Melania Trump, the wife of US President-elect Donald Trump, likes businessman Elon Musk, The Independent writes, citing sources.
The publication’s interlocutor stated that the future first lady is a “great admirer” of the businessman and likes having him around. The source noted that Trump’s wife “started appearing in public more frequently” since Musk began actively speaking at rallies in support of the Republican.
On November 5, the businessman arrived at the president-elect’s residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida and, as The Independent points out, he has remained there since then. At the same time, according to the publication’s interlocutor, Trump himself “mocks” Musk by telling him that he “abused his hospitality.”
As The New York Times wrote, Musk and Trump have been collaborating since April, and the businessman spent more than $100 million on the Republican’s election campaign.
After winning the elections, the president-elect of the United States appointed Musk and the businessman Viveka Ramaswamy leaders of the new Department of Government Effectiveness, which will focus on “large-scale structural reform and the creation of a never-before-seen entrepreneurial approach to governance.”
CNBC noted that Musk’s near-constant presence alongside Trump began to irritate the Republican’s other allies. Channel sources with knowledge of the transition said the businessman was overreaching, “acting as if he were co-president,” “taking most of the credit for the president’s victory” and “trying to make Trump feel like he is in control.” . “I owe him.”
