Elon Musk har hyrt in sig på Trumps residens
Sedan presidentvalet i USA i november har Elon Musk hyrt ett hus på Donald Trumps residens Mar-a-Lago för att kunna vara nära den tillträdande presidenten. Det rapporterar New York Times.
Huset har tidigare hyrts ut för över 20 000 kronor om dagen, men det är enligt tidningen oklart vad Elon Musk kommer att betala i slutändan.
Enligt New York Times har boendesituationen inneburit att Elon Musk har kunnat ”dyka upp” på Trumps middagar i Mar-a-Lago, vilket han till exempel gjorde när den tillträdande presidenten träffade Musks rival Amazonmiljardären Jeff Bezos nyligen.

Wikipedia (en)
Mar-a-Lago ( MAR ə LAH-goh, Spanish: [ˈmaɾ a ˈlaɣo]) is a resort and National Historic Landmark in Palm Beach, Florida. It spans 126 rooms and 62,500 sq ft (5,810 m2) built on 17 acres of land. Since 1985, it has been owned by United States president-elect Donald Trump. The estate has been his primary residence since 2019.
Mar-a-Lago was built for the businesswoman and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post between 1924 and 1927, during the Florida land boom. At the time of her death in 1973, Post bequeathed the property to the National Park Service, hoping it could be used for state visits or as a Winter White House. However, because the costs of maintaining the property exceeded the funds provided by Post, and because it was difficult to secure the facility, the property was returned to the Post Foundation by act of Congress 96-586 on 23 December 1980.
In 1985, Donald Trump, primarily a businessman and real estate investor at the time, acquired Mar-a-Lago and used it as a residence. In 1994, he converted it into the Mar-a-Lago Club, a members-only club with guest rooms, a spa, and other hotel-style amenities. The Trump family maintains private quarters in a closed-off area on the grounds. During his first presidency, Trump frequently visited Mar-a-Lago and held meetings there with international leaders, including Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese president Xi Jinping. Since 2019, Trump has designated the estate as his primary residence.
