The presence of Musk, who \u200bbrought his son along for the photo, was highlighted by various\u2063 news outlets, with some commentators\u2062 assessing the implications of their friendship. While some\u2062 in the liberal media \u2064expressed concern regarding Musk&#8217;s potential \u2064influence, many supporters on social media welcomed Musk&#8217;s inclusion as a sign of a strong alliance. Following this, Trump announced Musk&#8217;s appointment, along with\u2063 Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency aimed at restructuring and \u200creducing the bureaucracy in federal agencies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Members of the liberal media have had plenty of opportunities to gnash their teeth over Donald Trump&rsquo;s Nov. 5 election victory, but particularly grating to them has been the presence of tech mogul Elon Musk in Trump&rsquo;s inner circle, before and after election night.<\/p>\n<p>Many of them made much of the fact that Musk was included in some of the family photos that were snapped at Mar-a-Lago that night.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President-elect Trump pulled tech billionaire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/elon-musk-expose-jfk-assassin-within-hours-trump-taking-office-1-brilliant-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk<\/a> and his son into a family photo on election night,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/4984945-trump-pulls-elon-musk-son-into-family-photo-on-election-night\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a> reported Monday.<\/p>\n<p>That scoop apparently came about as a result of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=smI_BS5Tujg&amp;t=236s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> video log, or vlog, posted by Kai Trump, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-cant-deny-responsibility-for-our-so-so-divided-nation\/\" title=\"Biden Can\u2019t Deny Responsibility For Our \u2018So, So Divided\u2019 Nation\">president-elect&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s 18-year-old granddaughter, who has previously been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-granddaughter-commits-major-ncaa-school-play-golf-sends-heartfelt-thank-grandpa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the spotlight<\/a> during this campaign and even spoke at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/barron-trump-set-jump-politics-republican-national-convention-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican National Convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kai Trump Election Night Vlog\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/smI_BS5Tujg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>As different family groups cozied up for photos, Trump called his fellow billionaire over to join in.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have to get Elon with his boy,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-makes-triumphant-return-washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> called out. &ldquo;Gorgeous, perfect boy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Musk, carrying his toddler son X &AElig; A-Xii (or &ldquo;X&rdquo; for short), joined the group of Trump kids and grandkids.<\/p>\n<p>The snapshots that resulted from Trump&rsquo;s friendly gesture sparked a new wave of nervous speculation among left-leaning journalists.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[T]he billionaire&rsquo;s inclusion in such a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">high-profile family photo suggests<\/a> his influence may be felt in unexpected ways in the coming years,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/elon-musk-trump-family-photo-election-1981895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsweek<\/a> observed.<\/p>\n<p>CNN contributor Ana Navarro noted the absence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/melania-trump-give-jill-biden-cold-shoulder-week-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melania Trump<\/a> in the photo and quipped, &ldquo;Elon Musk seems to be everywhere at all times.

Many highlighted Musk&#8217;s inclusion in family photos taken at Mar-a-Lago that night. According to The Hill, &#8220;President-elect Trump included tech billionaire Elon Musk and his son in a family photo on election night.&#8221; This information reportedly came from a vlog posted by Kai Trump, the president-elect\u2019s 18-year-old granddaughter, who gained attention during the campaign and even spoke at the Republican National Convention. As various family groups gathered for pictures, Trump called Musk over to join them, saying, \u201cWe need to get Elon with his boy,\u201d referring to Musk\u2019s toddler son X \u00c6 A-Xii (or \u201cX\u201d for short). The resulting photos sparked fresh speculation among left-leaning journalists about Musk&#8217;s potential influence moving forward. Newsweek noted that \u201c[t]he billionaire\u2019s presence in such a prominent family photo indicates his influence may be felt unexpectedly in the years ahead.\u201d CNN contributor Ana Navarro humorously pointed out Melania Trump&#8217;s absence from the picture and remarked that \u201cElon Musk seems to be everywhere at all times&#8230; he\u2019s like [the] first lady,\u201d as reported by the U.K. Mirror. Meanwhile, MAGA supporters on social media expressed their enthusiastic approval of this friendship with comments like \u201cElon has officially been adopted as a member of the Trump family; he\u2019s now part of the family portrait!\u201d On Tuesday, Trump announced that he would appoint both Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency aimed at reducing government bureaucracy and restructuring federal agencies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2368905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/musk-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[11445,37805,4250,34962,3634],"class_list":["post-2368904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-behind-the-scenes","tag-election-night","tag-musk","tag-photography","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/musk-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2368904"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2368908,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368904\/revisions\/2368908"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2368905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2368904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2368904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2368904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
