According to sources, it seems that Elon Musk has been spending quite a bit of time at a cottage in Mar-a-Lago since Donald Trump was elected as President. The cottage, called Banyan, costs $2,000 per night and is conveniently located close to the main residence where Trump resides.
Musk, who was Trump's biggest donor and has been providing him with policy advice, has been staying at Banyan almost full-time since Election Day, as reported by The New York Times on Monday. The cottage is just a short walk away from Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
It seems that Trump has been quite proud of having the world's richest man rent one of his residential spots. Since winning the election, Musk has been a constant presence by Trump's side. However, the exact amount Musk will be charged for his stay is still unclear, as guests are usually billed at the end of their stay.
Sources say that Musk has spent over $250 million to help Trump win the November election. In return, Trump has chosen Musk to co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency and has invited him to join in on important meetings, including ones with foreign leaders. Musk has also had the opportunity to attend some of Trump's dinners.
However, Musk apparently left Mar-a-Lago around Christmas and is expected to return soon. The Banyan cottage has been known to cost $2,000 per night, but it remains to be seen if Musk will be charged for his stay or if it will be complimentary, as is usually the case with guests at Trump's properties.
Trump recently acknowledged Musk's absence in a public post on Twitter, asking when he will be returning to the "Center of the Universe" – Mar-a-Lago. He also mentioned that Bill Gates has asked to come and that New Year's Eve is going to be "AMAZING."
Some of Trump's advisers have expressed frustration about Musk's constant presence and perceived influence on the President. However, it seems that incoming First Lady Melania Trump enjoys having Musk around. In the past, the Banyan cottage has also housed Trump's former vice presidential running mate JD Vance and former Speaker of the House John Boehner.
