Donald Trump and Elon Musk met at the President-elect's famous residence in Florida. Mar-a-Lago is now a topic of discussion 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 28th November. It is a moveable holiday, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of the month. It commemorates events from the years 1620-21. A group of pilgrims arrived from Europe aboard the ship Mayflower. Many of them did not survive the harsh winter, but the following year brought a very large harvest. Therefore, along with the local Native Americans, they organised a feast to jointly celebrate the exceptionally abundant harvests. Over two hundred years later, Abraham Lincoln decided to establish a national holiday to commemorate those events.
It was Thanksgiving that was the reason many guests, including Elon Musk, gathered at 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 campaign efforts. Musk also conducted discussions with the then-presidential candidate.
Now, with Trump as the President-elect, the 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 hopes for favourable legal regulations for his business in the USA. He is also counting on government subsidies. Trump himself announced that he sees Musk in his administration in a new position concerning "government efficiency."
