US presidential election: Elon Musk in Donald Trump's family photo, but not Melania

“Was Elon adopted?” “, asks an Internet user on family. His mother-in-law Melania does not appear there, unlike her loyal support, the billionaire Elon Musk.

Elon Musk invested heavily in Donald Trump's campaign, accompanying him to meetings to swing the “swing states” in his favor and devoting more than 100 million dollars to it. His support committee even organized a lottery offering a million dollars daily to registered voters in key states who agreed to sign a conservative petition in favor of freedom of expression and the right to bear arms.

Donald Trump paid it forward during his victory speech on Wednesday. “He’s great, we campaigned together. He sent a rocket last week, I saw it come back, it was sublime, the tower caught the rocket like a baby (in reference to the SpaceX rocket which caught up with the first stage of the rocket in mid-October in mechanical arms). Only Elon is capable of doing that, that’s why I love you Elon,” the president declared in front of his supporters.

The victory of his candidate allowed Elon Musk to rake in some $15 billion in the morning, thanks to the rise in shares of his company Tesla. It remains to be seen whether the leader will be rewarded for his loyalty with a position in the future government and, above all, whether the two men will manage to work together.

Missing from the photo, Melania Trump, although present alongside her husband on stage during his speech, was content with a message published on X. “We will preserve the heart of our republic: freedom. I hope that the citizens of our nation will recommit to each other and rise above ideology in the name of individual freedom, economic prosperity and security,” he said. -she writes.
