Thanksgiving bond: Elon and Barron talk Mars
Maye shared a special moment from the Thanksgiving holiday, where her son Elon connected with Trump’s youngest son, Barron. According to Maye, the two bonded over their shared interest in space exploration.
“At the Thanksgiving dinner, Barron and Elon were talking planets,” Maye said. “[Barron’s] 18 years old. They were discussing all the different planets and why Mars is the best place to start a new civilization. And I was very impressed with him, too.”
Musk’s commitment to America’s future
Maye also praised Elon Musk’s intentions to contribute positively to the future of America, highlighting his dedication to innovation and progress. She expressed that Trump has demonstrated transparency and honesty in his leadership proposals.
“My son wants ‘to do good things’ for America,” Maye said as per the news report. “I think Trump just wants everything to be honest and open so that you know where your tax dollars are going. He’s not going to be mean to people… I think we’re all going to be happier.”

Maye Musk’s growing connection with the Trump family
As her son’s relationship with Trump strengthens, Maye herself has been developing her bond with the Trump family. She described her interactions with the family as warm and positive.
“I’ve met Melania. I’m looking forward to spending more time with her, too,” Maye shared. “Everyone is delightful, kind, sweet, generous, interesting and soft-spoken, which is interesting because, as politicians, you can talk loud.”
