Summary

Melania Trump reportedly welcomes Elon Musk’s close relationship with Donald Trump, even jokingly referring to him as a “babysitter” for her husband.

Sources told People magazine that Melania is content with Musk’s frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago, where he’s renting a cottage, and appreciates him keeping Trump occupied.

Musk, a vocal supporter of Trump’s 2024 campaign, is seen as a positive influence by Melania.

However, Trump himself has occasionally expressed mild frustration with Musk’s constant presence.

    All I care is if these wild rumors make their way back to Trump’s feed.

    And into his head.

    I very much enjoyed the Lincoln Project’s “audience of one” strategy, and like to think outlets are writing stuff with that in mind.

    HE IS RENTING A COTTAGE?

    Oh my God this isn’t even satire.

    This is the Team America entry for the world league. Represent.

    Would’ve been amazing if she had used the word publicly but

    “Melania is glad to have a babysitter for Donald, and she will find some kind of project to team up with him herself if he stays around,” a Palm Beach source tells PEOPLE

    Eh.

      Very deceptive headline. Quotes on ‘babysitter’ in a sentence purporting to be about Melania’s opinion.

      A simple “, says source” at the end would have given significantly more journalistic integrity.

      I know. A tall order in 2025.

      Agreed. My first reaction was to read the article, and it’s a third party using those words, obviously to spike engagement (lying works!).

      Don’t waste your time with the read. Not worth it.

      Trump and Musk are already dating? At the very least exchanging long protein strains

        You probably didn’t mean it, but this implies that past sexual relations tarnish a woman in some way, which isn’t good

          I get you, let me clarify.

          Any kind of association with Trump tarnishes a person.

          Melania isn’t less of a good human being for doing the nasty with someone, she is because she let herself be bought by a fascist.

          She is no less or no more tarnished than Vance or Kushner. I also wouldn’t want to shake their hands for the same reason as above.

        If it’d spin the razotblade over their forming right-wing cabal and tear it into pieces I’m ready for a little sacrifice, with some hygienic measures first.

        Yet, what I’m thinking in general is for an idiot like Musk stealing his opponent’s wife (like a thing) would be just the right way to assert dominance. And with a small 0,01% chance I can see it happen and cause a welcome disorder in their semi-stable relations.

          To be honest, there is no way Melania is not fucking at least two sets of poolboys already. I mean, was Trump ever faithful?

          If it went public though, Trump being cucked publically, that would probably stir some shit up.

    That’s way more than I want to unpack, but it seems Melania is fucking the pool boy while Elon and trump trade handies.

      People having been in his vicinity have reported a foul stench, so it’s unlikely that he is assisted by anyone who does this kind of job professionally.

      I would guess that he’s too proud to ask for help, so he probably just trashes some restroom or bath occasionally and then denies it ever happening.
