Elon living on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in $2k-a-night cottage so he can spend HOURS with Don daily despite MAGA rift
Share:
TECH tycoon Elon Musk is reportedly living in a luxury cottage on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate so he can be near to the President-elect at all times. The pair forged a close alliance throughout Trump's campaign - with Musk now apparently sleeping just a few hundred feet away from the main house.

Living on the grounds of Trump's impressive Florida bolthole has given Tesla founder Musk easy access to the MAGA man, sources told The New York Times. And despite the $2,000 per night price tag, Musk may not be paying Trump anything at all for the luxurious rental.

Despite reports of a rift in the new MAGA camp - the pair appear to be closer than ever. Musk can drop in spontaneously at important dinners - including a recent one Trump had with Musk's Silicon Valley rival - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. He is living in the Banyan cottage, party of a building Trump converted into a members-only club on the vast estate in the 1990s.

After spending more than a quarter of a billion dollars bankrolling Trump's efforts to secure the White House, Musk has been rewarded with a ticket into the most exclusive of meetings. He has reportedly sat in on meetings with Trump's staff in the Mar-a-Lago Teahouse, as well as phone calls with foreign leaders.

The pair have spent hours together in Trump's own office. Even Musk's own employees have been brought in the assist with the transition, vetting candidates for senior roles in the upcoming Republican administration. They've carried out interviews at the Trump transition headquarters in West Palm Beach.
