NYT Report Describes Elon Musk As Trump's 'Tenant,' And Critics Have Thoughts
HuffPost
"Perfectly normal," one person said of the billionaire's reported accommodation arrangement.
Elon Musk has been staying in an expensive cottage at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, giving him “easy access” to the president-elect, The New York Times reported Monday.
“Elon Musk plays many roles with President-elect Donald J. Trump. He is Mr. Trump’s most important donor, most influential social media promoter and a key adviser on policy and personnel,” the Times began its report.
“For most of the time since Election Day, he has also been Mr. Trump’s tenant,” it added.
The cottage, named Banyan, has reportedly rented for at least $2,000 a night in the past, though it’s not clear what Musk’s arrangement is, or whether Trump will charge him at all. It’s a few hundred feet from the main house at the Florida estate, a source told the Times.
Around the club, Musk has become known to make requests such as meals outside normal kitchen hours, the Times reported. He stayed there until Christmas and is apparently expected to return within days.
