    Billionaire Elon Musk joined President-elect Donald Trump and his family for a victory “squad” photo in the wake of the Republican’s election win — but once and future first lady Melania Trump was conspicuously absent.
    The family portrait featured the 78-year-old Trump beaming alongside his five children, their partners and a handful of his grandchildren at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., on election night.
    “The whole squad,” Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai, declared as she shared the snap on X on Wednesday.

    While the Tesla founder and his own son X Æ A-12 managed to sneak into the shot, Trump’s Slovenia-born wife was glaringly absent.
    Don Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who appeared on stage with the family — including Melania — for Trump’s victory speech, was also missing.
    Kai’s mom, Vanessa Trump — who divorced Don Jr. in 2018 — was front and center in the picture.
    Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos; Ivanka Trump and her spouse, Jared Kushner; Eric and Lara Trump; and towering 18-year-old first son Barron Trump were all part of the tableau.
    The SpaceX founder, who was among those gathered at Trump’s election night watch party at Mar-a-Lago, was one of the Republican candidate’s most high-profile supporters in the 2024 presidential election cycle.
    He donated nearly $120 million alone to a pro-Trump super PAC, addressed rallies on Trump’s behalf and set up a $1 million-per-day giveaway for registered voters.

    Musk also shared the stage with Trump at an Oct. 5 rally in Butler, Pa. — three months after an attempt on the 45th president’s life there — and urged voters to swing right.
    “I’m dark MAGA,” he told the crowd at the time.
    The richest man in the world’s newfound admiration for Trump followed years of support for Democratic candidates — including voting for Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012.
