In a revelation that bridges technology and politics, Elon Musk and Barron Trump found common ground during a Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, engaging in an extensive discussion about interplanetary colonization and the future of human civilization on Mars.
Barron, an enigmatic personality due to lack of media exposure in the past, is now all grown up – literally, at six foot seven inches tall.
Maye Musk, mother of the tech billionaire, shared details about the unexpected connection between her son and former President Donald Trump’s youngest son. According to Maye, the two were “discussing all the different planets and why Mars is the best place to start a new civilization.”
The conversation between the SpaceX founder and the 18-year-old Barron extended beyond space exploration. Days after the dinner, Elon Musk revealed they had also discussed “consciousness & video games.”
The Thanksgiving gathering at Mar-a-Lago was notable not only for the intellectual exchange between Musk and the younger Trump but also for its star-studded guest list, which included actor Sylvester Stallone. During the festivities, Musk was observed dancing to “YMCA.”
Maye Musk, who attended the dinner, described the Trump family as “delightful, kind, sweet, generous, interesting and soft-spoken.” She expressed interest in spending more time with incoming First Lady Melania Trump, highlighting the growing connections between the two families.
The evening’s discussions may have broader implications for both families’ futures in Palm Beach. Reports indicate that Elon Musk is considering purchasing property near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, with sources suggesting he has offered $100 million for a 19,000-square-foot penthouse. If completed, this purchase would set a new record for West Palm Beach real estate.
The relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has also strengthened, with Musk emerging as a key supporter of Trump’s campaign. Trump has named Musk to head a proposed Department of Government Efficiency.
