In a heartwarming moment from Mar-a-Lago, Elon Musk can be seen dancing to the classic Village People song “YMCA” next to President Trump and his family. When a video of the event was posted to social media, it went massively viral, and conservatives flocked to express their affection for the Trump family and Musk.
For context, Elon Musk has become one of Donald Trump’s closest allies and was charged by the president to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in an executive order. Musk has spent much of Trump’s second term in the spotlight, and conservatives have come to love him for his charming mannerisms and fearless war on waste.
This was shown when conservative influencer Benny Johnson posted a video of Melania and Barron dancing to the song together, with the crowd singing along. His November 28, 2024, post read, “Elon Musk is rocking out to YMCA at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump, Barron and Melania 
”
In the comments under his post, conservatives laughed along with the Trumps at the joyous occasion. One such comment read, “This is awesome! MAGA is going to change this country back to greatness!” Another added, “Epic night at Mar-a-Lago! Trump always knows how to bring together the greatest minds. Love seeing Elon embracing the MAGA movement. This is what real American success looks like folks! He looks genuinely happy, hanging out with his new bud, Elon. 
So happy for them all. Happy Thanksgiving.”
Building on the previous points, some users wondered if there was a paternal relationship between Musk and Trump. A user wondered, “I think Trump has adopted Elon. So sweet. Elon never had a father figure other than his abusive father that left.” Agreeing, one user said, “Elon and his dad didn’t have a great relationship. I kind of feel like Trump is becoming Elons adopted father. I think when Trump asked him to be in the family photo after the election it meant a lot to Elon. Now Trump’s granddaughter is calling him Uncle Elon. Very heartwarming.”
Rounding out the comments, some comments were content to celebrate the happy occasion. A response read, “Does @elonmusk have a new address? I love it! Grateful things are looking up for our country!” Another comment added, “I love this so much! 
Elon is part of the Trump family, Uncle Elon 
You can see how happy everyone is! President Trump, Melania and Barron have the biggest smiles 
on their face!” Wrapping up, one user said, “I just love the fact that Elon is hanging out with our President. It’s like they’re best buds. Also, looks like their party is a blast and they are still celebrating Trump’s victory. God bless them. Grateful.”
As we reported, First Lady Melania Trump recently went viral on social media when footage showed her dancing alongside President-elect Donald Trump to the YMCA. The duo stole the show as the incoming president busted out his famous “Trump dance” moves while Melania gave her rendition.
