Melania Trump remains unbothered by Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago: 'Glad to have a babysitter for Donald'
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Melania Trump has willingly accommodated tech billionaire Elon Musk spending a significant amount of time with her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, at their Mar-a-Lago residence, People reported on Monday, January 6.
Trump has used his Palm Beach property as an unofficial MAGA headquarters to hold political events and meetings before and after the 2024 general election. Musk has been one of his biggest donors during his second successful presidential campaign and has since been named co-chair of the unofficial federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Days after the election on November 4, CNN host Kaitlan Collins reported Musk being present with Trump at Mar-a-Lago "nearly every single day." His activities have reportedly included sitting in on phone calls with world leaders, and "weighing in" on White House staffing decisions.
