Donald Trump’s bestie “Elonia Musk” dragged for appearing in family photo without Melania
The index to future histories chronicling Donald Trump’s rise and fall got a new entry on Monday night, courtesy Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night Live show: “Elonia Musk.”
The nicknname follows a flurry of palace intrigue around Musk’s appearance in a “family photo” snapped on election night that featured the billionaire X owner and his son but not once-and-future First Lady Melania Trump.

Even if Trump doesn’t implement his anti-trans agenda, Vivian Jenna Wilson cited one reason she’s still leaving…
“I think it’s a little weird, right?” said CNN’s Ana Navarro on Friday after Trump family members posted the pic to X. “I mean, Elon Musk seems to be everywhere at all times. He’s like Secretary of Everything, and at the same time, he’s like the First Lady.”

Melania Trump did show at Trump’s victory speech later that night.
The “First Lady” assignment picked up steam over the weekend as rumors swirled that Musk’s online nemesis author, Stephen King, had trolled him on X with the same moniker, and Musk banned him from his increasingly right-wing platform. The speculation stoked accusations of hypocrisy on the part of the self-described free-speech advocate.
The X ban rumor was debunked by Politifact, but nevertheless inspired a rash of memes feeding the world’s richest man’s insatiable demand for attention.
It was left to Kimmel to memorialize Musk’s new status as “Elonia.”
“Trump isn’t appointing comic book villains to run the government on his own,” Kimmel said of the president-elect’s personnel announcements for his second administration. “He’s been getting a lot of help from the richest man in the world.”
“Musk has been in the room when world leaders have called Trump, and tonight we’ve learned he’s also weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles. He’s picking out outfits for Trump to wear, he’s been applying his bronzing cream to his face. Cute couple.”
Kimmel added with a rimshot flourish: “Look out, Melania, Trump’s got a new squeeze named Elonia Musk.”
While Trump’s actual wife has shunned the traditional White House meeting with First Lady Jill Biden, Musk is diving in feet first into his role as Trump’s work wife, joining a call to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky last week and weighing in on X about where he wants Trump to take the country. Like Trump’s two ex-wives, Musk will likely suffer inevitable disappointment.
In the meantime, the wannabe “secretary of cost-cutting” — a nebulous position Trump has dangled like a bright, shiny toy for the ADHD-challenged CEO — can take satisfaction in the fact his investment in Trump’s candidacy paid off. He earned $15 billion alone on Election Night as his Tesla stock price surged.
