Melania Trump has been among Donald Trump’s biggest supporters over the years and it’s fair to say she’s stood by him through a lot. Reports suggest that the future First Lady won’t live in the White House full-time, but if that is the case, it appears that Donald has a new best friend he can lean on.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk worked closely with Trump during the presidential campaign, with sources now claiming he’s pretty much worked his way into the family fold.
Melania Trump – will she live at the White House?
Sources have told CNN that Melania is expected to mainly live at Trump Tower in New York in order to remain close to her son, Barron Trump, who recently enrolled at New York University. According to the news outlet, she will also spend time at Mar-a-Laga in Palm Beach, Florida.
“She has carte blanche – she can be as active in the East Wing or as inactive as she cares to be,” Kate Bennett, author of Free, Melania, told CNN.
Melania Trump said she’s “not anxious” about White House return
Bennett added: “The missed opportunity of this period between her tenure in the White House has been the lack of a continuing platform or policy agenda that most first ladies build on.”
CNN has previously reported that discussions about Melania’s involvement in the Trump Administration are “ongoing.” Meanwhile, it’s pretty clear that the Slovenian-born former model is only slightly interested in engaging in any significant political causes. In October, Melania told Fox that a second term in the White House would be different.
Donald Trump’s “friendship” wth Elon Musk
Elon even appeared in a Trump family photo taken at Mar-a-Lago, and it’s clear for the world to see that there’s a definite close connection between he and the future POTUS. However, not everyone appears to be enthused about the Tesla founder constantly being at Mar-a-Lago.
A source told NBC that Musk has begun to wear on people close to Trump’s inner circle, particularly those who believe he is overstepping his role in the transition to the White House.
“Elon Musk and President Trump are great friends and brilliant leaders working together to Make America Great Again. Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader and our federal bureaucracy will certainly benefit from his ideas and efficiency.”
Melania Trump’s true feelings about Elon Musk
In another statement, Trump-Vance spokesperson Anna Kelly said: “Elon Musk is a genius, an innovator, and has literally made history by building creative, modern, and efficient systems. Elon Musk has dedicated himself to America’s future by offering to serve with President Trump to ensure our government works more efficiently and uses America’s taxpayer dollars effectively.”
Not much is known about Melania and Elon’s relationship. But speaking to PageSix, a source claimed they are getting along well.
“Melania likes Elon,” the source said, adding that she has “been around more.”
