Trump and Musk bond over Thanksgiving at Mar‑a-Lago bash
Donald Trump has not yet assumed the presidency of the United States, but while waiting for the inauguration, he is finding time for some leisurely fun. A video has surfaced online showing the President-elect enjoying himself with Elon Musk. The politician and businessman met for Thanksgiving.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk met at the President-elect's famous residence in Florida. Mar-a-Lago is now widely discussed not only for political reasons but also for entertainment. It turns out that the billionaire's residence hosts grand festivities.
In the United States, Thanksgiving was celebrated on November 28. It is a holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of the month. It commemorates events from 1620-21 when a group of pilgrims arrived from Europe aboard the Mayflower. Many did not survive the harsh winter, but the following year brought a bountiful harvest. Therefore, along with the local Native Americans, they organized a feast to celebrate the abundant harvest. Over two hundred years later, Abraham Lincoln established a national holiday to commemorate those events.
It was Thanksgiving that brought many guests, including Elon Musk, to Trump's residence. A video from the party appeared online, showing the two billionaires enjoying themselves to the song "YMCA" by the Village People. Trump and Musk are not dancing, but it's clear they are having a great time and are in excellent spirits.
Trump and Musk: What connects them?
Elon Musk has long shown his support for Donald Trump. He actively supported him during the election campaign, donating millions of dollars to Trump's efforts. Musk also held a conversation with the then-presidential candidate.
Now, with Trump as the President-elect, their collaboration may deepen. The future host of the White House wants to support American big tech companies, which Elon Musk will certainly benefit from. The billionaire is hoping for favorable legal regulations in the U.S. for his business and is also counting on government subsidies. Trump himself announced that he envisions Musk in his administration in a new position related to "government efficiency."
