Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a seat at the family table for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago, joining President-elect Donald Trump, Melania Trump and their 18-year-old son Barron, in the latest indicator of Trump’s growing bond with the world’s richest man. Musk was seated right next to Trump in a video posted by Michael Solakiewicz, which shows the pair enjoying a campaign rally classic, “Y-M-C-A.” Trump slapped his hand on the table and gave Musk’s shoulder a friendly pat, and Musk pumped both fists in the air. Musk, who owns the social media platform X, wore a black blazer and a t-shirt with an “X” emblazoned on it. Trump smiled, turning to Barron and Melania, as other dinner guests stood around taking photos and clapping along. Musk reposted another TikTok of him at the Thanksgiving celebration chatting with Trump ally Sylvester Stallone, as the President-elect greeted people at a table nearby. “I was telling @TheSlyStallone that I just watched Demolition Man again and how well it predicted the crazy woke future 30 years ago!,” Musk posted on X. In the incoming Trump administration, Musk has been selected to run the newly created “Department of Energy Efficiency,” or DOGE, along with former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. The choice in particular of Musk — who leads companies with existing, lucrative government contracts — raised immediate questions about potential conflicts of interest.
