PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: The internet is abuzz following a post by Ron Filipkowski, a former federal and state prosecutor, who shared a compelling image of Elon Musk "still at Mar-a-Lago" weeks after Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election.

The photo, uploaded on X (previously known as Twitter), captures Elon Musk in formal wear, sporting a black suit, white shirt, and bow tie, radiating a sense of sophistication and assurance.

The accompanying caption read, “He’s still at Mar-a-Lago.”

Musk has been photographed at the opulent Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, a frequent venue for the president-elect's political events and gatherings.

The recent sighting is one of many over the past few weeks, with Musk frequently observed at the private club, sparking curiosity about his persistent visits to this exclusive venue.

In addition to his recent official engagement, Musk was observed in the same vicinity several times earlier in the month, engaging in golf with Trump's granddaughter Kai Trump, and dining at the Mar-a-Lago club.

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.

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.

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

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