia), and some estimates are as high as 15 or 16 million degrees K. It is believed that matter exists in the form of plasma at that temperature.
