In a Thanksgiving dinner that’s making headlines, President-elect Donald Trump hosted Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago, further fueling speculation about their increasingly close relationship. The holiday gathering featured Trump family members, including Melania and Barron Trump, and an assortment of high-profile guests, including Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone.
Elon Musk, sporting his signature “X” t-shirt, shared the head table with the Trump family, enjoying what sources described as a lively and convivial evening. The event showcased Trump’s signature mix of opulence and informality, complete with rally anthems like “Y-M-C-A” playing in the background.
Trump, ever the showman, joked about Musk’s frequent appearances at Mar-a-Lago, quipping that he might need to build the tech mogul his own room at the club. Musk, in turn, engaged in animated discussions with Trump and other guests about topics ranging from government efficiency to pop culture.
Musk’s recent appointment as co-leader of the newly formed “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) has already sparked debate. Critics have questioned the ethics of Musk’s dual roles as a private tech titan and a key figure in the incoming Trump administration. Despite these concerns, the Thanksgiving dinner seemed to underscore a budding alliance between the two influential figures.
While the specifics of Musk’s role in DOGE remain unclear, his presence at such a high-profile family event suggests a deepening personal and professional connection with the Trump family.
The evening wasn’t all politics. Musk and Sylvester Stallone shared a moment of levity, reminiscing about Demolition Man and its eerily accurate predictions about modern society. Guests described the dinner as a blend of camaraderie and spectacle, with Trump playing the genial host.
Musk’s interactions with Trump’s son, Barron, also drew attention, with the pair reportedly discussing technology and video games over dessert. Melania Trump, as always, brought her signature poise to the event, mingling with guests and ensuring the evening ran smoothly.
This Thanksgiving dinner is yet another indication of Musk’s growing influence in Trump’s orbit. As the President-elect prepares to take office, Musk’s role in shaping policies related to technology, energy, and government operations could be significant. Supporters see this partnership as a sign of innovative thinking, while critics worry about potential conflicts of interest and the blending of business with politics.
The dinner at Mar-a-Lago wasn’t just a holiday celebration—it was a statement. With Musk at the table, Trump’s administration signals a focus on tech-driven governance, albeit with a touch of Trumpian flair.
