Elon Musk recently revealed the specifics of his conversation with Barron Trump over the Thanksgiving festivities in Mar-a-Lago. Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, and his mother, Maye Musk, were among the prominent attendees at the opulent dinner party hosted by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at his Florida residence. The Musks were sat at the same table as Mr. Trump, his wife Melania, and their youngest son, Barron, according to videos from the event that went viral. The videos generated a lot of interest in the subjects covered by the VIP visitors.
Musk disclosed that he had been talking about "consciousness and video games" with the president-elect's kid in response to a humorous post on X (previously Twitter) in which a user humorously envisioned a chat between Barron and Mr. Trump. Joining the conversation, Maye Musk praised Barron as "very smart" and mentioned that he and Elon had chatted all evening. Musk was seen dancing to the tune "YMCA" while sitting next to Mr. Trump, adding a vibrant touch to the event. The billionaire raised his hand and moved in time to the music when Mr. Trump gave him a light tap on the shoulder in the video. Later, Musk wrote on X to wish his fans a "great Thanksgiving."
Musk also talked about the 1993 movie Demolition Man on X after spending time with actor Sylvester Stallone during the event. Thirty years ago, Musk remarked on the film's eerie prophecies of a "crazy woke future". Musk's attendance at the event is consistent with his increasing political involvement in the United States. He has actively promoted candidates he supports and endorsed Mr. Trump's cabinet choices using his platform, X. Between November 7 and November 20, Musk shared or reposted content about Trump's cabinet appointments over 70 times, according to a news8.in analysis. Amid postings and memes about Mr. Trump, Musk adopted the humorous moniker "First Buddy" to refer to his informal position.
American-born Barron Trump seems unconcerned about Donald Trump's plan to abolish birthright citizenship. Those with at least one parent who is a US citizen or lawful resident are not included by the policy, which focuses on future births. In a November 16 Facebook post, President-elect Donald Trump stated that his youngest son, Barron, would suffer greatly if he were to lose his birthright citizenship. According to a portion of the article, he was born three months before his mother obtained US citizenship, so he is not a citizen and must leave. The claim received hundreds of likes and shares on Threads and was replayed thousands of times on X and TikTok.
However, his father's bid to become president would not affect Barron Trump's U.S. citizenship for several other reasons. It would only cover future births; children born in the country to at least one parent who is currently a citizen or lawful permanent resident would not be protected. According to a news8.in story, Barron Trump's parents both met that requirement when he was born. Barron Trump's citizenship is unaffected by the idea for a number of reasons. Trump's Agenda 47 policy program claims that the 14th Amendment has been misconstrued to only apply to those who were born in the United States, despite the fact that U.S. citizenship has been granted to anybody born in the nation for over 150 years.
This would mean that children born in the United States to non-citizen parents are not U.S. citizens, according to Trump. Such a proposition is practically guaranteed to start a massive court dispute. But his younger son's citizenship would not change if it were to become law. Trump has declared that he will issue an executive order addressing birthright citizenship on the first day of his second term in office. He clarified, though, that the regulation would not be retroactive and would only apply to infants born after it takes effect. Additionally, a child would not automatically acquire citizenship unless at least one parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident, which is known as a Green Card Holder.
