Former First Lady Melania Trump has expressed an unexpectedly welcoming attitude towards Elon Musk, as he continues to frequent the Trump estate in Palm Beach. Reports from India Times have indicated that Melania is largely unfazed by Musk's regular presence at Mar-a-Lago, where he is said to have been almost a daily visitor since the electoral transition.
Sources familiar with the situation report that Melania finds it beneficial for her husband, Donald Trump, to engage with Musk, especially following the billionaire's role as co-leader of the proposed Department of Government Efficiency. One source stated, “Melania is glad to have a babysitter for Donald, and she will find some kind of project to team up with him herself if he stays around” (India Times).
Further indicating her stance, insiders reveal that Melania maintains a distance from the political discussions occurring at their estate. “Melania has her own life and isn’t bothered by political dealings her husband has with others,” revealed a source, highlighting her approach to navigate the political intricacies surrounding him.
Despite Musk involving himself in golf, dining, diplomatic calls, and staffing discussions at Mar-a-Lago, Melania is portrayed as being in “good spirits,” focused on her pursuits while remaining detached from the political matters that consume her husband. She is reportedly aware of the various personal and political interests converging around the former President at this time.
Musk's social engagement with the Trumps, including celebrating New Year’s Eve with them, appears harmonious, with sources affirming that “Melania is glad to have her husband busy with his work” as Musk effectively forms part of that supportive backdrop.
