Trump Hosts Musk at Mar-a-Lago for Election Night Slumber Party. Move Over, Loomer!

Sorry, Laura — your invite must've got lost in the mail.

Step aside Laura Loomer, Donald Trump has a new BFFL (best friend for life) — or perhaps mancrush.

Trump head cheerleader Elon Musk will be bunking with the former president at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach tonight as the 2024 general election results pour in, according to the New York Times.

Sources tell the newspaper that the X (that's Twitter to you and us) owner will be among a small group sharing election-night festivities with the veteran presidential hopeful.

If the pair will spend the entire night together, one X user has an important question:

"Who's gonna be the small spoon?"

Another X user appropriated a more — gasp! — NSFW observation in response to the slumber-party news.
Another wondered what olfactory results might come of the mogul-on-mogul commingling of, er, musks, suggesting that "[t]he smell in the room would be unimaginable."
You may want to shield your eyes for this next one (TW).

We'll wait.

OK?

"Well we know where that leads," a user wrote above an AI image of Trump cradling a glowingly pregnant Elon.
It's not a huge surprise that Musk and Trump would choose to watch the returns roll in; the pair has been crushing on one another with a passion in the months leading up to Election Day.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO threw his support behind the Republican nominee in July and poured more than $118 million into a pro-Trump America PAC of his own creation. Along with the financial backing, Musk has used his social-media platform to spread pro-Trump propaganda and election misinformation. Trump basked in the adulation, lauding Musk as a genius during his town hall at Univision's studios in Doral in October.
Musk smooched back, announcing during an October 19 rally in Pennsylvania that the PAC would give away $1 million a day to voters in swing states who sign a petition in support of the First and Second amendments.

Following a lawsuit filed by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who argued the stunt violates federal election laws, a Pennsylvania judge allowed the giveaway to proceed.

Days before Halloween, the 53-year-old tech billionaire took the stage at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally and declared himself "dark, gothic MAGA" while sporting a hat whose MAGA logo was spelled out in font some observers found to be reminiscent of a typeface that was popular during the Third Reich in Nazi Germany. 

It remains to be seen whether Musk will supply the popcorn for tonight's slumber party.
