Donald Trump may need to consider building Elon Musk a suite at Mar-a-Lago, as the billionaire entrepreneur seems to have taken quite a liking to the club. During his speech at the America First Policy Institute Gala in Florida, Trump praised Musk, his new co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, as a high-IQ individual who prioritizes the nation’s interests over his own.
Trump also mentioned how Musk supported him on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania instead of focusing on his SpaceX rockets. The crowd gave Musk a warm round of applause, with Trump joking that Musk enjoys Mar-a-Lago so much that he may never want to leave, a sentiment that Trump wholeheartedly welcomes.
In a light-hearted moment, Trump mentioned that he and Musk couldn’t quite pinpoint what Musk does best because he excels in so many different areas. Trump also appointed Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the newly announced DOGE, a government wing aimed at cutting through bureaucratic red tape and reducing redundancy. The specifics of this new department remain unknown, leaving people curious about its potential impact.
Musk has quickly become a trusted ally of Trump, even reportedly meeting with Iran’s United Nations Ambassador. Trump clearly views Musk as a like-minded individual, suggesting that reserving a wing for the Tesla CEO at Mar-a-Lago might be a wise decision.
Overall, the bond between Trump and Musk seems strong, with their collaboration poised to bring about innovative changes in government efficiency. It will be interesting to see how their partnership unfolds and the impact it has on various sectors.
