Maye Musk sheds light on son Elon's close ties to Donald, Barron Trump
One of the most unexpected yet fascinating developments to come out of President-elect Donald Trump's 2024 campaign is his seemingly very close new friendship with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.
However, according to some sources, including Musk's own mother, the Tesla mogul may have an even stronger bond growing with a different Trump altogether, namely, former and future first son, Barron, as the Economic Times reports.
Turkey day bonding
Maye Musk recently made an appearance on Fox Business, during which she described her Thanksgiving holiday at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
According to the mother of the famous tech giant, Elon Musk and Barron Trump enjoyed deep conversation over dinner on topics of shared interest.
Among the subjects on which they touched were those of space exploration, colonization of Mars, and related themes.
Barron Trump, Maye Musk noted, possesses an impressive degree of intelligence for his young age and a notable ability to engage thoughtfully in discussion.
In addition to expressing her personal admiration for Donald Trump's youngest son, Maye Musk noted that the entire Trump family is full of kind, friendly, and interesting individuals, adding that she is eager to grow her acquaintance with Melania Trump as well.
Newly-minted BFFs
Even in light of Elon Musk's active -- and financially generous -- role in Donald Trump's presidential campaign, few would have predicted the close nature of the pair's new bond.
Since November, Musk has spent significant amounts of time at Mar-a-Lago, has joined the president at a UFC bout, the Army-Navy football game, and accompanied him on host of other public appearances.
Noting her son's affinity for Trump, Maye Musk said that she has observed them together in person and noted, “they just seem to be having fun. A lot of fun.”
“And its nice or both of them to have fun, and [Elon] really respects him a lot and is really happy that there's a future for America now,” the proud mother went on.
Maye Musk noted that her son, to whom she referred as “the genius of the world,” is especially enthusiastic about joining forces with Vivek Ramaswamy to head the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as part of Trump's upcoming term.
Family affair
In addition to his obvious rapport with both Donald and Barron Trump, Musk has also forged a bond with Kai Trump, the teen daughter of Donald Trump, Jr., who joined friends and family in Texas earlier this fall to watch a SpaceX launch.
After having gotten to know Musk during his extended post-election stay at Mar-a-Lago, the young granddaughter of the president-elect affectionately dubbed the family's new insider “Uncle Elon,” seemingly cementing the bond that seems to grow stronger by the day.
