  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    [Elon Musk](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/12/30/only-one-winner-battle-between-maga-silicon-valley/) has reportedly been living in a cottage on [Donald Trump](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/12/28/will-trump-turn-his-back-on-his-old-coalition-appease-musk/)’s [Mar-a-Lago ](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/inside-donald-trumps-lavish-mar-a-lago-estate/)estate and dropping in on dinners hosted by the president-elect.

    The Tesla billionaire has planted himself on Mr Trump’s doorstep by staying at a property several hundred feet away from the main house at the president-elect’s resort complex, [The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/us/politics/elon-musk-trump-mar-a-lago.html) reported.

    Mr Trump is said to have bragged to people that Mr Musk, the world’s richest man, is renting Banyan cottage – one of several smaller properties available for rent on the president-elect’s sprawling Palm Beach estate.

    It is unclear how much Mr Musk will pay for the cottage, which has previously hosted former House speaker John Boeher, but the property has reportedly been rented in the past for at least $2,000 a night.

  2. This seems like a really healthy relationship they got going on

  7. Doesn’t this guy have young children? This is really unhealthy.

  8. I thought they were an item? Surely they would have shacked up together by now?

  9. Weird, you’d think the president would get the main house

  10. Isn’t this from ‘Gilmore Girls’?

    I’m sure Rory stayed in her grandparents pool house for several episodes while she was trying to find herself or she was in between jobs or something. Is Leon planning a USO-inspired fundraiser now?

  14. Richest man in the world could go literally anywhere at the drop of a hat. Instead he’s living on some nazi shitbags couch.

  15. Adding to the creepiness: Trump has the whole cottage wired with hidden cameras.

  18. He’s just waiting to move to the White House in January

  19. Someone posted a good point in another post. Trump listens to whoever is literally right in front of him. Musk has to be right there or someone else could become the new pet.

  21. Is this really what Trump supporters want? I just can’t understand it.

  24. Elon looks like a man who hasn’t eaten a vegetable in 10 years

  25. you mean “president elect elmo is keeping a close eye on his orange sock puppet.”

  26. Richest man in the world is living like Kato Kaelin.

  28. Shouldn’t he be working in the office like he insists others do?

    He has 3 companies he is ignoring, along with 13 kids he’s ignoring.

    What a deadbeat loser.

  29. His companies are probably running better than ever without him around.

  30. A kindly reminder Musk is at this point doing FA at any of his companies and appears to mostly be tweeting and taking Trumps phone calls from foreign dignitaries.

  32. Wtf is going on? Why is the country like this now? 🤦

  33. Nice. Marie Antoinette had a little fantasy cottage called Petite Trianon at the end of Loius’s garden. She used to play dress up as a little peasant girl there. I wonder if Elon does the same whilst he waits for donald to visit.

  34. This used to be considered next level strange but Trump has normalized so much bizarre behavior. It’s still weird to me.

  35. Imagine having almost literally infinite money and resources and the ability to go anywhere on the earth at any given time… and you choose to hang out with Donald Trump.

  36. Imagine being the richest man ever and spending all your time with an orange piece of shit. Makes you wonder who the biggest piece of shit is.

  37. My ceo doesn’t have time to fuck around like this. It’s not a part time job. 

  42. So he is working remotely? Weird. I thought he was all for 5 days in office?

  43. Just putting this out there so that I feel vindicated later when it happens. Trump is going to run the country entirely from Mar a lago. Authoritarians often change the seat of government when they rule to somewhere that they control, so that they can remove checks by the other government officials and media by controlling who has access to them. In many cases, just physical access to the people in charge. The real government will be the oligarchs and brown nosers he let’s reside and have access to Mar a lago.

  44. What would you do if you won the lottery.

    Most people – buy a big house, the house of my dreams

    Where do you live?

    Richest man in the world- in a glorified hut in a rapists back garden.

  45. The absolute most comforting explanation I can find for myself here is that Trump has a secret deal With Elon that Elon will appointed him to some boards and give Trump many billions of dollars more once he leaves office in 4 years and that’s why this is all happening.

    The most comforting explanation I have is that the incoming President is just accepting a bribe lol

  46. So does that mean he has completely removed himself from his functions at his companies like Tesla and X by now? He was always so extreme on ‘working from the office’ during covid time and fired a whole legion of people because of it and now it seems like he hasn’t set foot in his own companies in weeks/months. Weirdo.

  47. Biden should have stopped the taxpayer subsidies to Elon’s companies. I’d rather pay for NASA to take cool telescope pictures. Instead of paying for Musk to pretend to go to Mars and never doing it.

  48. “Here’s your room sir, back in the day it was known as the “Vance suite”, rumour has it one of the eyeholes in the paintings used to be a glory hole”
