Melania Trump remains unperturbed by the burgeoning friendship between her husband, Donald Trump, and tech magnate Elon Musk, who has become a regular at Mar-a-Lago post-election.
The Daily Mail reported that this relationship is expected to play a significant role in the impending administration, with Musk anticipated to spearhead the new Department of Government Efficiency, informally known as 'Doge.'
Melania Trump, the former First Lady, appears unconcerned about Musk's frequent presence at the Trump's Florida estate, according to insiders.
Since Donald Trump clinched a victory in the November election, Musk has been a recurring visitor, celebrating both Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve at the estate. For Melania, this close association is viewed as beneficial rather than bothersome.
While she largely steers clear of her husband's political endeavors, Melania finds the Musk friendship to be a "net positive" and might explore collaborating with him in the future.
An insider revealed that Melania remains largely detached from Trump's political engagements but does not object to Musk's involvement. She is adapting to various aspects of the political scene that are beyond her control.
"Melania will be happy to have a 'babysitter' for her husband, adding that she makes the best of things she can't control," shared the person familiar with the First Lady's perspective.
Despite her distance from political dealings, Melania is familiar with the multifaceted world surrounding a sitting president. Her prior experience as First Lady, during which she spearheaded the Be Best campaign to combat cyberbullying, gave her insights into the political dynamics that she now uses to navigate the current landscape.
Elon Musk, who has owned X, the platform formerly recognized as Twitter, since October 2022, has stirred conversations about his influences and intentions. Recently, he was rumored to have purchased a $100 million penthouse near Mar-a-Lago, a claim he has since debunked. Nevertheless, his influence on the forthcoming administration is set to expand.
As the Trump administration firms up its objectives and team, Musk is slated to provide strategic guidance through his leadership of 'Doge.'
This newly formed advisory body is expected to assist in curbing federal spending and downsizing government functions, marking a pivotal moment in Trump's tenure.
Vivek Ramaswamy will join Musk in these efforts. Despite its importance, 'Doge' is not a formal U.S. government department but rather an advisory entity whose initiatives are expected to make significant impacts on the administration's efficiency approaches.
Navigating a life intertwined with the complexities of the presidency, Melania remains unfazed by the symbiotic relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. While renowned personalities voice aspirations to gain the favor of the former president, Melania stays focused on her own pursuits.
"Melania has her own life and isn't bothered by political dealings her husband has with others. But so far, she has no issues with Musk," confirmed a source acquainted with her state of mind. For Melania, understanding the array of individuals seeking Trump's attention is key to maintaining equilibrium.
Mostly, Melania lets her husband take the spotlight, content with staying in the background of his political agenda.
An insider noted, "For the most part, she is not involved with subjects her husband is discussing with Musk or anyone else hanging around him. Right now, Trump has a lot of people wanting things from him. She is all too aware of that."
Speculation surrounds the possibility of future collaborations between Melania and Musk, though nothing concrete has been articulated. Melania's potential interest in teaming up with Musk hinges on the alignment of their objectives and aspirations within the political sphere.
