Soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump is happy to have billionaire businessman Elon Musk hanging around Mar-A-Lago on a daily basis, according to a source that gave an exclusive to People.

“Melania is glad to have a babysitter for Donald, and she will find some kind of project to team up with him herself if he stays around,” the source said, and others agreed she hasn't minded having Musk there keeping her husband busy.

"Melania has her own life and isn't bothered by political dealings her husband has with others," the source said. "But so far, she has no issues with Musk."

She has her own stuff going on and is glad to see that her husband also does, sources agreed.

"Not bothered"

“Melania is in good spirits and does her own thing, and is not bothered one way or the other by Musk hanging around,” a social source told People.

“For the most part, she is not involved with subjects her husband is discussing with Musk or anyone else hanging around him. Right now, Trump has a lot of people wanting things from him. She is all too aware of that.”

Melania will have her own duties as First Lady, which will keep her busy along with taking care of her college-age son Barron in New York.

Musk has reportedly sat in on phone calls with world leaders and weighed in on White House staffing decisions, as well as playing golf and dining at the famous Trump resort.

Trump has used the resort as something of a political headquarters since his campaign began, and continues to do so during the transition.

A nominee turned friend and advisor

Musk also spent New Year's Eve with the Trumps, which shows how close their relationship has become.

Of course, Musk has been nominated by Trump to head a new office in his administration: the Department of Government Efficiency.

Melania sees the relationship as a net positive.

After all, who else understands a billionaire like another billionaire.

The two have a shared experience only a handful of others on the globe possess, and Musk risked much to hitch his wagon to Trump's. So far, he has not crashed and burned, but knowing Trump, it still could happen.
