“That gorgeous, perfect boy.”

Musk is spending “nearly every day” with Trump at the Florida estate and is sitting in on calls with world leaders and weighing in on key cabinet appointments, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reports.
She cites sources who tell her: “While Musk himself is still not expected to take any kind of formal position, given how complicated it would be with his companies, what’s becoming clearer tonight is that he doesn’t really need to – with one source telling me Elon Musk is having just as much influence from the outside.”
Tech journalist Kara Swisher also told CNN: “I’ve heard from Trump people, calling me saying, ‘Oh, wow. This is odd’.
“He [Musk] definitely inserts himself all the time; that’s his style. That’s why he’s just suddenly shown up there like the guest that wouldn’t leave.”
In some of the snaps with the Trumps, Musk has his child X-AE-A12 with him.
In the golf course snap, the child is pulling a face, with Musk posting: “Lil X is being such a troll.”

“Only Elon can do this.”

Kai Madison Trump, 17, spoke at the Republican National Convention on July 17.
“To me, he’s just a normal grandpa,” Kai said.
“He calls me during the school day to ask me how my golf game is going.”
Kai said she has to then remind Trump she’s in school and she’ll call him back later.
“He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking,” she continued.
Kai also mentioned his pride in his grandchildren, recalling a time he printed out her honor roll certificate and hung it up.
“Obviously, he sets the bar pretty high, but who knows, maybe one day I’ll catch him,” Kai continued.
“A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell and he’s still standing.”
