Tiffany Trump's family photo on dad's win raises eyebrows as it features Elon Musk but Melania is missing

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump, and granddaughter Kai Trump recently shared a family photo celebrating his victory in the 2024 presidential race on social media.

Apart from several Trump family members, the image also features Elon Musk, sparking speculations about the billionaire's close ties to the president-elect. However, his wife Melania Trump’s noticeable absence from the family photo has raised eyebrows. 

As Trump is set to become the 47th president of the United States, his 31-year-old daughter Tiffany expressed her joy and appreciation for her father.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Tiffany expressed her pride, writing, "Dad, we are so proud of you!"

After Trump's resounding win in the presidential election, his granddaughter Kai also shared the happy family photo on X with the caption, "The whole squad."

Eagle-eyed Internet users were quick to notice that the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO was in the "family picture," while Melania was absent, which led many to question the former fashion model's whereabouts.

Elon Musk appears in Donald Trump's family photo

After Donald Trump won the presidency, his daughter Tiffany and granddaughter Kai shared a happy family photo that went viral—not because of who was absent, but because of Elon Musk's presence in it.

Holding his son X Æ A-12, the billionaire CEO stood on the periphery of the Trump family circle in a placement that appeared both meaningful and understated.

Kai wrote, "The whole squad," as the caption for the picture, leading to rumors that Musk, who became Trump's staunchest supporter throughout the election campaign, is now reportedly almost family to the president-elect.

Musk, one of Trump's biggest backers, might potentially benefit from his return to the White House. The wealthiest man in the world joined Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on election night as results were being tallied, reported BBC.

As it became more certain that Trump would win, Musk declared on the social networking site X, "The people of America gave @realDonaldTrump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight."

He was spotted interacting with visitors, sometimes holding his four-year-old con on his shoulders, when he wasn't tweeting about the outcome.

Trump also praised Musk and recalled the successful landing of a rocket made by Space X, one of Musk's companies, during his victory address at the Palm Beach Convention Center.

The tech mogul, one of the president-elect's most significant supporters, contributed over $119 million (£92 million) to a Super PAC that aimed to reelect Trump.

Additionally, he organized a get-out-the-vote campaign in the crucial states in the last weeks before the election, which involved distributing $1 million to voters every day.

Along with retweeting Kai's post, the tech tycoon shared a picture of himself with Trump and his young son with the remark, "Novus Ordo Seclorum," which is Latin for "a new order of the ages."

Melania Trump absent from family photo despite joining Donald Trump on Election Day

Wearing sunglasses, Melania Trump accompanied her husband to the polls on Election Day. She also appeared with him, beaming, at his victory address on Tuesday night, November 5, in Palm Beach, Florida.

However, the former fashion model chose not to appear in the viral family picture alongside the rest of the Trump family members. 

Melania took to X on Wednesday night and reflected on the couple's return to the White House, shortly after her husband secured enough votes for a second term.

She wrote in part, "The majority of Americans have entrusted us with this important responsibility. We will safeguard the heart of our republic – freedom... American energy, skill, and initiative will bring together our best minds to propel our nation forward forevermore." 

Trump's reelection campaign was marred by the "Where's Melania?" query. At one point, Melania's prolonged absence from the campaign trail led to the creation of a "Where's Melania?" aircraft banner and "missing" posters, according to The Independent.

She recently attended the former president's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City in October, one of her many prominent appearances. She also gave a speech in July at the Republican National Convention.

Netizens say Donald Trump 'pretty much adopted Elon' Musk while Melania goes MIA

The absence of Melania Trump from the family photo did not go unnoticed by eagle-eyed social media users, with many questioning Elon Musk's apparent close bond with the president-elect.

One such X user remarked, "The best thing about this Trump family picture is that they pretty much adopted Elon."

Another user added, "It sucks Melania wasn’t in the photo. It’s a beautiful family picture."

"Elon Trump? I think the addition of Elon and RFKjr played a role in this victory and it is hard to say if Rogan's last-minute endorsement had any effect but it sure didn't hurt," one person assumed.

Others enquired about Melania's whereabouts, with one user writing under Tiffany's family photo, "Where’s Melania?"

Another added, "Missing: Melania and Jr's Gargoyle are missing. Trump wife musical chairs continues."

One individual asked, "Where b First Lady?" while another questioned, "Where our 1st lady??"

One person said, "Lol Melania not even bothering to get in these pics anymore."
