Move follows “First Buddy” Musk’s recent residence in a cottage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“First Buddy” Elon Musk will be living in a garage at the White House that is attached directly to the Oval Office, according to news reports.
The garage will give Musk direct access to the new President Donald Trump. The close proximity will allow Musk at a moment’s notice to sit in at White House staff meetings telling everybody else what to do, join the President as he watches Fox News, partake of meals with Trump at any time of day or night, and help Trump write tweets calling for every illegal alien in America to be deported right after Trump’s inauguration.
The tweets that go out may be under Musk’s new name, Kekius Maximus, that he uses on X, his social media platform. The name merges Kekius, a “memecoin” derived from cryptocurrencies, with Maximus Decimus Meridius, a figure from the film, Gladiator.
It’s good to know Musk, known for his innovations such as inserting a computer-generated chip into somebody’s brain, can also be so inventive with names. He’s just the kind of person you’d want hanging around with Donald Trump, who himself invents names, such as calling Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas,” new Senator Adam Schiff from California “Little Pencil Neck,” and “Al Frankenstein” for former Minnesota Senator Al Franken.
It’s said that Musk may even have a sleep-over in the White House itself whenever Trump feels the need for the company of his newfound First Buddy.
Musk’s move into the garage, in which taxpayers will foot the bill for the monthly rent since it’s on official government property, comes after he spent Trump’s pre-inauguration period living in a cottage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
With Musk living close by to the 47th President at Mar-a-Lago, Trump could boast about having the world’s richest man as his tenant at the Banyan cottage on the Florida estate. Now Trump will have Earth’s richest man hanging out within spitting distance of him at the Oval Office.
Musk will reside much closer to Trump than the new Vice President, JD Vance, who will live at the official vice-president’s residence several miles away from the White House in the Embassy Row section of Washington, D.C. It makes one wonder whether Musk will be the actual vice-president, or maybe even the President since for all intents and purposes he can pop into the Oval Office and issue commands to White House staff whenever he feels like it.
Asked by nosy reporters about Musk’s living arrangements, Trump said it was “only fitting that I have somebody so rich pay homage to me by wanting to be by my side every moment of every day.”
For his part, Musk said it was “only fitting that I have somebody so powerful as the President of the United States pay homage to me by wanting to be by my side every moment of every day.”
Presently, the White House garage houses a fleet of up to 45 official vehicles for the president. Some of those vehicles will have to be moved elsewhere to make room for Musk’s accommodations, which may include having a fleet of Musk’s Tesla electric cars parked alongside his TV set and bed.
On that latter point, Trump sycophant, the MyPillow guy, Mike Lindell, will be in charge of supplying new fluffy pillows and bedsheets for Musk’s upgraded comfort bed. The pillows, Lindell says, use “actual live human testing” to guarantee customers sleep like a baby. It’s comforting to know that Musk will be getting enough sleep before going about helping Trump rule the world. Unless it’s the other way around where Musk rules and Trump is his servant.
At various times, Musk may invite special guests to stay with him in his garage, which may also include Trump when he gets tired of his upstairs White House bedroom. Trump himself has called the White House a “real dump” and during his first administration as President spent much of his time at Mar-a-Lago or his other properties in New Jersey and elsewhere. Or he might even go down to Texas and stay with Musk in the town of Boca Chica where the billionaire’s SpaceX headquarters are located. Musk said he’d be glad to put Trump up in a room at his home, providing the President can pay the $2,000 a night rent, the same amount Trump charged Musk for staying at the Mar-a-Lago cottage.
“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” said Musk, although one wonders which of them–Musk or Trump–is the goose and the other the gander, whatever that means.
Sure, there are some worrywarts concerned about this close Trump-Musk buddy-buddy relationship. One observer wrote that “unless Trump breaks it off right now” with Musk, Trump’s “going to be in this kind of dependent relationship” with Musk for the whole time he’s president “because you get used to people giving you money.” The observer dubbed Trump’s dependency position with Musk “Muskotrumpovia” with a “doddering” president “surrounded” by a more “youthful, more active, ambitious oligarch.”
Asked again by those nosy reporters what he thinks of that analysis, Trump sneered and said, “don’t bother me with such stupid questions. I’m the great Donald Trump, ruler of the world. I’ll be friends with whoever I want.”
With that made clear, Trump departed the scene trailed by his staff of loyal underlings on his way for another round of 18 holes at his Trump International Golf Club.
