Inside Mar‑a-Lago: Trump and Musk's Thanksgiving Connection

Donald Trump and Elon Musk met at the President-elect's renowned residence in Florida. Mar-a-Lago has become a hot topic not only for political reasons but also for entertainment. The billionaire's residence hosts extravagant celebrations.

In the United States, Thanksgiving was celebrated on November 28. It is a movable holiday, observed on the fourth Thursday of the month. It commemorates events from 1620-21. A group of pilgrims arrived from Europe aboard the Mayflower. Many did not survive the harsh winter, but the following year brought a very large harvest. They organized a feast with the local Indigenous people to celebrate the abundant harvests. Over two hundred years later, Abraham Lincoln established the holiday as a national day of remembrance for those events.

Many guests, including Elon Musk, gathered at Trump's residence for Thanksgiving. A video from the event appeared online, showing the two billionaires enjoying themselves to the song "YMCA" by the Village People. Trump and Musk are not dancing, but their good spirits are evident.

Elon Musk has long supported Donald Trump. He actively supported him during the election campaign, donating millions of dollars to Trump's efforts and having a conversation with the then-presidential candidate.

Now, with Trump as the President-elect, their collaboration may deepen. The future host of the White House wants to support American big tech, something from which Elon Musk could certainly benefit. The billionaire wants American legal regulations to favour his business and is counting on government subsidies. Trump himself announced that he sees Musk in his administration in a new role related to "government efficiency."
