Internet clowns Elon Musk as Donald Trump’s new first lady: 'Mrs. Trump looks a little different'

As Melania remains absent, social media dubs Musk "Mrs. Trump" for his constant support and MAGA allegiance.

Reports suggest that Melania Trump may not reside full-time at the White House, and with her absence, the internet has humorously dubbed Elon Musk as Donald Trump’s "new First Lady." The billionaire tech mogul, a strong supporter of Trump’s reelection campaign, has become a prominent presence at the president-elect’s side.

Social media reactions reflect a blend of amusement and intrigue as users remark on Musk’s ongoing support for Trump and his frequent presence with the Trump family.

Since embracing Trump’s "MAGA" ideals, Musk has made numerous appearances with Trump’s inner circle, posing in family photos and even holding Trump’s four-year-old son. 

Recently, Trump’s granddaughter Kai referred to Musk as “Uncle Elon,” underscoring Musk’s newfound closeness to the family. 

"It’s not surprising that Trump has already welcomed Musk into his family," wrote one user. During the campaign, Musk was a vocal advocate, making headlines with his offer of $1 million a day for Trump supporters to join his Political Coordination Account (PCA) and his relentless promotion of right-wing views on social media.

Online, some users have dubbed Musk "Elonia" and “Mrs. Trump,” posting memes and edited photos that superimpose his face over Melania’s.

"He wears his MAGA hat on social media, posts about Trump daily, and seems to follow him everywhere," one user commented, capturing Musk’s apparent role as Trump’s closest ally.

As one user joked, "Wherever Trump is, there’s a good chance Elon Musk is there too."

Musk’s influence in Trump’s post-election life has raised eyebrows, especially as he has reportedly been involved in meetings with foreign leaders and discussions around Trump’s cabinet. 

One social media user noted, "Musk seems like a far more serious confidant than Melania or Vance." 

Jokes aside, Musk’s deep involvement with Trump’s activities has led many to speculate about his unofficial yet powerful role in the Trump administration.
