The persistent connection between Musk and Trump, particularly following the 2024 election, has sparked public interest in the dynamics of their relationship and the extent of Musk's involvement or potential sway within Trump's inner circle.

Although Musk has not publicly addressed the rumors or the online speculation about his time at Mar-a-Lago, his close relationship with the former president is a topic of widespread conversation.

Elon Musk’s prolonged stay at Mar-a-Lago sparks jokes and speculation

The photograph ignited a wave of online reactions, with numerous commenters humorously questioning Elon Musk's prolonged stay at Trump's private residence, and some even jestingly dubbing him "co-president."

A user said, "He thinks he's co-President Only so long until Trump taps out and can't take it anymore. This relationship may not end well."



 

Another speculated, "I wonder if he’s gonna live with him at the White House too."



 

A third added, "Is Elon Musk the son Donald always wanted?"



 

"I guess he didn’t get the hint when trump said “he won’t leave”…" a comment read.



 

One mocked, "Almost like a marriage. And we know how Donald's marriages work out."



 

However, some users on platform X have suggested that Trump's apparent affinity for Musk may be primarily driven by the billionaire's wealth.

An X user wrote, "Poor needy oligarch doesn’t realize Donald only loves him for his money. 💰💰💰"



 

"Keeping an eye on his investment," a person asked.



 

Another commented, "I bet trump is sick of him by now."
