During a Thanksgiving party at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump and Elon Musk were seen dancing together to the YMCA, showcasing their growing friendship.
The event, which took place in Florida, was attended by numerous celebrities including members of the Trump family, Maye Musk, Sylvester Stallone, and the Space X founder.
The highlight of the evening was captured by jewellery designer Jacob Safar, who filmed the moment when YMCA, a song often associated with Trump, started playing.
Posting clips from the night to his Instagram stories, Trump and Musk were seen dancing to The Village People tune from their seats.
The pair were sitting next to each other at a table that was specially roped off with a red cord.
As the YMCA began, Trump hit his hand on the table in time to the song before turning to pat Musk on the shoulder.
The tech mogul then raised his arms to dance as Trump shared a laugh with someone else at the table.
The President-elect then turned to his youngest son Barron who was sitting next to him looking every part the awkward and embarrassed teenager as his dad continued to laugh.
Musk and Trump then rocked side to side and nodded their heads to the music as other guests were all dancing behind them.
A second clip showed Trump pumping his arms to the music while Musk filmed others in the room.
Maye Musk even got involved with the dancing while Melania Trump sat next to her son smiling at those around the table.
Trump’s infamous dad dance has moved on from the stages of rallies and the four walls of Mar-a-Lago and into the world of sports with numerous athletes adopting the moves.
Another Instagram story showed the moment Musk made his grand entrance where he received rapturous applause and whistles of support as he bowed to the adoring crowd of guests in the lavish dining room.
‘CO-PRESIDENT’
The co-chair of the new Department of Government Efficiency, alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, has not left Trump’s side since the final days running up to the election.
On the victorious election night, Trump invited “uncle Elon” to be part of the family photo to mark the occasion.
He has since become a regular fixture at Mar-a-Lago, playing golf with the Trump family, belting out God Bless America with his new boss, and taking the next President to watch the SpaceX rocket launch.

Trump has even joked that Musk “likes this place, I can’t get him out of here.”
His new position in Trump’s cabinet and his role as one of Trump’s closest confidantes comes after the billionaire spent around $200 million to help the Republican’s campaign against Kamala Harris.
The Tesla CEO has been a key advisor to Trump including when it came to his selection of nominees for the new administration.
He has also been involved in phone calls with world leaders including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as some sources claim he is behaving like a “co-president.”
This has reportedly started causing tension in the Trump camp, a source told the New York Post.
Another claimed that Musk has vetted almost every cabinet pick despite the 47th President having a transition team at his fingertips.
