Trump’s grandson posts photo with ‘uncle’ Elon

Donald Trump’s grandson Kai Trump posted a photo with billionaire Trump supporter Elon Musk on a Sunday outing and the caption: “Elon achieves uncle status.”

Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and the owner of X (formerly Twitter), has become close with the Trump family after helping the president-elect beat Vice President Kamala Harris in last Tuesday’s election through his pro-Trump political action committee , America PAC.

Kai, the 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, posted the TikTok clip with the caption “Sundays with Grandpa.”

There were three images in the TikTok video – the first with Kai and her grandfather; the second with Kai, her 10-year-old sister, Chloe Trump, and Grandpa Trump; and the third with Kai, Musk and Musk’s 4-year-old son, X Æ A-12.

Kai also posted the photo with Musk and his son on X Sunday and captioned it “Elon achieves uncle status.”

Musk, who has visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Florida, since the election, commented on Kai’s photo of X, writing: “Lil X is such a troll.”

While Kai and Musk were all smiles in the photo, little Musk was turning up his nose and putting a golf ball over his eye for a silly photo opportunity.

Meanwhile, Kai shared a post-election photo of the Trump family with Musk and his son last Wednesday with the caption, “The whole squad.”

Newsweek reached out via email to Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, for comment and to X for comment from Musk.

Musk’s ties to Trump

Musk endorsed Trump for president earlier this year, and his super PAC held several daily $1 million giveaways that went to registered voters in swing states.

Following his endorsement of Trump, Musk poured over $100 million of his own money into Trump’s campaign and made public appearances on Trump’s behalf in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. He also used his X account to share a stream of pro-Trump content with his 204.2 million followers.

Trump has publicly sung Musk’s praises for his campaign efforts. At Trump’s election night party in Florida, Musk was the guest of honor, speaking privately with Trump during the event and getting a shoutout in the president-elect’s address to supporters.

Since the election, there has been some speculation that Musk could land a spot in Trump’s administration. Trump has signaled at least some openness to the idea of ​​Musk spearheading cost-cutting efforts across the federal government.

“He’s dying to do this,” Trump said of Musk in an October interview with Fox News. “You know, he’s actually a great businessman… and he’s a great cost-saver… and he said, ‘I could cut costs without affecting anybody’.”
