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.

    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.
