Revealed: What Melania Trump really thinks about Donald’s ‘bromance’ with Elon Musk
Sources close to Melania Trump have revealed what the soon-to-be First Lady really thinks about her husband’s ‘bromance’ with billionaire Elon Musk.
Melania is reportedly unbothered by the increasing amount of time Musk has spent at her Mar-A-Lago home in West Palm Beach since the November election.
It’s understood she views Trump’s relationship with the tech billionaire as a “net positive” and one insider expects the new First Lady will find her own ways to work with the Tesla owner.
Speak with People a Palm Beach source even went so far as to claim that Melania would love to have a “babysitter” for her husband, adding that she makes the best of things she has no control over.
The source said: ‘Melania has her own life and is not bothered by the political dealings her husband has with others. But so far she has no problems with Musk.”
Another source added that the 54-year-old tends to stay out of her husband’s political involvement.
This is despite the fact that their Mar-a-Lago estate became a base for prominent Republican politicians during and after the campaign – with Trump hosting several rallies there.
A source said: “For the most part, she doesn’t touch on topics her husband discusses with Musk or anyone else around him. Right now, Trump has a lot of people who want things from him. She knows that all too well.’

It’s also claimed that Melania will likely look for her own ways to work with Musk on issues, with their own relationship described as “smooth so far.”
During her previous term as First Lady, Melania led the Be Best campaign, which advocated for action to protect young Americans from cyberbullying.
As of October 2022, Musk owns X, formerly Twitter, one of the world’s leading social media sites, meaning Musk could provide expertise in monitoring behavior online.
Since Trump’s landslide victory on November 5, Musk has become a near-ubiquitous figure at Mar-a-Lago and the Space X owner even spent Thanksgiving at the estate.
In December, Musk was rumored to be eyeing a $100 million penthouse just a seven-minute drive from Trump’s home.
This is a rumor that Musk has since denied.

Musk is expected to play a key role in Trump’s next administration.
He will head the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, or ‘Doge’ for short, alongside former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Although it has “department” in the name, it is not an official U.S. government department.
Instead, Doge will advise the Trump White House on how to reduce costs to shrink the size of government.
