Donald Trump and Elon Musk were inseparable during the Thanksgiving celebration. The new president-elect of the United States and the world’s richest man came together for the festivities, held Thursday night at Mar-a-Lago where they were surrounded by friends, family, celebrities, and allies of the Republican Party.
The enthusiasm was evident in the couple, who have been in the media spotlight due to their closeness, a relationship so close that supposedly, between the two of them, they have decided on the appointment of the new US government cabinet, even though there is a good transition team that should be handling the matter.
According to a report by the New York Post, both were applauding, laughing, and joking while seated next to each other at the table. Images circulating on social media show that the new President of the United States had his youngest son Barron, 18, on his left side. To his right, instead of his wife Melania, was Elon Musk, with whom he spent a large part of the evening. Melania was seen being downgraded to being separated from her husband by Barron's seat, however, she was laughing joyfully amidst the Thanksgiving celebration.
The aforementioned media outlet says that Trump playfully patted Musk's back, who then raised his hands in celebration in front of everyone. Both were singing and celebrating at an event, hosted by several presenters, including Sylvester Stallone.
Among the attendees were also Donald Trump's children, Eric and Tiffany, as well as his daughter-in-law Lara and his grandchildren from Eric.
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our country, but who have failed miserably, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so irreparably bad that the great people of our Nation have just given a resounding victory… Do not worry, our country will soon be respected, productive, fair and strong, and will be, more than ever, proud to be American!,” Donald Trump wrote in an earlier message through his social media.
The close relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk
The Thanksgiving dinner confirmed the close relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They are so close that next to the new president, his wife was not present, but rather the magnate of X and Tesla, who was one of his biggest financial allies during his presidential campaign, having invested an average of 119 million dollars.
Musk has been so close to Trump that they are said to rarely separate, and that they are the ones deciding on the figures for the new presidential cabinet. The alliance between them is so strong that supposedly, it is already bothering Trump's inner circle, mainly because they consider that the magnate is taking on responsibilities that are not his and acting like a "co-president."
