Social media users are accusing billionaire Elon Musk of trying to ‘make a move’ on Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, after he sent her a complimentary message online
Elon Musk appears to making a move on his boss’ daughter – Ivanka Trump – after he started commenting on her social media posts.
Billionaire Musk, who has secured a role in Trump’s government as the leader of the new Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), was also seen talking to Ivanka during a pre-inauguration dinner earlier this week. The pair, who will be spending more time with each other since Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the US, appear to be getting on well.
Musk’s interest has not gone unnoticed by social media users, who flocked to X to suggest his comments were “creepy” and unnecessary. The X owner shared his thoughts on his own online platform.
Ivanka shared a photo from the post-ceremony celebrations that took place at the White House on Monday, January 20. She attended the Liberty Ball, alongside her husband Jared Kushner and other A-listers.
To the event she donned a sleeveless white ballgown with black flower detailing. She completed the look with long black gloves and posed for a photo on a staircase.
Apparently pleased with the photo, Elon commented on her post. He wrote: “Making fashion beautiful again,” in reference to her father’s political slogan.
Her Givenchy gown mimicked an Audrey Hepburn, which she wore in the film Sabrina alongside co-star Humphrey Bogart. Musk used the comment to solidify his growing relationship with Trump’s daughter.
They were also both caught talking at Trump’s pre-inauguration dinner. They had an animated discussion in the candlelit venue, with their partners also making acquaintance.
However, several X users thought the interaction was strange. One responded directly to Musk’s comment: “she’s married little bro.”
Another repeated: “She’s married Bro.” A third added: “Elon making his move,” while a fourth simply noted: “creepy.”
Musk has been a key figure in the press, as inauguration viewers accused him of performing a Nazi salute while giving a speech to Americans. Onlookers took to X to share a video lasting just nine seconds.
In it, he holds a hand to his heart before raising his hand. While many ignored the action, some noticed the seemingly strange movement and took to social media to discuss their suspicions.
Musk placed a hand to his heart and then aggressively straightened his arm into what viewers are accusing to be a “Nazi salute”. A user captioned the post: “Elon Musk gave two back to back Nazi salutes at the Trump inauguration parade.”
