Speaking about the Trump family, Maye called them "kind" and stated that she would like to spend more time with Melania Trump, the incoming first lady.

"Everyone is delightful, kind, sweet, generous, interesting and soft-spoken, which is interesting because, as politicians, you can talk loud," she remarked. "And I've met Melania. I'm looking forward to spending more time with her, too."

Her disclosures follow rumors that Elon is preparing to purchase real estate close to Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and has made a record-breaking offer of $100 million for a large penthouse.
