On several occasions, Donald Trump did not hesitate to tap the rich American entrepreneur on the shoulder.
Scenes capturing the two American billionaires side by side have multiplied in recent weeks. We also note a greater proximity between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, than between the president-elect and his vice-president, JD Vance.
We know that Mr. Musk will play an important role in the Trump administration. He was appointed, in tandem with Vivek Ramaswamy, to head the new ministry of “government efficiency”, which will work to reduce the role of the state by massively dismissing, among other things, civil servants.
But according to some leaked comments, the presence of the richest man in the world would irritate several people in the president-elect’s entourage.
Still in the countryside?
Trump, however, has not stopped being active on his social networks, despite his total victory in the presidential election on November 5.
He first posted a photo saying he intended to “Make Thanksgiving Great Again.”
It is nevertheless a video which takes a cult scene from the Christmas classic The tree has balls (Christmas Vacation), where the characters’ faces were swapped with political adversaries of Mr. Trump, who has drawn much attention to his X account.
And when the character replaced by Joe Biden cuts the turkey, the president-elect extricates himself from the carcass of the poultry while dancing to the song YMCA from the Village People group.
All as if he was still on the campaign trail against the Democrats.
