After Donald Trump’s recent election victory, a family photo posted by his granddaughter, Kai Trump, has drawn widespread attention—not only for who was present but also for who was unexpectedly included: Elon Musk. Kai captioned the photo “The whole squad,” featuring Musk holding his son X Æ A-12, which has fueled speculation about Musk’s increasingly close ties with the President-elect.
The tech mogul, who played a prominent role in Trump’s re-election campaign, reportedly contributed over $100 million to support Trump’s bid and actively campaigned in key swing states. On election night, Musk was seen mingling with guests at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, and later retweeted Kai’s post. He even shared his own photo with Trump, captioned “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” which translates to “a new order of the ages.”
During his victory speech, Trump praised Musk, calling him a “super genius” and expressing admiration for his unwavering support. In return, Trump has hinted at Musk taking on a unique role in his administration, a position informally dubbed “Secretary of Cost-Cutting,” to streamline government efficiency.
This alliance appears strategically advantageous for Musk, who may benefit from regulatory relief and access to government subsidies under the new administration. With Trump’s return to the White House, the partnership signals a powerful synergy between politics and technology, marking the beginning of a potentially transformative era.
